Biography
James Steiner is a Supervising Attorney for Barasch & McGarry’s 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund (VCF) practice.
James was born in New York City and raised in South Florida. After earning his Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Central Florida, he returned to Manhattan to begin his legal career at New York Law School. While there, James worked pro bono on the Uncontested Divorce Project, assisting litigants in Uncontested Divorce matters in New York City’s Supreme Courts. James also interned at a boutique real estate firm where he helped represent clients in residential and commercial landlord/tenant disputes.
Shortly after earning his degree from New York Law School, James joined the law firm of Barasch & McGarry where his practice is focused on representing severely injured members of the 9/11 community. James has worked tirelessly to recover millions of dollars on his clients’ behalf, and takes great pride in knowing that his finely tuned understanding of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund ensures that each of his clients receives the maximum compensation available by law.
James is a member of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association as well as the New York County Lawyers’ Association.
