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.

I met Mr.Averbuck back in 2000 When He was assigned by the court to represent me....He was a Public Defender. Even today after 13 years I still talk about Him.,He is very honest & trustworthy, kept me informed, and always made me feel comfortable.

I couldn't say enough nice things about Mr.Averbuck. You'd be missing out if you didn't atleast give him a try..: )
