about us
9/11 Lawyers Fighting For Our Neighbors
Founded by lawyers with roots in Little Italy, Pitta & Baione LLP is dedicated to fighting for New Yorkers who are still suffering the consequences of simply living and working south of Houston Street in the months after 9/11. Our neighbors were lied to and told the air was safe to breathe, and now they’re battling cancer and other serious illnesses because of it. We don’t think that’s right. Our 9/11 lawyers fight every day to ensure that justice is served and ALL of 9/11’s victims are properly compensated for the harm they suffered.
We Fight Here.
We work and live in the same neighborhoods as our clients and understand their struggles like only a neighbor can. Our firm headquarters are located in the heart of Lower Manhattan, and our staff and clients are a representation of the culture melting pot we are proud to call home. We prioritize our ability to service clients in the language they feel most comfortable communicating in, including Mandarin, Cantonese, and Taishanese. We aren’t lawyers for the 9/11 community—we’re 9/11 community lawyers.
our promise
The events of September 11th are permanently etched on our city’s skyline, our nation’s history, and the lives of countless Americans who still live with the health consequences of that tragic day. Our law firm doesn’t have cases, it has clients, and we do whatever it takes to help them. Whether it’s pursuing fair compensation and health resources for a 9/11 injury claim or taking our fight to the U.S. Capitol to ensure our legislators continue supporting 9/11 survivors, we promise to never forget.
When we take on your case, it becomes our own. When we give you our word, we keep it.
