A job was carried out as expected

I was quite happy with the way my case was handled both by my lawyer and his assistant. He was very patient in explaining what he was going to do with the case and the information I gave him. Mr. Averbuck was very professional in his handling of my case and we came to an agreeable conclusion which ...in my opinion was the best decision. I talk this opportunity to say a very big thank you for your patience, service and professionalism. This is rated a9+.

Great defense lawyer

I highly recommend Mr. Averbuck. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Once I went in for my consultation he put my mind at ease in that stressful time. I explained my case and he clearly told me what he could do for me and I hired him. A little over a month later my case was dismissed. Awesome l...awyer and Awesome assistant always kept me updated and informed until it was over.

Very smart lawyer!!

My husband was arrested for domestic battery. He was never arrested before, we where not sure where to turn, Philip made us feel so much better, he explained the procedure and answered all of our questions, he was very patient and thorough, He also gave me advice 3 other lawyers I contacted didn’t, t...hat got my husband released without even spending the night in jail!! This was priceless to us. We are very happy to say our case was dismissed and we would recommend his services for any legal problem you have. Thanks again Joanne and Philip!!
