Ticket for speed and registration

Excellent work of the lawyer to solve my tickets since it was 3 fines, 1 for high speed, one for not having the registration and another for the tinting of the front glass, he managed to dismiss them all, recommended 100% excellent work and quick solution

Speeding citation

Stuck with me throughout the entire process and guided me on how to properly handle the situation would highly recommend for anyone with a speeding ticket or citation in Polk county. He definitely helped reassure me throughout the process, since it was my first time appearing in front of a judge.

Dismissed!

25 Over on the Parkway. Attorney Philip Averbuck apparently waved his magic wand, case dismissed. I don't know how he did it and I don't want to know, just want to say thank you to Mr. Averbuck and his staff for everything.

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!

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.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
