A Litigation Boutique
The Bear Firm represents individuals and businesses in criminal, commercial, tax, and entertainment matters — with thirty years of trial work behind every decision and a negotiator's discipline at every table.
The Bear Firm was built on a single conviction: the best outcomes — in a courtroom or across a conference table — belong to the side that is genuinely prepared to try the case. Every matter we accept is prepared that way from the first day.
From offices in New York, Washington, Miami, and Philadelphia, the firm defends criminal prosecutions, tries business and construction disputes, resolves tax controversies, and protects artists and producers in entertainment matters. Some situations call for quiet diplomacy. Others call for the bear. Knowing the difference is the work of thirty years.
