Kunstler and Kuby never formalized a partnership with a contract or tax filings. Despite a letterhead that read “Kunstler and Kuby”, Kuby was paid as an employee and never shared in the firm’s profits and losses. On this basis Kuby was denied ownership rights to the firm’s case files, accounts, and name after Kunstler died, and Kunstler’s widow, Margaret Ratner, put her late husband’s archives under lock and key. Kuby filed a complaint against her with the attorney disciplinary committee; the committee dismissed the complaint in August 1996. In December 1996, a court case brought by Ratner to restrain Kuby from using the name “Kunstler & Kuby” resulted in Kuby’s being denied any rights in the Kunstler firm.

Kuby defended Raphael Golb, the son of a biblical scholar. Golb had sent emails wherein he impersonated critics of his father’s and falsely admitted committing various defamatory acts, including academic fraud; he was arrested in 2009. Charged with multiple felonies and misdemeanors, Golb was convicted at trial and appealed to New York’s Supreme Court, which affirmed the charges. Golb then appealed to the New York Court of Appeals, the highest court in New York City. They dismissed some of Golb’s convictions, such as identify theft and aggravated harassment (striking down the latter as unconstitutionally vague and overbroad), but they upheld others, including criminal impersonation and forgery.
