About Kent
Biography
Approximately 30 years ago, Attorney Kent Gubrud was first licensed to practice law, and he has enjoyed his lengthy career in law because it gives him an opportunity to help people who seek justice and fair treatment. Following graduation and earning his Juris Doctor Law degree from the University of Oregon’s School of Law in 1987, he immediately went to work for the Public Defender's Office in Portland Oregon serving others who needed his storehouse of knowledge about Criminal Defense, Civil Rights, Personal Injury and other legal problems. A couple of years later he went to work for a private law office and then opened up his own practice in 1991. He and his wife and son moved to New York in 2002 and has been practicing law here since.
