Partner, Kreindler

 to discuss the complicated legal and practical issues involved in the administration of the Fund. The two hour closed-door meeting was comprehensive and productive.  

Noah Kushlefsky has advocated on behalf of 9/11 victims and their families for more than 16 years.  Many of Noah's clients have been diagnosed with cancer since workingat Ground Zero, and he undertook representing them after other law firms had turned these responders away because their illnesses were not then included in the Zadroga Act. However, additional illnesses and cancers have been added to the list of covered diagnoses, so later deadlines do exist and may be applicable based on the illness and other individual circumstances. It will be helpful to discuss your situation or a loved one’s specific illness with an expert attorney familiar with each of the different deadlines.
