Attorney Hubbard’s formidable legal skills were forged through a rich and diverse set of experiences. She gained an invaluable insider’s perspective on prosecutorial strategies during her time as an employee of the Massachusetts Middle District Attorney’s Office, where she contributed to murder, sexual assault, and child abuse cases. This was complemented by early courtroom experience as a 3:03 student prosecutor. Before dedicating her practice entirely to criminal defense, she negotiated complex business contracts for celebrity entertainers, athletes, and agents in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, honing her negotiation skills to a fine edge. This unique background, combining prosecutorial insight with high-stakes negotiation, gives her a distinct advantage in dismantling the prosecution’s case and fighting for her clients’ freedom.
