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.

A Warrior & Champion when called upon....

Against unbelievable odds - being charged with four felonies, Mr. Averbuck accepted my case and through his methodical training and skills, Mr. Averbuck's success has allowed me to be cleared of those false charges. The weight that was lifted from myself & family is immeasurable. It clearly comes ...down to this: If you are involved, and you are charged: you will not go wrong with hiring Mr. Averbuck as your attorney. The gratitude I have, will stay with me Always. God Bless Mr. Averbuck, his compassionate staff and Mr. Averbuck's family.

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.

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!

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
