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+.

Best lawyer in town

Mr. Averbuck did exactly what he said he would do. He was dedicated on point, and very professional. He took me out of one of the most difficult situations are for my entire life, and completely flipped it around to where I no longer have to worry about anything. His administrative assistant, Joanne ...was easy to work with very professional and efficient. I highly recommend his services.

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.
