Testimonials

Ken worked at Goldman Sachs for 21 years. He was on his way to work when the first plane hit the World Trade Center. Like thousands of others, he was reassured by the federal government’s statement that the air was safe, and he returned to work. Years later, Ken collapsed at work and soon after was diagnosed with 9/11-related renal cell carcinoma. Ken turned to Barasch & McGarry for help.

I thought the Victim Compensation Fund and the health program were geared for firefighters and police officers, but I’m one of the victims, too. I proudly helped to reopen Goldman Sachs as a member of the team that restored IT and communications. I’m happy I chose Barasch & McGarry to help me get a fair award for my illness and lost income. I would never have gotten it done without them.

Victoria, a retired NYPD detective, spent months at Ground Zero documenting evidence that was recovered following the 9/11 attacks.

In so much devastation, she found a glimmer of hope. She met her future husband, Michael, in the ashes of 9/11. Thankfully, Victoria remains healthy, but like far too many 9/11 first responders, her husband tragically passed away.

Victoria implores everyone who was there on and after 9/11 to register with the World Trade Center Health Program and Victim Compensation Fund.

You owe it to yourself—you owe it to your family—to apply to these programs because they are there, and they are available. At least make the phone call. Call Barasch & McGarry to see if you qualify.

Yvonne, a professor at the Borough of Manhattan Community College, was teaching a class during the 9/11 attack and returned to work three weeks after. She didn’t realize that she was being exposed to serious toxins while she taught. Sixteen years later, Yvonne was diagnosed with 9/11-related breast cancer. At the time, she didn’t make the connection that her cancer could have been caused by breathing in the toxic dust. Thanks to the encouragement of a friend, she asked Barasch & McGarry to help her file a claim.

I feel incredibly blessed and honored to have had Michael Barasch and Lee London working on my case. These guys are not only superb attorneys, they are the most compassionate, caring individuals who truly care for their clients. They went above and beyond to help me get through the most difficult time in my life. I don’t know what I would have done without them; they truly are life savers. I strongly recommend Barasch & McGarry as the lawyers of choice to the 9/11 community. They will fight for the maximum compensation to which you are entitled.
