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.

Compasionate, Understanding, and Very Competent

David assisted me in a time that was very stressful with several personal changes going on in my life including financial issues. He was very caring and took the time to explain the procedures and what was needed by me paper document-wise. During the whole time, he kept me up to date on the legal pro...ceedings and was very calming during the day at court. He assisted me until the completion of my BK. Very thorough with his work and responsive to my calls and emails.

Mr. Kubat was great throughout our difficult case.

We had an extremley complicated case. I don't know how he put up with all the crazy situations that occurerd! He always returned my calls and emails promptly and set my mind at ease when at times it appeared everything was about to fall apart. He is professional and easy to talk to. I highly recomme...nd him.

Posted by anonymous | October 24, 2012 | Bankruptcy & Debt

He was always very prompt and knowledgeable with our questions and concerns during a very difficult time.

He was extremely responsive to all of our questions. The only problem we had was the timing of the actual bankruptcy filing, we had not been notified our case had been filed....it caused a significant financial hardship, but he worked hard to remedy the situation for us.

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.
