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.

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.
