Averbuck The Great

Just a huge relief off me from my case , I was facing 4 false charges that were felonies, I explained my situation and Mr.Averbuck went right to work and went beyond what he was hired for , before he was even paid him and his paralegal Joann Worked to drop my charges and right now in the process of g...etting the charges expunged. I highly recommend Mr.Averbuck and I will continue to keep in contact with him and Joann for future reference and for a great price Me.Averbuck is a Great .

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.

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.
