License

I couldn't find a better lawyer!! Mr. Averbuck know the law he went above and beyond for me. Very smart lawyer not only smart....kind and caring! He explained in detail everything that was happening and he reassured me when I was scared! I got charges/fines dropped with no jail time! Thank you Mr.... Philip and I will highly recommend you. If I can give more than five stars I would!!

Highly recommend

A few months back I got a speeding ticket and he got me off with adjudication withheld, no points on my license, minor court fees and the cost of the ticket. Phillip and his assistant Joeann are awesome, the communication was amazing I highly recommend!

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.

Mr. Philip Averbuck handled my criminal case excellently!

Mr. Averbuck met with me to give me all information needed on my case. He is very educated on the ins and outs of criminal court and all things pertaining to the legal system. I have never been in trouble criminally and I'm in my 40s. He told me what needed to be done, gave me an estimate then proce...eded to take care of my situation as he told me he would. My case took about seven months and many court and courthouse visits. Without his direction and making me feel comfortable with the process I think I would have fell apart. Mr Averbuck new exactly how to handle my situation with confidence while maintaining a down to earth calm precise plan and kept me updated of all my concerns. If you need a well educated and experienced lawyer and want the best outcome for your situation legally, get in contact with Mr. Averbuck. He and his staff will go to great lengths to help you and inform you of best case scenarios you need to resolve your situation while making you feel on his level. He doesnt talk down to you. He treated me as an equal, clearly being way more educated than myself. I truely appreciated his and his staff's help and guidance and direction. I have recommended and will continue to recommend him to my family and friends, In my humble opinion everyone will..

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.
