BOB LABUDA & BROWN & JACOB LTD - FRAUD ALERT Bob LaBuda represents himself as an Illinois Attorney and HE IS NOT A LICENSED OR REGISTERED ATTORNEY Schaumburg Illinois
I was contacted by Bob Labuda with the Law Firm Brown & Jacobs who stated to me that he was retained by Roanoke Insurance Group in Schaumburg, Illinois to collect a debt for a temporary Import Bond that was arranged by a Logistic Company that handled the Import of a Truck into the United States from Canada. This Temporary Import Bond which was issued on our behalf which we never saw a copy of or even signed was issued by Roanoke Inssurance Group. Roanoke Insurance Group retained Bob Labuda as their Attorney to handle this matter. Bob Labuda is a very threatening and unethical individual who represented himself to me as an Illinois Attorney and he stated to me that Roanoke Insurance Group paid him a retailer to represent them in this case and after my last conversation with him, I called and spoke with the Illinois Registration and Disciplinary Commission in Illinois and neither Bob Labuda or Brown & Jacobs LTD are registered lawyers in the State of Illinois. Bob Labuda is a very threatening individual and during several of the conversations he threatened me and my family members. I asked Bob Labuda to send me a copy of this Temporary Import Bond (TIB) and he refused to send it and told me I was liable for the Bond that was issued. The Bond has time restraints that we were not aware of nor did we ever see the actual Bond that was issued. We did import or drive the vehicle which we did not own into the USA from Canada but non of the paperwork that we filled ou stated any time restraints on getting the vehicle back to Canada. I agreed to a settlement and immediately got a Cashiers Check payable to Bob Labuda law firm and agreed to a settlement with Three Payments. I also asked for a agreement which would be signed by his law firm, Roanoke Insurance Group and our Company that stated that when the three payements were made this matter was resolved permanently. Bob Labuda stated he would send it and never did. I didn't think I was being unreasonable. Bob Labuda says one thing then sends threatening e-mails and phone calls and doesn't follow thru with what was origianlly discussed among the parties.
Consumers and businesses doing business in Illinois beware that Bob Labuda, he is NOT an Attorney as he represents himself as and neither is his law form Brown & Jabobs LTD. They are an Accounts Receivable Firm or debt Collector and they falsely represent who they actually are to Consumers and Businesses as in my case. As far as I am concerned this Bob Labuda is a con artist and is a FRAUD and so is the company that he works for. Beware of doing business with Bob Labuda or Brown & Jabobs, LTD of Schaumburg, Illinois.

Dear Mr. Fischer,
I contacted you in an effort to facilitate closure on behalf of Roanoke Insurance Group for monies they remitted in good faith on behalf of Digital Merchandising Solutions, Inc., to US Customs and Border in the amount of $14,911.28. Digital Merchandising Solutions, Inc., was forced into dissolution by the Illinois Secretary of State however, you are still operating the same business effective today, negating any protection which would be offered by the "corporate veil" essentially turning the business into a sole proprietorship. If this occurs you may become personally liable for any debts incurred by the former entity.
Both US Customs and Roanoke had attempted to obtain your cooperation of which you ignored their every effort. This in turn forced Roanoke to assume additional costs by referring the file to Brown & Joseph for third party collection efforts. I had reached out to you beginning this past July in an effort to resolve this matter amicably on Roanoke’s behalf. I offered you the options of forwarding documentation which would support your reasons for withholding payment, which you never provided and offered you options at resolving this in a favorable manner. After granting you the benefit of the doubt, I went back to Roanoke who subsequently agreed to negate approximately half of the balance due, accepting your settlement proposal. You have made multiple commitments claiming you have sent payment to both my office and Roanoke, none of which ever came to fruition.
Furthermore, at no point in time did I indicate that I was an attorney nor claim Brown & Joseph, Ltd., not Jacob as you erroneously labeled in this work of fiction, was in fact a Law Firm. However, Brown & Joseph is a leader in the commercial collection industry. We deeply value each one of our respective client’s and conduct our affairs on their behalf in professional, diligent and ethical fashion; and we deliver results.
Kindly contact my office Monday, the 10th of November to discuss the above in an effort to bring closure to this long overdue matter.
Lastly, you are hereby requested to retract this report which is libelous and without merit immediately.
Regards,
