About Russell D.
Russell D. Jacobson is a California lawyer who earned his J.D. from Santa Clara University School of Law in 1994. He completed his legal studies in the early 1990s and began practicing in California soon after. His legal education at Santa Clara provided a foundation in both litigation and transactional subjects commonly covered at that law school.
Jacobson's career has remained centered in California. He began practicing law in the mid-1990s and has maintained a steady presence in the state's legal community. Over the years he has worked in private practice and collaborated with other attorneys on a range of matters. Colleagues describe him as steady and pragmatic in the way he approaches a file and in client conversations.
He joined Rucka, O Boyle, Lombardo & McKenna, where he works alongside other attorneys handling matters for clients in the region. At the firm he contributes to case preparation, client counseling and courtroom work as needed. He has handled pleadings, motions and client meetings, and he participates in the day-to-day management of matters assigned to him.
Jacobson's practice reflects long-term familiarity with California procedures and court settings. He is comfortable in state courts and with administrative processes that commonly arise in state-regulated matters. He takes a methodical approach to research and advocacy, relying on precedent and practical considerations when advising clients.
Outside the courtroom, Jacobson has been involved in the routine demands of law practice: drafting complex documents, negotiating settlements and coordinating with expert witnesses when cases require them. He balances written advocacy with in-person representation. That combination is part of the work he performs for businesses and individuals who retain the firm.
In recent years he has continued to concentrate his efforts at Rucka, O Boyle, Lombardo & McKenna, maintaining an active caseload and providing counsel to clients on matters arising under California law. His current practice focuses on advising and representing clients in matters governed by California statutes and court procedures.
