HomeBlog9/11 Lawyers for Lawyers

The events of 9/11 had a profound effect on everyone whose lives they touched and continue to impact our world today. Even though 18 years have passed since that day, tens of thousands of individuals still suffer illnesses as a result of being exposed to the toxic dust and smoke that enveloped the city in the aftermath of the attacks. As such, 9/11-related issues continue to pop up, often in unexpected places. When those issues come up in the legal field, attorneys often turn to a 9/11 lawyer at Pitta & Baione for assistance.

Highly Experienced in 9/11 Victims’ Law

The 9/11 lawyers at Pitta & Baione have a reputation for detail-oriented, tireless, and empathetic advocacy on behalf of our clients. Our reviews speak volumes about our firm ethos and style of practice. Managing partner Vincent F. Pitta has been representing hardworking Americans for over 40 years from the boardroom to the courtroom and beyond. After 9/11 he helped families of victims seek justice against Saudi Arabia, liaison with families to develop a proper memorial to their lost loved ones in Lower Manhattan, and guided labor unions through the economic downturn and upheaval that followed. Partner Vito R. Pitta‘s first job was volunteering at the Twin Towers Fund where he helped to distribute donations to 9/11 victims. Now a 9/11 lawyer and lobbyist, he combines legal know-how with legislative advocacy to help not only Pitta & Baione clients but the entire 9/11 community. Partner Christopher J. Baione has been a 9/11 lawyer since admission to the bar- devoting his entire legal career to representing victims seeking compensation from the VCF and health benefits from the WTCHP. Partner Matthew J. Baione applies a background in litigation to VCF advocacy.

The depth and breadth of our experience in all aspects of 9/11 victims’ law, including the Victim Compensation Fund (VCF) and World Trade Center Health Program (WTCHP), is unmatched.
