Barasch & McGarry, Lawyers for the 9/11 Community is located in New York, New York and serves clients throughout the entire NY metropolitan area, including former New York residents who have since relocated to other states and volunteers who came to NY to help in the WTC rescue and recovery efforts.... Barasch & McGarry was proud to join forces with 9/11 advocates, including comedian Jon Stewart, to successfully lobby Congress for the Permanent Authorization of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund (VCF). The VCF has been extended 72 years, to 1994. Claimants may file new or amended claims for the next 72 years. The VCF is required to pay claimants the full amount of their award. Those claimants whose awards were cut by the Special Master because of insufficient funding (after February, 2019), will be made whole as soon as new funding is available at the end of 2019 or beginning of 2020. The bill was passed in the House on July 12, 2019 (H.R.1327), and the Senate on July 23, 2019 (S.546). With the company's office just steps from Ground Zero, the company witnessed the pain of the 9/11 attacks first-hand. Many in the company's office have since developed 9/11-related illnesses and some have passed away. The company felt the impact that day and continue to feel it today. The company will never stop fighting for victims and families in the 9/11 community. No one has filed more claims with the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund or helped more people enroll in the free World Trade Center Health Care program. You can count on a reliable case assessment and a smooth filing process. The company is the sole law firm that has advocated for the rights of the 9/11 community from the very start making numerous trips to Washington to successfully lobby Congress for all those exposed to the toxic dust from the September 11th attacks.
