 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experienced Attorney<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Litigator<\/em><\/strong>:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Jacobson has practiced civil litigation law in California since 1988. Much of that practice has been spent litigating complex cases. These cases often have hundreds of parties, and a host of cutting-edge legal issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Jacobson\u2019s experience and knowledge of litigation enables him to deftly handle the most difficult of situations to reach highly successful results for his clients. But frankly, it is Mr. Jacobson\u2019s scholarly and deep knowledge of California contract law that separates him from the pack. He puts this knowledge into practical use, protecting his clients time after time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*** Multi-party, complex litigation;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*** Heavy trial experience;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*** Attorney fees obtained from opposition;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*** When defending clients, many, many<\/em> settlements for ZERO<\/u> dollars;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*** Expert on California contract law<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is just a sample of Mr. Jacobson’s litigation experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insurance Regulation<\/em><\/strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2006 Congressman John Garamendi (when he was California\u2019s Insurance Commissioner) appointed Mr. Jacobson to the Board of Governors of the California Insurance Guarantee Association (\u201cCIGA\u201d). In his role as a Governor of CIGA Mr. Jacobson has worked closely with Governor Jerry Brown (when the Governor was Attorney General), Congressman Lou Correa (then a State Senator and a member of the Banking, Finance, and Insurance Committee), and the Department of Insurance\u2019s Legal Department, on matters of insurance regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a Governor of CIGA Mr. Jacobson achieved important legislative and administrative changes that have enhanced the health of California\u2019s insurance industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Jacobson was able to use his sound business-attorney knowledge and judgment in this post, to regulate the accountancy profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judge Pro Tem Panel<\/em><\/strong><\/em>:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Jacobson has volunteered as a Judge Pro Tem for the Orange County Superior Court, where he sat as a trial judge in Small Claims and Traffic trials. This allowed the Court\u2019s permanent judges to better allocate their time, while giving Small Claims and Traffic litigants the benefit of Mr. Jacobson\u2019s experience and knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honorary Degree<\/em>:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2003 Pacific West College of Law awarded Mr. Jacobson an Honorary Juris Doctor Degree in recognition of Mr. Jacobson\u2019s many contributions to the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Law Professor:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Mr. Jacobson has been a full-time attorney for all of his career, for almost all of his career he has also taught law in the evenings and on weekends as an Adjunct Professor of Law. Mr. Jacobson believes that society benefits when new generations of lawyers are well-educated. After teaching at a few different schools, in 1997 Mr. Jacobson found his academic home at Pacific West College of Law. He was on the Adjunct faculty from 1997 until April of 2023, when the school closed its doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
