About Philip
Biography
I am very concerned about the increasing aggression for warrantless searches against citizens shown by law enforcement that I see in my practice. It appears that many of them do not even care about the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution, and pretend that front doors to homes do not mean anything. They even make traffic stops for no other purpose but to search "suspicious" vehicles.
We defense attorneys need to be zealous about defending the Fourth Amendment rights that belong to ALL of us-- they are a precious heritage from our Founding Fathers!

Do not hire
Do not hire this attorney unless you want to pay out money for nothing! He cost me an arm and a leg to represent my son for sentencing. I could have saved the thousands of dollars because the outcome of the sentencing was the same as if we had no lawyer. He is horrible when it comes to communicati...

Replied last November 27, 2019I am very sorry this case did not get a better result for your son. It is always an uphill battle to represent a client after they have been found guilty at jury trial and have a significant number of "sentencing points," but we try to do everything in our power to improve our chances with the judge at sentencing. I believe in this case we also filed a motion for judgment of acquittal notwithstanding the verdict, which may be useful for him in a potential appeal. I hope we can rebuild your confidence in us.

Averbuck Law
Mr. Averbuck was very personable and easy to approach with questions or concerns. So was his assistant Joeann. I felt I recieved admirable representation and would highly recommend Averbuck Law.

Knows the law!
Mr. Averbuck did a great job representing us when false accusations were made. He knew details in the law that got our case dismissed without even going to trial! His office staff was also friendly and personable.
