Chris Baione and his firm exemplifies all the best qualities of a top tier NYC attorney and law firm. They’re honest, professional, smart, efficient, diligent, and extremely fair to everyone. These qualities are inherently organic within the firm’s culture. Chris is a wonderful throwback to NYC’s past eras of high quality service, deeds, and results. He’s classy, respectful, kind, intelligent, street smart, proficient, and he works very hard. He’s down to earth, too, and did I also mention he’s a NYC lawyer? He’s returned calls to me at 7pm to 9pm, and emailed me back during the weekends. They work for you, and work very hard to win. This was not the case with my prior attorney before Chris. I began the VCF claim process in 2018. Time was working against me. I had contacted 20 of NYC’s VCF attorneys. I had worked in sales on Wall Street during the 80s & 90s, and was familiar with certain tendencies. Only 4 of 20 firms passed my lenient tests. None were the large & powerful 9-11 law firms. The large law firms all failed miserable. I was given bad VCF advice by lawyers and paralegals, outright lied to, a firm’s staff carelessly disclosed privy & personal client information to me, some lawyers only wanted easy slam dunk claims with 1 million plus reward potential, others wanted me to do all the grunt work before they would take my claim. Then they would submit my own hard work for me, and collect an easy 10% with no work being done. Think about the latter. One attorney that gave me the latter condition, called me multiple times to check my progress. Then they called and told me they had mailed correspondence to me but it came back, and wanted to know if I still intended to file my claim. When I returned their call, they couldn’t bother to speak with me, and had their paralegal regurgitate their words to me. The paralegal finally admitted no correpsondence was sent to me. Another lawyer that wanted me to do the work first, thought he was Gordon Gekko, and spoke to me as such. His VCF knowledge was weak and he was high-browed. He’s with a large law firm that is aggressively prospecting and advertising for new 9-11 clients everywhere. Other law firms sold my contact information. I was getting cold called by unknown lawyers, law firms, or con artists, non stop, at all hours. They had called my back up phone, and asked to speak with my alt name used to contact them. Busted. This is just some of the nonsense that I dealt with before Chris. Learn from my experience. The 9-11 VCF claims industry is brutal, vicious, ruthless, deceitful, and a minefield. You can lose a very solid claim because your lawyer was incompetent, really didn’t care to go all out for you, or works for a ‘cookie mold’ ‘one size fits all’ law firm, that just processes VCF claims en masse. They’re concerned only with their bottom line, not maximizing your award. Call multiple attorneys, and make sure that one of your calls is with Chis Baione. You will have everything to gain, and really nothing to lose by calling him. I’m confident that you will arrive at the same conclusions that I did, after meeting with him. My own VCF case was solid but old, and needed a competent lawyer with the resources and commitment to complete it. Lawyers had advised me it would go to appeal. Chris did too, so he and his team worked very hard to try to prevent this. They had succeeded. If you had already hired another attorney, and had received your award, it wouldn’t hurt to contact Chris to have him review your claim and reward. It’s possible that some award money was left behind. If this review helped you, and Chris helps to bring you some manner of justice from 9-11, as he has done for me, just pay it forward to other potential 9-11 victims, by steering them to Chris Baione and his law firm, Pitta and Baione. No one needs to be traumatized, or victimized again, when searching for an ethical, honest, and competent, 9-11 attorney, after having to suffer through and dealing with 9-11-01.
Working with both Christopher and Matthew Baione was a pleasure. They are professional, compassionate and keep client's interest first. Pitta & Baione is a first class firm! I highly recommend their services. Thanks again for all of your help!
Chris Baione is not only intelligent he’s kind and endearing he treats his clients with warmth and sincerity the kind you can’t fake it’s the kind that comes with the right upbringing and genuinely a beautiful heart. Anyone who knows him is truly blessed to have him in their lives whether personally Or professionally. My family and I highly recommend Chris and his firm/family for all your legal needs. They are truly outstanding!!!!
I am a retired firefighter who was injured as a result of the 9-11 attacks. Chris has been a very caring lawyer, who has walked with me every step of the way. His professionalism really stood out and there was always a followup from Chris concerning everything that came up.
When I was referred to Chris I was so jaded. I had a lawyer I could not reach and getting any kind of information from the entire group as to my Zadroga case. Being a 9/11 rescuer has its demons and health wise it attacked me again so why should I feel victimized by my lawyers? That's exactly how I felt until I spoke with Chris. He gave a damn, he listened, he was available and when I left messages, he answered promptly. I got straight answers, not lip service. I will forever be grateful to him and his firm for helping me and treating me like a human being. I have recommended him to others and will continue to do so.
Mr. Baione is a great attorney, always responded to any questions or problems promptly, with information and solutions that put fears to rest. He is thorough and detail oriented, and leaves nothing to chance. I feel very secure and safe with his abilities.
When Chris said he would call you, HE DID. He listen to you. He ask a lot of questions, then call back and ask did you mean this or that. In my life I have hired a lot of lawyers, Chirs is up there with the best of them. Thanks Chris.
Chris helped me with my Zadroga case that has been dragging since 2011. I can write all day long and it still won’t be enough to praise how dedicated and fair this attorney is. Chris is selfless, he fights to fair and just, he fights for what is right. Chris was very reassuring during our initial consultation and his office made me feel very at ease with the whole process. I received updates as and when necessary so I knew where I stood the entire time. I would not hesitate to use Chris's profound expertise again should I need further assistance in the future. Chris is your man!
I am writing to express my deep appreciation for Mr. Christopher Baione, attorney with Turley Hansen & Partners. Chris was a blessing, I lost my husband in 2014 due to Lung Cancer from 911, losing my husband was devastating to me and my daughter, it has changed our lives forever. Mr. Baione understood my pain, he showed extreme empathy for my situation and made the process of filing a claim with the VCF seamless. He showed competency and professionalism in his expertise of VCF claims. He was extremely thorough with his follow up, he always kept me abreast of all new developments with regards to my case. I’d like to thank Chris from the bottom of my heart for all his hard work and experience that he possesses. I can’t change the fact that I no longer have my husband and my daughter no longer has her Dad, but because of Chris’s dedication to my case, I know my husband would be elated to know that his family was compensated and I won’t have to struggle for the rest of my life. I would highly recommend Chris, he’s awesome. I’d also like to express my sincerely appreciation for other members of the firm, my entire experience with this law firm was tremendous. Lorie
This young man never promised me or told me something he could do. Unless he could get it done , That's number one being that's unusual in your field. Always responded quickly to my multiple questions and I would recommend your firm if the get Chris as they're attorney!
