José M. (Joe) Rubio

Because of his vast subject matter knowledge and involvement at every stage of litigation, Joe gives clients what they want and need most—judgment. He recognizes when a quick settlement is best for the business and when a trial is the only way to enforce or defend the client's interests.

As a junior lawyer, Joe's insurance defense and transportation-related claims gave him early access to the courtroom and trial work. He litigated cases with successful results in San Antonio, Laredo, Zapata County, and other parts of South Texas, a region traditionally unfriendly to defendants. Because of this boots-on-the-ground experience and fluency in Spanish, Joe is a valuable resource to Dykema teams representing clients in South Texas courts.

Growing up in a family of lawyers, Joe saw firsthand that a law degree could provide him opportunities to solve people's problems. He still feels that way—if someone he knows has a legal problem, he wants to be their first call regardless of the issue.
