Smarmy

Hired by a dead beat couple to rip my aging dying mother and step father in a nursing home off. While dying of cancer and totally out of her mind on narcotic pain killers Bear got mother to make a will and sign documents giving the dead beats full power of attorney. Bear also tried securing mother's... husband (who was in a nursing home) checks.. Finally the county stepped in. Kicked the dead beats out and paid the nursing home..Once funds were cut off from the dead beats and the heat was on Bear dropped them as clients.

a poor choice

This attorney was hired by my father to handle his estate to be divided by 5 children. I am one of the five. A sibling was executor and seemed to be the only person Mr. Bear represented, and was very slow to make contact when needed. Most phone calls went un-returned. Mr. Bear took over two year...s to finalize the estate and ignored request by any one other than executor. He also pushed through a signed agreement which had been altered to make corrections to its content before signing, making it NOT a mutual agreement among all parties and ignored any attempts made to amend or void that agreement based on that fact. Served only the executor and made things easy for himself. My Dad would be furious, the end result was one beneficiary receiving 60% and the rest divided equally among the other 4. It was suppose to be as equal as possible among all five.
