Extraordinary

Julian kept me focused when I thought all was lost. He kept me in the fight when I reached exhaustion. In the end, he led my family to a win. Julian is a leader. He is experienced, focused, prepared, thoughtful, poised and clear thinking. He is able to articulate problems and solutions in a sophis...ticated, yet understandable manner. His understanding of human nature is impressive. Julian cares about his clients emotional state as well, understanding the stresses involved in family legal matters. He knows how to get you reengaged and remember what you are fighting for.

Masterful in the Courtroom!

Julian Hubbard has represented me for almost two years in my Family Law matter, and turned my case around. I came to Julian in the summer of 2016, with very serious concerns. The Court had appointed a Minor's Counsel who felt that I should have only weekend and holiday visitation with my children, ...and who was pandering to my ex-husband (violating a host of laws, rules, and ethics pertaining to Minor's Counsels while doing so). Nevertheless, as a result of the Minor's Counsel and his position against me, my ex-husband was awarded majority timeshare, to the detriment of our two children. Mr. Hubbard then came on board, and over the objection of both my ex-husband and the Minor's Counsel, he was able to convince the Court that we may need a change in custody. He was then able to convince a very prominent Santa Clara County child custody evaluator that my timeshare should increase to 50-50, also over the objection of the Minor's Counsel and my ex-husband. Shortly thereafter, (1) the custody evaluator issued a report recommending 50-50 timeshare; (2) the Court ordered 50-50 timeshare at a hearing based on that report; and (3) the Minor's Counsel resigned on the spot at that hearing, never to be heard from in the case again. For those readers who are unfamiliar with Family Court, it is practically impossible to remove a Court-appointed professional such as Minor's Counsel from a case. Yet, Mr. Hubbard succeeded in doing just that: Minor's Counsel resigned on the spot, realizing he had been defeated by Mr. Hubbard! This is all because Mr. Hubbard has a bit of that "magic touch." He is masterful in his presentation, both before the Court and with Court-appointed professionals who can wield tremendous power over child custody. When I told a very prominent attorney I know that Mr. Hubbard was representing me, he called him a "guru," and I believe this to be true. I am a professional holding multiple licenses in the same industry as Mr. Hubbard, working with families and children in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties, and he is a family law attorney I consistently recommend to my clients if they want thorough, honest, and effective representation. As counsel, I have never seen him be vicious or mean, nor does he create more conflict in a case, rather he resolves conflict, which is instrumental to the benefit of children involved in custody disputes. He can see all sides to a case, and he will not hesitate to tell you if you are going down the wrong path, so that you can correct your course. Quite simply, he gets the job done... A++.

Trusted advisor.

Julian Hubbard is an exceptional lawyer who elegantly instills trust and comfort when I am faced with a legal matter. Regardless of the day or time, I trust that he will return my call for assistance in a timely manner and will provide the legal advice I seek. Mr. Hubbard is especially gifted in un...derstanding the psychological components of legal issues and has provided reasonable, strategic support that is invaluable. He is spot-on in conveying confidence during potentially difficult legal conflicts, and his exceptional skills—and sense of legal timing have frequently allowed me to circumvent potential negative pitfalls. In my profession as a psychotherapist, I may be faced with complex legal and ethical situations, in which accurate legal advice is essential. During the past ten years, I have come to rely on the professional advice from Mr. Hubbard and, therefore, offer my experienced recommendation for his legal services.

Exemplary service and an honorable man

Julian Hubbard was recommended to me by three other psychotherapists (who did not know each other). It is important in our profession to have an attorney who really intimately understands what therapists do. Julian does. He is impeccable in his word. His strategies account for all possibilities. Juli...an is able to provide experienced, reliable counsel that helped me sleep better at night. Julian assisted me with writing/responding to complicated legal letters, advised me in situations related to dangerous clients, reviewed my charts/records, and spent hours coaching to prepare me when I needed to speak. He was available to me on weekends and charged a fair price. At times, he has donated his services when assisting a non-profit. When your career and livelihood is on the line, you need the most experienced attorney possible. Julian Hubbard stands out as an extraordinary leader in his field thanks to his honor, integrity, skill and many years of experience. If you are a psychotherapist seeking the best possible attorney to represent you, look no further. Julian Hubbard is not only the right choice, he is the best possible choice you could make.

Excellent Lawyer regarding medical and psychotherapy cases

I recently worked with Mr. Hubbard on a medical malpractice case and he was excellent. His insight and strategic thinking as well as his detailed knowledge of medical and psychotherapy issues was invaluable on the case. I highly recommend him for those types of cases and imagine that his skill set ...is also transferable to other cases. It is clear in working with him that he is razor sharp, and a good person to have in your corner regarding legal matters, and he is also will treat you with fairly, and with understanding and kindness.
