Firm Focus and History
At the Law Offices of Peter R. Hubert, in San Jose, California, I engage in a diversified law practice dedicated to providing individuals and families throughout the Silicon Valley and San Francisco Bay areas with high quality legal representation and outstanding personal service.
I believe in taking care of the people who seek my help and in respecting each person as an individual, not just a case, and I have been doing so for over 30 years.
Previous Employment Summary
I have been in private practice my entire career.
Activities and Awards
From the late 1970's to the mid 1990's, I was on the Board of the Volunteers in Parole, Santa Clara County branch, (an organization that works with and mentors parolees from the California Youth Authority). Besides working one-on-one with his parolee(s), I also taught as a street law teacher at the California Youth Authority Correctional Institution in Ben Lomond, California for several years.
I have worked on several pro bono projects with the Santa Clara County Bar Association for many years. I was the President of the local B'nai B'rith lodge for three years and currently serve as a board member.
What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?
I think that client education is a good idea. Often, an educated client is able to ask more intelligent questions.
Are you willing to review documents prepared by clients?
Yes, depending on the circumstances.
Are you willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?
No.
Why did you decide to be a lawyer?
I thought I could help people in a meaningful way.
What work experience and education helps you be a better lawyer?
I worked in retail when I was younger, which taught me how to work with people and really understand the basics of customer service. As an attorney, I think one needs to have compassion and understanding for people when they have problems; you have to let clients open up and get out some issues that are very critical to them.
Why did you decide on your primary area of practice?
My practice just kind of evolved--it seemed to be something I was good at and I had a lot of client referrals within the realms of family and criminal law.
What do you like best about your career?
I like helping people to either continue on with their life or restart it and to go forward.
Tell us about your law firm:
I'm a sole practitioner, so I deal directly with my clients.
What are your strengths and style?
I am always willing to listen to my client.
I am truthful to clients, which means that I often have to tell a client something they need to hear but do not want to hear, but I am also the bearer of good tidings.
Personal Interests:
My personal interests are my family, two dogs, and the outdoors.
