Saved me

Mr Averbuck was absolutely fantastic .... worked very hard on my DUI. .. he was able to get the charges dropped down to a Wreck less Driving after 6 months of appearing in court for me... I live out of the county over 2 hrs away and he appeared for me and kept me up to date with everything. . He alwa...ys returned my calls and kept me calm during my crisis. .. he never made me feel like a criminal and I appreciate that. .. if you are looking for an amazing lawyer that will work hard and have your best interest at heart, go with Mr Averbuck. .. Also his receptionist is so friendly and helpful so she is great too!

10 mph over speeding ticket

Philip Averbuck, First of all, thank you so much! I got a speeding ticket for 10 mph over. I am a CDL holder and drive 18 wheelers for a living. A ticket on my license could make or break me. Philip, not only took my case, but really helped me out once I told him I did 12 years active duty Army and a...m now in the national guard. He represented me in court completely pro bono. So not only does he really care, but he got my case dropped. And too the point where I did not even have to pay the ticket. I could not have called a better person to represent me. If you need legal assistance, don't hesitate, call Philip Averbuck. I am sure glad I did.

Felony dropped and got to keep my driver's license

Charged with poss. meth and poss. drug paraphernalia for the fourth time in a row and I knew it wasn't gonna get thrown out because​ of having the same charges in the past. Averbuck got the state to drop the felony poss of meth and was charged with misdemeanor poss of paraphernalia for 12mths probati...on and they didn't suspended my license which they usually always do if you are charged with drug poss. For 1500 bucks he done a damn good job and got the deal I needed because I'd be really screwed if they would have suspended my licenses like they wanted to.
