Philip Averbuck

Philip Averbuck was very supportive in my time of need as a person that had never needed a criminal attorney before was very pleased with the services provided it is always a difficult time when unexpected incidents arise But was wonderful to have someone on your side with compassion his paralegal Jo...anne was always very helpful and available to answer any questions

How do I begin? Well, I found myself looking for a lawyer after I was pulled over for a suspended driver's license.My license was suspended after a red light camera sighted me for running a red light. I never received notification in the mail, due to problems with my mail carrier. So, I never paid th...e ticket, and then Polk County proceeded to suspend my DL. When I was pulled over I advised the officer that I was not aware of the suspension and he believed me. BUT asked if he could search my vehicle. I asked the police officer why do you want to search my vehicle. He then asked again if he could search the vehicle. I said “NO”, there is no reason for you to search the vehicle, as I am not impaired. Next he called a K-9 unit and commenced to search anyways. The dog alerted the police officer, Oh and did I mention that my son was with me and we were eating Arby’s roast beef sandwiches in the car before the officer pulled us over. My son had a marijuana pipe that he shoved in the console of the car, and I had a prescription of Tramadol that was not in the prescription bottle. All of this was found in the search. I told the officer that the prescription was old and I did not have the bottle with me, and that everything they found was mine. I was arrested, booked, and locked in jail. By the way, Polk County has one of the nasty jails, and the police officer has the worst demeanor. After I was bailed out, I needed to find an attorney. Not just any attorney, but a good criminal attorney. I believe in God, and prayed very hard for him to lead me to the right attorney. Mr. Averbuck did an amazing job defending me. Mr. Averbuck kept me informed of every detail of my case. He called me and spoke with me personally and let me know what to expect each step of the way. Mr. Averbuck is very familiar with the process and all the players in the game. My Judge new Mr. Averbuck and said hello to him when we entered the court room. Mr. Averbuck filed a Motion to Suppress Evidence and subpoenaed the arresting officers to court. We never had to go that far as to hear the officer’s testimony as the prosecutor wanted to make a deal and not have to go to argument. My deal was a very good one and I left with a charge of having a prescription without my prescription (like the bottle or container that the med is supposed to be kept in.) Court lasted about 15 min. Mr. Averbuck is an amazing Lawyer and I am sure if we had to litigate, he would have prevailed. My opinion of his ethics, work, and reputation is that he is an upstanding, experienced attorney. You can relax knowing Phillip Averbuck is your attorney.

Mr. Averbuck met with us the same day we called. Our daughter had violated her probation due to no fault of her own. She was facing 8 months of jail time after successfully completing 10 months of her 18 months on probation. She would have lost a job she loved after working there for almost a year. T...his would have created a tremendous hardship on her and us. Mr Averbuck did a fantastic job! He was able get her out of jail and back to completing the remainder of her probation. As a result, she was able to keep her job! She is doing well. Thank you Mr. Averbuck and your wonderful assistant!
