What
People Are Saying About
Trial Lawyers Care, Inc.
"I
want to tell you how grateful I am to the New
York State Bar Association, the Bar Association
of the city of New York, The New York County lawyer's
association, and the New York State Trial Lawyer's
Association. All four have contributed lawyers
free of charge to do this, not only are they doing
it free of charge, but the last several days they've
gone through training to do this because this
is not something many lawyers do that often as
you would expect, and we have over five hundred
lawyers that have volunteered to do this so that's
really a wonderful piece of public service and
a very sensitive and good, really wonderful thing
to do."
- New York City Mayor, Rudolph Guiliani
"I
commend private practice lawyers, including attorneys
from the Association of Trial Lawyers of America-New
Jersey, who have stepped forward to provide free
legal help during this time of crisis. They, along
with the National association and other state
trial lawyer associations have created Trial Lawyers
Care, Inc., a new non-profit corporation which
will provide access to free legal services to
all the September 11th terrorist attack victims
who are eligible and choose to make claims under
the federal September 11th Victim Compensation
Fund."
