I pride myself on providing a superior client experience. A teacher at heart, I take the time to make sure that clients both are educated about their options while providing a no pressure atmosphere that allows clients the space and time to make important decisions. I obtained a Bachelor's degree from Hofstra University in 2002 while Majoring in Finance. In 2005, I obtained a J.D. from Brooklyn Law School with a concentration in Trusts and Estates and Tax law. In 2010, I received a Masters of Law (LL.M.) in Taxation from New York Law School.
Prior to relocating to Upstate New York, I worked and lived in Manhattan spending six years at the New York office of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan, LLP.
My areas of expertise include Trusts and Estates Law, Elder Law, Real Estate Law and Matrimonial Law.

Daniel Glaser, Unknown Attorney on Feb 26, 2018
Relationship: Worked together on matter
David Kubikian is my go-to attorney for all matters, regardless if simple or complex, related to Elder Law, Estate Planning, Medicare and Medicaid. His knowledge on the subject matter is exceptional but more importantly, I refer him because treats clients with the utmost respect and compassion. He’s dedicated to helping clients and making a positive difference in their lives.
Tammy Arquette, Estate planning Attorney on Feb 9, 2018
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I have known David Kubikian for several years, and I have worked with him on several cases. David is a highly respected elder law attorney. He delivers outstanding service to his clients, and he has substantial expertise and knowledge in the all aspects of elder law. I can and do highly recommend David for elder law, estate planning and special needs planning matters in and around the capital district.
John Fazzio, Estate planning Attorney on Jan 12, 2013
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I would give David my highest recommendation. David is an excellent attorney with white-shoe law firm credentials, but he is a common-sense nuts-and-bolts guy who looks out for his clients. He is the kind of guy you could have a beer with. David does not "over-lawyer" -- he will listen to his client's concerns and use the law to achieve their desired goals. David has a wide birth of experience, but if you have an estate planning issue or a real estate deal you need help with, you could not do better than to get David Kubikian on your team.
