If your having trouble finding a good Lawyer, look no further, You found one right here!!!

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. Just recently I needed Him to represent me at my firs...t appearance.I called Him at the last minute.We talked about my situation, and monday morning He was there and at a reasonable rate too! I couldn't say enough nice things about Mr.Averbuck. You'd be missing out if you didn't atleast give him a try..: )

He's the BEST OF THE BEST

My driver license is revoked for life for drinking and driving. I got caught driving and was facing a year and a day in the Polk County Jail. I decided to hire Mr. Philip Averbuck. I live over an hour away from Polk County and can't drive so I signed a waiver of appearance and let him handle it all. ...When I finally had to make an appearance in court, the state offered me 4 months in jail with fines and court cost. He didn't accept it. Approximately a month had passed and he called me to tell me he had gotten it reduced to no jail time, six months probation and 50 hours of community service but I'd have to come down there to do it. I was hoping I could get it all transferred up to here but I wasn't going to press the issue, but Averbuck knowing I didn't have a license or car, obviously worked on my case even more and when I went back to court for the sentencing, he got it knocked down to still no jail time, six months unsupervised probation that I can mail the payments in to them including early release after I pay off everything and able to buy out half of my community service and serve the other half up here where I live. I was extremely happy with this outcome. Not only is Mr. Averbuck a very friendly and likable person, He Likes To Win and he does!
