About Us
Hefferon Law, PLLC was founded in 2025 on a simple belief: families in Charlotte, NC deserve high-quality legal representation without the impersonal experience or inflated fees of a large firm. After spending over a decade helping thousands of clients at some of Charlotte's biggest law firms, attorney Ben Hefferon decided it was time to build something different — a practice small enough to know every client by name, and skilled enough to handle their most important legal matters.
Alongside Ben, paralegal Kara Chick brings years of family law and accounting experience to every case — offering clients the financial expertise and compassionate support that makes a real difference, especially in divorce and separation matters.
Together, Ben and Kara serve families and individuals across Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, Union County, Cabarrus County, and surrounding communities — handling family law, estate planning, and personal injury cases with the care and attention each client deserves.
What Sets Hefferon Law Apart:
Clients Before Billable Hours. Ben founded Hefferon Law because he believed clients deserved an attorney who worries about their outcome — not the clock. At Hefferon Law, you get direct access to Ben, not a rotating cast of associates.
Rooted in Charlotte. Ben has been a Charlotte native for over 40 years. This community isn't just where he practices — it's where he lives, raises his family, and has built relationships for decades. He understands Mecklenburg County courts, local procedures, and the community he serves.
A Team That Cares. Kara Chick's background in family law and accounting means clients get both legal and financial support under one roof — particularly valuable in divorce and property division cases. Together, Ben and Kara are committed to making a difficult process as clear and manageable as possible.
