    I've successfully handled thousands of DUI cases both as a DUI prosecutor and as a DUI defense lawyer.

My practice is limited to the field of Criminal Law/DUI law.  It is all that I do.  I've been practicing in the field of criminal law/DUI law for 15 years as both a prosecutor and a criminal defense attorney.  I've successfully handled all areas of criminal law ranging from minor traffic violations all the way up to capital murder/death penatly cases.  I'm passionate about The Constitution and refuse to believe that any constitutional violation is a mere "technicality."  Our system is dependent upon being fair and therefore any and all citizens accused of a crime simply MUST be represented by competent defense counsel in order for our system to work.

Miracle worker
When Mike Hubbard first got my case the state was wanting to send me to prison. Mike got my sales case dropped. He was excellent in communicating with me. Out of the 2 attorneys I've had he is the best.

Release for Probation Violation
I hired Mr. Hubbard to represent me in a probation violation. I was expecting to get anywhere from 30 - 45 days for the violation. On my 10th day my PO showed up and released me immediately. Mike is an amazing attorney and one of the most straight forward and ethical attorneys I know. I would strongly advise anyone with a criminal case in West Ga to hire him right away.

If you're looking for know how, compassion and ethics, look no further
There are a lot of jokes about lawyers usually focusing on their greed, lack of ethics  and general self serving attitudes. Attorney Michael Hubbard of Douglasville has recently  proven that popular opinion very wrong.  Mr. Hubbard first became acquainted with my son Michael when we consulted with him over an  issue arising during my son's senior year at high school.  My son Michael is identified as having a cognitive disability, ADHD and a expressive and receptive language disorder.  Fellow students targeted Mike and when bullied, my son stole some of their shoes from the gym.  Mr. Hubbard helped us resolve that issue fairly painlessly.  Since that time, my son Michael (yes, all these MIchaels gets confusing) would occasionally visit Mr. Hubbard socially.  The latest problem arose when my Michael  quit his long time job at a local grocery store and connected with some poor role models.  These individuals encouraged Michael to call the local sheriff's department and complain about a speeding ticket Michael had gotten. Unfortunately, Michael was encouraged to use very inappropriate language when making that complaint and told the receptionist at the sheriffs department, that he, Michael, was going to come there the next day and " beat her butt".   just to compound the problem, my Michael showed up at the sheriff's department the next day while wearing his tool belt with tools attached.  While no physical violence occurred, my Michael was charged with a felony.  This is when I contacted Mr. Hubbard for his help.  What make his services so exceptional was Mr. Hubbard put my Michael's needs first.  He understood that the incident was related to Michael's disability and not simply a result of  bad choices or a failure to accept responsibility for his actions.  Mr. Hubbard researched the law to find a balance between the legal issues and Michael's mental health issues. Throughout the whole ordeal, he treated me and Michael with compassion and a willingness to do what it takes to find the best result for my son.   He was willing to consult with his peers and with the mental health professionals to make sure that his plan was appropriate balancing  Michael's needs and the demands of the law. Mr. Hubbard was willing to work with me in every way possible and that is not a quality lawyers are generally noted for. His compassion, understanding and willingness to do what it takes should be recognized.  He is truly an example of what lawyers aspire to be.   I think this kind of ethic should be recognized

The G.O.A.T
My name is Herman, and all I can say is that Mike Hubbard is not only a GREAT lawyer, but him as a person is equally amazing. Character speaks volumes...and the way he counseled me, gave me wisdom, and encouraged me throughout the whole situation was more than AMAZING. If you ever need a lawyer, he is the one that will genuinely care about you as a person...as a human being. Thank you Mike, for your wisdom, knowledge, and encouragement. Some of the things you've shared with me, are things that I have internalized and have become a part of me. Again, I say thanks to you and your entire team. Be blessed.

Wonderful Legal Counsel
Very understanding and upfront counselor. Worked on a case for myself and family, and always respond to emails within 24 to 48 hours.

Hired
After three weeks of countless consultations, with some great knowledgeable smart lawyers, we finally hired Michael Hubbard as my son's criminal defense attorney. My son has some serious charges pending in Douglasville Ga and I, as a mother and he the arrestee, don't know much about how this system works so we are learning as we go. My son felt very comfortable speaking with Mr. Hubbard, his resume look good, his location, legal cases were pretty tight and with that and a small prayer, we know we made the right decision for my son representation. Thank you Mr Hubbard, we are looking forward to working with you.

Very pleased
I was in a car with another person and drugs were found in the car after we got pulled over. I hired Mr. Hubbard and he did a very good job. We had to go to court several times but the case did get dismissed. The other person in the car with me got convicted, but he had a public defender.

Very good lawyer
I was charged with a felony and a felony conviction would have caused me to lose my job of 18 years. I hired Mr. Hubbard and am very glad I did. Although it took a while, he got the felony reduced to a misdemeanor and I kept my job.

Mr. Hubbard works harder than any other attorney I know to ensure that his clients receive the best possible treatment and outcome to their pending cases. He never stops fighting for them. This is a man you want in your corner, trust me.

Highly recommend!
We recently hired Mr. Hubbard to help our daughter with a misdemeanor case. While we were scared for her, he reassured us repeatedly everything would work out. He took the time to listen to all of our concerns and answer all of our questions. He thoroughly explained what we could expect in court and we were exceptionally pleased with the outcome of our case, While I hope not to need the services of an attorney again in the future, I'm glad to know that Mike is there to help if the situation arises.

Miracle worker!!
I hired Mr. Hubbard to submit a parole plan for my son who was in prison with a TPM that was 54 months away. Mr. Hubbard submitted the plan and my son was approved for immediate release based on the 13 months he had already served. Everywhere I turned in my son's case we struck out, but Mr. Hubbard gave my son 41 months of his life back! As far as I am concerned Michael Hubbard is an angel from Heaven!

excellent litigator
Mike is very good in representing his clients. He is able to resolve cases, no matter how complex, in his client's favor by continuing to be diligent in finding ways to help his clients' cases.

He saved my life
He seems very honest and caring. He got me a much better deal than my first attorney.
Posted by Tim | April 21, 2010
Best service
Unfortunately, I've had the opportunity to work with several attorneys. Mr. Hubbard is the first that returned my calls after leaving only one message. He got me a much better result than I anticipated. He really knows how to work the case. If you have a criminal case in Douglas County or somewhere close to that, I'd suggest him.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have been practicing law out of Metro Atlanta for 35 years and have tried cases all over this country in State and Federal Court and I must say that my experiences working with Mike Hubbard were some of the most rewarding of my legal career. In every instance he was available to write, research, and argue in court with an understanding of the law that was invaluable. Moreover, the prosecutors and judges respected and gave deference to Mike when he presented legal precedent and participated in every aspect of the cases I have had the pleasure of working with him on. I highly endorse Mike Hubbard and would recommend him to any citizen in a situation where there liberty was at stake. I look forward to working with Mike again in the very near future. LDWolfe"

"I first met Michael years ago when I was a prosecutor and he was a defense attorney. Being on the other side I got a unique look at how well he advocates for his clients. Michael fought tirelessness and has a very careful methodical approach for finding and exposing weaknesses in the government's case. He made my job hard, but I respected him for it. He makes the government work and approaches cases in a way that many other lawyers wouldn't have thought about and this gets results for his clients. He is also very well respected in the community by prosecutors, judges, and fellow defense attorneys. Michael's excellent legal skills and well known professional reputation give him and edge that sets him apart."
