(Bern) primarily practices environmental and natural resource litigation with the San Carlos Apache Tribe’s Department of Justice. Before joining the Tribe in 2024, Bern was a shareholder with Mesch Clark Rothschild in Tucson, where he practiced construction litigation and appeals. Bern clerked with the Honorable Peter J.

Although fast for a lawyer, it turns out that lawyers are slower than other professionals.
