Colleen L. Hubbs

At Hubbs Law, we help families in our community create a thoughtful estate plan that ensures their hard-earned assets are passed on to the people they care about, allowing them to avoid the burdensome and often painful probate process.

My passion for estate planning stems from a deeply personal experience with my own family. After my grandmother passed away in 2004, my mother, along with her siblings, found themselves in conflict over sentimental items that held significant emotional value. Despite there being little monetary wealth involved, these disputes caused lasting rifts—some of my aunts and uncles still don’t speak to one another over twenty years later. I witnessed firsthand the pain this caused my mother, and it fueled my commitment to helping families avoid similar conflicts during a time of grief.

Another pivotal moment in my early legal career further solidified my focus on estate planning. I was involved in a tragic case where both parents and one child in a family were killed in a car accident, leaving their surviving child without any clear direction on who should care for him. Without a plan, the decision went to a judge unfamiliar with their family, which resulted in bitter disputes among relatives over guardianship. This experience made it clear that every parent needs to have a plan in place to protect the future of their children.

I hold a Bachelor of Science degree from Purdue University, where my initial passion was to work for NASA. However, after my graduation and a stint in the automotive industry focusing on paint development, I discovered my true calling in law, specifically in helping families directly. After attending Michigan State University College of Law, I knew I wanted to guide families through critical decisions about their legacies.

Along the way, I met my husband and law partner, Andrew Hubbs. Together, we opened our own law practice, dedicated to creating a welcoming environment where our clients feel like family—rather than just another case.

As a proud mother of three, I cherish my time with my family. Our oldest son, Alex, is studying at Michigan State University with aspirations of becoming an attorney. Our middle child, Jacob, is at the University of Michigan (yes, we are a house-divided!), while our daughter, Allison, is busy with high school. Our three playful golden retrievers complete our family, and we love visiting our sons at college and cheering on our daughter in her volleyball games.

If you or your family want to ensure your wishes are clearly laid out and respected after your passing, I invite you to contact me. Together, we can create an estate plan that reflects your values and secures the future of your loved ones.
