Faber and Brand

What Faber and Brand does

Faber and Brand LLC is a multi-state debt collection and subrogation law firm founded in 1998 and headquartered in Columbia, Missouri. The firm provides legal representation to creditors across nine states — Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Virginia — in commercial collections, medical debt recovery, retail/consumer collections, purchased debt portfolio enforcement, judgment execution, and insurance subrogation matters. Its core differentiator is a licensed-attorney delivery model that bundles pre-litigation mediation, litigation, and post-judgment recovery under one roof, supplemented by a proprietary skip tracing waterfall process used to locate debtors and convert unresolved judgments into realized outcomes.

The firm's revenue model is professional services billing on a contract/quote basis to enterprise clients in financial services, healthcare, insurance, retail/consumer finance, and the debt-buying sector. Client acquisition is primarily referral-driven, fueled by attorneys' leadership roles in the National Creditors Bar Association, Missouri Creditors Bar, state bar associations, and industry bodies such as ACA International, NASP, and RMAi. The technology stack is intentionally lean: a third-party secure consumer payment portal (PayWeb360), a live chat platform (Provana iconnect247), and an HR system (Paylocity) — with no disclosed AI or proprietary software beyond the skip tracing process.

Operational scale is mid-market, with 51–100 employees, a partner-led C-suite (CEO Joy N. Jackson, CFO Jason P. Gubbins, COO Jon L. Shoener), and a roster of state managers covering each licensed jurisdiction. The firm demonstrates long employee tenure and internal promotion patterns, with multiple partners serving 15–20+ years. No institutional funding, M&A activity, or parent-company relationship is disclosed; ownership appears distributed among the senior partnership.
