	Bernard Kerik being sued for allegedly stiffing law firm
		Kerik retained the powerhouse firm - one of the largest in the country - in 2005, soon after his nomination to head the Department of Homeland Security fizzled and as authorities investigated his ties to a contractor with alleged links to the mob.

		Kerik last year pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors for accepting more than $165,000 in free renovations to a Bronx apartment while he was the city's correction commissioner.
