Best attorney

Me Averbuck handled a very delicate case for us after we couldn’t find anyone for under $8000 up front fee. We are in our 70s and on a fixed income. He jump right in and after a while got the charges dropped. While this case was active we received an unwarranted eviction notice and couldn’t find an a...ttorney to handle the case as we live in a 55 plus park. We told Mr Averbuck about it and he volunteered to handle it. He explained he had never handle a case like this but he would do his best. He won this case also (actually it was settled before court with other side dropping the charges) and kept us from being kicked out in the street. We are forever indebted to him and his paralegal Joann.

Traffic Citation Representation

I hired Mr. Averbuck to represent me in the appeal of a traffic citation which I received as part of a collision that I was involved in while visiting the Orlando area in August, 2018. This was a situation where the officer assumed I was at fault based on the damage that he saw but without having act...ually witnessed what occurred. I did not cause the incident and felt strongly that the citation should be dismissed. Mr. Averbuck and his paralegal Joanne were very helpful in working this issue locally and communicating with me out of state. The citation was dismissed in court and I am very grateful to Mr Averbuck and his office for their efforts. I would not hesitate to hire them again and recommend them to anyone locally who is looking for representation in a traffic matter.

Awesome Laywer and paralegal!

After hiring him my felony child neglect case was dismissed in 180 days!! Mr. Averbuck was so understanding and experienced with my type of case. He explained the law and made sure to explain every possible outcome. His paralegal Ms. Joeanne was so knowledgeable and kept me in the loop with everythin...g that was happening. This office turned my nightmare into a calm sea. I’m so grateful and happy that I hired them. I would reccomend him to anyone with criminal charges.

Outstanding Attorney got my Misdemeanor Dismissed

After going to another recommended attorney who did nothing for his sizable fee, I called Mr. Averbuck for a second opinion. Within two weeks, he created motions to dismiss. Unlike my first attorney, Mr. Averbuck understands Florida state laws and was able to get my case dismissed. After the frust...rations, Mr. Averbuck was a breath of fresh air, caring and knowledgeable, reassuring me throughout the process. I highly recommend him.

Great Experience!

I called Mr Averbuck with a hearing date with only 3 days to prepare. He was able to take my case and had it resolved within 2 days. I cannot thank him enough. He has an extensive knowledge base of the Polk County School Board.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
