A very biased judge. The only thing missing is a black pointed hat to go with her black robe.

Hon. Kim Hubbard was AMAZING! Her handling of case was extraordinary. And I say that as she did not make a decision for or against us. Merely that she found away get us through the logger jam at the Orange County Courthouse. Little progress was made and she weighed in. She was tough, yet fair, compassionate, understanding and did her homework and read the case! While every involved in the estate had an attorney but me (I was In Pro Per) she was fair to the case. The court system benefited from Judge Hubbard's talents and experience as jurist and someone who really understand probate and the BS other who throw stuff at the court.

She encourages the use of an evidence of an "evidence portal" that had no warning of being for only 2 courtrooms; which goes against courtroom protocol; then she and her clerk allow a delivery of physical evidence; but cries like a baby with a wet diaper when you keep your scheduled appointment for the physical delivery. [Redacted by Ed.] In my case there has never been a filing of administration of the trust! The Wertz's run the courts as Wertheimer; use a 4 open loan scheme to do mortgaged backed securities on PEOPLE to ACQUIRE your home in their murder PONZI; they USED their own mother, their banks, and the attorney's and judges for the scheme that is taking down our country. A scheme offered to me in 1997 by family. Hubbard allows documents to be filed, then UNFILED; allowing the opposition to file a case against you when the original complaint had been filed. The murder scheme of covid related as the Wertz's used their own mother as a Ventilator Manufacturer (datex-engstrom) and a trustor to all the mortgage loans (suffich-engstrom aka American Securities). They use trusts of the duped person in their scheme to hide properties they will allocate to judges as Mr. Wertz "david cunningham" of brandywine and eddie trump, pseudonyms as he creates phony trusts of you as wells fargo to steal and take properties for the highest bidder and anyone playing a part in the scheme. Happy to hear she is retiring; but from documents profered, there are many more judges taking part in this Ponzi of property theft; that incorporates people as property; using people for life insurance fraud; and securities; a truly sick organization over all; harming so many! The first line to the scheme "Attorney's, Dr.s, Judges, and leaders in their industry all get into this sick banking Ponzi for free" where everyone as to throw in a family member to the Wertz death Ponzi to take part in their CA EV Code 1040 banking Ponzi run within the courts.

The Orange County Probate department will be much better off when Judge Hubbard retires this summer. She has no control over her temper, doesn't read the pleadings or know what is before her and simply does not belong on the bench.

Judge Hubbard is hostile, impatient, and would rather insult the attorneys and litigants in her courtroom than move cases toward resolution. She's always been unpleasant but has become far worse in the past year or two. Undoubtedly worthy of your 170.6.

So far almost all the judges have been amazingly Grand. Hon. Kim Hubbard WAS MOST AMAZING! She was FAIR, compassionate, understanding AND I BELIEVE SHE READ THE CASE!!! We were Pro Per, My son wrote all docs. He is Asperger's and only has apx. 25% of his vision. We didn't disclose my youngests Autism & C.F. nor my other son being Deaf. I believe she was fully unaware. WE WERE ALL ABSOLUTELY BLESSED! We didn't win what we wanted.. but I believe we won SO MUCH MORE! Time will Tell!!

She is consistently cranky and refuses to let you speak even though you could clear the one probate note in 60 seconds or less. Therefore, the hearing is continued. Sometimes probate notes cannot be cleared with a document. And with the work load of the probate examiners, they often do not issue probate notes until it is too late to file a responsive/correcting document. What a waste of resources. She needs to be removed from the bench asap!

Biased and uninterested in the rights of the weak. She did not apply the law but pulled by opinion regardless of the evidence.

Comments:
Judge Hubbard is unprepared, does not know her calendar or cases and is condescending towards attorneys and pro pers. She is particularly intolerant of pro pers who do not understand the system and those who unfortunately are not technologically sufficient and struggle with the remote hearing procedures. Judge Hubbard portrays unreasonable hostility towards attorneys and parties, comes across as angry with the world, and ready to snap at any point.

I really felt this judge had a terrible temper and zero patience in the court room. She passed over very important details of the case and was very degrading to all parties involved. Skip her...not worth the headache. Unless you have a very expensive lawyer who is very good, skip her. She's awful.

Judge Hubbard is basically a smart and moral judge but can't control her temper. It affects her rulings on evidentiary objections and is very disruptive. She thinks nothing of insulting and denigrating attorneys. She is somewhat better with pro per parties, although still condescending. Often she is so focused on her rage that she is missing important details of the case. While I have never seen focus on anger affect her judgment, I would not be surprised if it has or does in the future. I would steer clear if you can, she's too volatile and unpredictable.
