Our founder, Israel Bernstein, didn’t take “No” for an answer because he heard it too often himself. When others closed doors to him because of his religious affiliation, he built his own firm—one rooted in opportunity, fairness, and belonging. The son of poor Jewish immigrants, Israel believed in creating a place where people were judged by their integrity, not their identity.
That same spirit drives us today: advocating for what’s right, serving our clients and communities with passion and conviction, and creating a place where courage, decency, and fairness aren’t just values…they’re how we do business.
