Broward Chief Circuit Judge Victor Tobin is leaving the bench to go into foreclosure law, ending four years as chief judge in which he tackled the circuit’s tarnished image, dealt with the foreclosure crisis and fought to replace a crumbling courthouse.

Tobin notified fellow judges by email Tuesday that he would be leaving at the end of June to start work July 1 at the Law Offices of Marshall C. Watson, one of Florida’s biggest foreclosure law firms. Circuit Judge Peter Weinstein succeeds him as chief judge July 1.
