Pitta & Baione LLP Partner Matthew Baione Selected as 2019 Super Lawyers

Founding partner Matthew J. Baione has been selected to the 2019 New York Metro Super Lawyers Rising Stars list. Each year, no more than 5% of the lawyers in the state of New York are selected by the research team at Super Lawyers to receive this honor. Matthew has earned this distinction through Super Lawyer’s multiphase selection process that involves independent research and peer nominations as well as 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement, including verdicts/settlements, transactions, experience, honors and awards, and education.

Matthew J. Baione is an internationally recognized 9/11 victims’ compensation attorney. In addition to being a founding partner of Pitta & Baione LLP, he is also the youngest principal attorney of any 9/11 compensation firm in the country. Matthew manages the firm’s appellate practice and exigent circumstances division. In his appellate practice, he applies his background in litigation to fight for justice on behalf of his clients, which often requires him to appear in appellate hearings to establish eligibility for 9/11-related conditions, prove sufficient exposure to 9/11 toxins, and explain lost earnings. As the manager of the firm’s exigent circumstances division, Matthew represents clients with the most urgent needs, such as those suffering from severe illnesses or who are experiencing extreme financial hardship. Just a few of his successes include awards of over $3 million for a financial executive suffering from metastatic brain cancer; over $1.7 million for a disabled court reporter battling brain cancer; and over $1.1 for a disabled Local 94 operating engineer suffering from late-stage pulmonary fibrosis.

Congratulations to Matthew for this well-deserved recognition of their tireless and dedicated work on behalf of his clients!
