AVERBUCK WON MY FREEDOM

I WAS IN POLK COUNTY JAIL FOR 15 MONTHS. I WAS CHARGED WITH BURGLARY, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE WITH STRANGULATION, TAMPERING WITH A WITNESS, RESISTING ARREST WITHOUT VIOLENCE AND PRESCRIPTION MEDS WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION . WE WENT TO TRIAL FOR THE MISDEMEANORS CHARGES AND WE WON . WE GOT A JUDGEMENT OF A...CQUITTAL ON BOTH CHARGES. DURING THE MOTION TO SUPPRESS FOR THE MISDEMEANORS, THE COP TOOK THE STAND WHO ARRESTED ME. PHILIP CROSSED EXAMINED THE COP. PHILIP CAUGHT THE COP LYING AND CONTRADICTING HIMSELF . EVEN THE JUDGE SAID THE COP WAS CONTRADICTING HIMSELF . PHILIP'S CROSS EXAMINATIONS WAS LIKE WATCHING MICHELANGELO PAINTING THE SISTINE CHAPEL . PHILIP MADE A MASTER PIECE DURING CROSS EXAMINATION AND TRIAL . FOR THE FELONIES HE GOT ME THE DEAL I NEEDED. DROPPED ALL CHARGES TO MISDEMEANORS, WITHHELD ADJUDICATION, 2 YEARS PROBATION, AND I GOT TO KEEP MY RN LICENSE . I AM FREE AT LAST . I GET TO HUG MY BABY SON FOR THE FIRST TIME AND KISS MY WIFE, AFTER 15 MONTHS . WITH ALL MY HEART I LOVE YOU PHILIP ! I LOVE YOU JOEANN ! THANK YOU FOR FIGHTING FOR ME AND NOT GIVING UP !

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!

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.

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.

  • 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.
