Firm
Profile:
Since
its founding as Rosen and
Jacobson in 1971, Jacobson,
Sobo & Moselle has evolved
into Florida's preeminent
collections law firm,
providing collections
throughout the state.
In
1971, Jim Jacobson and Errol
Rosen, two friends who had
worked together at a Hollywood
law firm, decided to set up
their own general practice
firm called Rosen and
Jacobson. (Jim lost the coin
toss.) Errol was responsible
for the real estate, wills,
and corporate practice, and
Jim was in charge of the
litigation practice and office
management. After a few years,
Jim was contacted by a
collection agency that had
been referred by one of his
clients. That client used the
collection agency for all of
its national collections
except South Florida, where
they insisted on using Jim's
firm. The agency wanted to
know what law lists the firm
was on so they could send
claims. At the time, Jim had
no idea what a law list or a
claim was. He got a copy of a
law list and contacted some
local collection
attorneys-including Ted Sobo-to
educate himself on a
collections practice.
Eventually, the firm became
listed on all the major law
lists and started receiving
claims from most of the major
collection agencies in the
country.
Over
the years, the practice
evolved from a general
practice firm into the
statewide collections law firm
it is today. Errol left to
work with a major real estate
developer, and the
transactional practice was
abandoned altogether. For some
20 years, Jim has concentrated
his firm's efforts solely on
collections. With Jim at the
helm, the firm underwent a few
name changes throughout the
years, but the focus always
remained the same. In 1997,
Justin came to work with his
father, and the firm name was
changed to the Jacobson Law
Group. Meanwhile, Ted Sobo's
daughter, Robin Sobo Moselle,
joined her father's firm,
which became Sobo, Levine
& Moselle.
In
2000, the Jacobson Law Group
merged with Sobo, Levine &
Moselle to form Jacobson, Sobo
& Moselle. With a combined
history of more than 60 years,
the firm can deliver what few
others even promise: Skilled
and experienced collection
attorneys, who get results.
