Worst lawyer ever

I paid him he did a mistake and didn't want to help me any more I had to hire another lawyer to fix his mistake. Please don't go with him he rushes though he just wants to. Close your case he doesn't care about his clients .

Great Divorce Lawyer

Mr. Kucaba fought hard to uncover all the assets that my ex was hiding. I ended up getting double what my ex first offered. Mr. Kucaba made sure all of our child 's cost where covered and split fairly. Mr. Kucaba also did a good job on my brother's DUI.

Would never hire this attorney again

Normally i would only write a review about a place or product in a positive view, and rarely write a negative comment. However, this place is the last attorneys office i would ever recommend to anyone. Instead of using professionalism and law, Mr. Kucaba uses his personal opinions and views on matt...ers. Mr Kucaba was rude, unprofessional, and was paid for a job he didnt do. My case was easy, the other party claimed to be owed over $16k when my professional accountant showed i owed nothing. Statements and receipts to prove all money paid. After being paid $3000, and a few contiuences asked for by the other attorney, Mr Kucaba wanted more money than the contract we signed was for. Start to finish is very clear. I pulled my file and hired another attorney to do the job the right way. In return Mr. kucaba sent back to me by mail a hateful, untrue and very unprofessional letter(which was sent into the appropriate people along with the judgement from court with my complaint) . The final judgement was in my favor, and the awful untrue statements made in the personal letter were shown untrue in court. Total waste of $3000 for NOTHING i had to pay another lawyer to do the job anyways.

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.
