Getting First Responders the Compensation and Care They Deserve

If you were a first responder, of any kind, who rushed to the Twin Towers at the news of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks – we thank you. Your acts of courage, heroism, and great sacrifice for the safety and care for others will never be forgotten.

On behalf of New York City, and the country as a whole – we are eternally grateful to you brave men and women.

We Have Met Thousands of 9/11 First Responders

Our attorneys represent only 9/11 first responders and survivors. We have met with thousands of these first responders and have heard firsthand accounts of the sight that was September 11, 2001 – a true horror.

For many, we know that the horror on 9/11 and the days after were just the beginning of a lifetime of misery, with many first responders getting very sick – years after their service.

Many individuals and families of first responders are still living out this horror to this very day – and we are here to help.
