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.
Practice areas
I defend any and all alleged criminal violations in the State of Georgia ranging from minor traffic cases all the way up to capital murder/death penalty cases.
20 years, 4,000 cases
I've successfully handled thousands of DUI cases both as a DUI prosecutor and as a DUI defense lawyer.
20 years, 1,000 cases

Relationship: Worked together on matter
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 fully endorse Mike Hubbard in the area of criminal defense. I have known Mike for over a decade, been on the opposite of him in cases, and tried cases with him. He is hands down one the very best lawyers I know, As I have told him many times, if one of my my own sons were to get in trouble, I would feel 100 percent comfortable with Mike representing him. Class act.

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.

Mike is simply an outstanding, gifted, and hard working criminal defense lawyer. I have known Mike for years and, without reservation, trust his analytical and courtroom skills. Although I handle injury cases, a great many people rely on me to refer them to the best attorney possible to handle their case in all areas of law, including criminal defense. Mike is one of a select few criminal defense lawyers in Douglas County and the surrounding counties that I would hire. I regularly send people to go see Mike. I feel comfortable saying this having observed him in court and seeing his work for years.

Mike and I began practicing law around the same time in a really tough jurisdiction. Mike is one of the most candid and honest members of the Bar that I have ever met. When he says something, prosecutors and judges listen! I have worked with Mike on several matters over the years and each time I came away learning something new. Mike has a calm and caring demeanor that serves him and his clients well. Mike works tirelessly for his clients and is one of the "go-to" attorneys in Douglas County and in West Georgia. I highly endorse Mike and you will do well to have him in your corner!
