Working Since Day One.

Attorney Noah Kushlefsky

Attorney Noah Kushlefsky has advocated on behalf of 9/11 victims and their families since September 11, 2001. He has been described by the VCF's first special master Sheila Birnbaum as being influential in the development of the methodology for the original Victim Compensation Fund, also known as VCF1. To date, Noah has helped recover over $4 billion for victims of the terror attacks and those killed or injured during the rescue and recovery at Ground Zero.

Common Questions

The dedicated 9/11 VCF team at Kreindler is ready to help answer any questions you might have.

How do I know if my cancer or other illness is related to 9/11?

If you were present in the exposure zone during or after 9/11 and have developed a covered condition, you may be eligible. Our experienced team can help determine if your condition qualifies under the VCF guidelines.

Am I eligible for money from the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund?

You may be eligible if you were present in the NYC exposure zone, the Pentagon site, or the Shanksville, PA crash site between September 11, 2001 and May 30, 2002, and have been diagnosed with a World Trade Center Health Program certified condition.

When is the deadline to file a claim?

There are two deadlines in the VCF’s claim filing process: a Claim Filing Deadline and a Registration Deadline. It is important to distinguish between the two and be aware of the specific deadlines that apply based on your individual circumstances.

Do I need my diagnosis date?

While having your diagnosis date is helpful, you can still start the process without it. Our team will help you gather all necessary documentation to support your claim.

What does it cost to work with Kreindler & Kreindler?

We offer free case evaluations and work on a contingency basis, meaning you don't pay unless we recover compensation for you. Attorney fees are capped by the VCF at 10% and we cannot charge for other expenses on top of that.
