History The firm was founded in 1958 by Harry Spar, one of the original members of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, and concentrated initially on United States immigration law. Over the years, The Law Offices of Spar & Bernstein, P.C. excelled — handling all phases of immigration, including permanent residence, green cards, corporate immigration, family immigration, violations of immigration law, work, training and investor visas, and deportation defense. As its success grew, the firm expanded its practice to include a world-class focus on personal injury, family law, divorce, tax relief, criminal defense, legal ethics and professional responsibility. Today, we’re known as Law Offices of Spar & Bernstein, P.C., and we are a thriving, full-service law firm bringing a history of having helped more than 70,000 individual clients to a broadening array of legal services available to both individuals and corporate clients. A Rich Tradition of Diversity Diversity is one of our firm’s core assets, and not just something we list on our website. Part of what differentiates our firm is our philosophy on diversity. In fact, the success we’ve achieved comes from having promoted diversity in every facet of our work. Our different backgrounds, family cultures, and life experiences allow us to create a better experience for our clients and a better choice for individual and corporate clients who recognize the importance of a culturally diverse environment. Our clients come from all over the world, and we come from all over the world. We speak a multitude of languages.
