Lawyers for the 9/11 Community
For us, 9/11 couldn’t be more personal.
We were there, we breathed the same toxic air, we’ve lost colleagues, and we fight everyday to ensure every person affected by 9/11 gets the care and compensation they need and deserve.

We are the leading law firm fighting for 9/11 victims in Washington and across all 50 states.
Our advocacy directly led to the establishment and expansion of the two key programs supporting 9/11 victims:

9/11 Victim Compensation Fund (VCF)
Over $17 billion set aside to directly compensate 9/11 victims who have fallen ill or died from over 69 cancers and illnesses.

World Trade Center Health Program (WTCHP)
Nationwide lifetime health care available at no-cost for those who were in the exposure zone on 9/11 or in the aftermath.
You deserve compensation & no-cost health care. You don’t have to navigate this alone.
