One of the Best in the business!!

Mr. Kubat was referred to me and came highly recommended, now I know why. Very professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. Always followed up anytime I reached out and addressed any concerns I had with a solution, nothing surprised him! Walked me through the entire process start to finish with ease.... Very pleasant to work with... One of the best in the business, hands down. Thank you.

Professional, clear, patient, kind, and effective

The title almost says it all. Dave guided my spouse and I through our bankruptcy case. It is by no means a stress free process, but along the way I had Dave's guidance and reassurance. Throughout the process, Dave helped me understand what was needed of me, and what to expect. Dave was availab...le when my work hours didn't allow me to reach him during the usual 9-5 time frame. Most of all, Dave treated me with respect. During a process that already doesn't feel the best, his professional manner let me focus on what I could do, rather than feeling helpless.

David is THE BEST!

David Khubat was outstanding in many areas of my already difficult and stressful time. It's hard enough to go through financial hardship and he is compassionate from the start. In any process you have to provide the info and from there he handled everything and i was not stressed anymore. He is comm...unicative and knows what he is doing. He represented me very well and put my mind at ease. The best

David Kubat is excellent!

I was referred to David Kubat by an attorney friend of mine, and i am truly grateful. Dealing with the passing of my wife and the medical bills incurred was a very heavy burden. David was kind and supportive throughout. He answered all my questions concisely and in a timely manner. I have recently re...ceived my discharge and thank David for making the whole process as smooth as it could be. I would strongly recommend anyone facing bankruptcy to contact David Kubat.

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.
