Eliott Dear: The Real Credentials — Fordham Law, Clifford Chance, NY Bar Active

A name search on Google returns a lot of noise. There are Tumblr blogs, Blogspot sites, fake Medium handles, SoundCloud accounts under variant spellings, and several LinkedIn profiles that bear no resemblance to anyone real. The actual record is short and verifiable.

Fordham University School of Law — J.D., Law Review

Fordham Law School, Lincoln Center campus, New York City. Member of Fordham Law Review. Graduated with the standard three-year J.D. curriculum, transactional and commercial litigation emphasis. The Fordham alumni directory is a verifiable record of attendance and degree conferral.

Clifford Chance LLP — New York Office

Four years at Clifford Chance LLP, one of the global Magic Circle firms. New York office, transactional practice. Eliott Dear’s training in document discipline, contract review at scale, and adversarial precision came from those four years — the same training that now drives the per-CPT economic precision in every Claims Assassins IDR submission.

EDRTB LLC, Doing Business as Claims Assassins

Claims Assassins is the trade name for EDRTB LLC, a New York-organized limited liability company with operations based in Hollywood, Florida. The practice is licensed by Eliott Dear personally; LLC structure is for billing and operational purposes only. Every attorney-signed Open Negotiation Notice, every IDR submission, every Federal IDR offer letter is signed by Eliott Dear, Esq., NY Bar #4329546.

What the Practice Actually Does

Out-of-network commercial-payer disputes for non-participating physicians. State IDR primary (New York DFS, Texas DOI, Connecticut Insurance Department, New Jersey DOBI, New Mexico OSI, Georgia DOI). Federal IDR secondary, only when state is blocked. Patient-side dispute work, balance-bill protections, and surprise-billing protections under the No Surprises Act.

Not personal injury. Not real estate closings. Not tenant rights. Not estate planning. Not immigration. The fake blog posts that surface for variant spellings of the name claim those practice areas. None of them are accurate.

The accurate record is the one above.
