This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Review of Alan Kabat, Esq.

I retained Mr. Kabat's firm to provide some guidance on an employment matter and I was very pleased with my experience. The firm got back to me quickly, and clearly outlined options for going forward. I decided to have an hour-long review of my options, and was given a realistic, succinct and thoro...ugh outline of my choices for going forward. I left this meeting confident of my ability to resolve my issue. I am a satisfied client indeed!

Avvo Rating

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.
