In 1903, he was admitted to the bar and relocated to Canton, Ohio, where he commenced to practice.

Herbruck in Canton, Ohio, and the couple would have three children, Catherine was born in 1907, Kathryn was born in 1908, and Hugh Herbruck was born in 1912. He then decided to run for a seat in the United States Congress, but was an unsuccessful candidate for election to the Sixty-Third Congress in 1912. He then ran again for a seat in the United States Congress and this time was elected. A Republican, he then served Ohio's 16th District (Sixty-Fourth, Sixty-Fifth, and Sixty-Sixth Congresses) in the United States House of Representatives from 1915 to 1921. He was not a candidate for renomination in 1920. During this time he was also a Candidate in the primary for Governor of Ohio in 1920.
