Matt Baione is a true professional who cares.

Matt was recommended by the Detectives Endowment Association and it’s a recommendation that I’m glad I took and one I would pass on to my brother and sister Detectives. I can’t thank Matt enough for all that he’s done helping me get through this very difficult process. I dreaded making the initial ca...ll, even though I got sick through no fault of my own. I just dreaded the thought of the whole process but once I spoke to Matt he put me at ease and walked me through it. Matt always got back to me. No matter how many calls or emails, Matt tried his best to resolve the questions I had. I can’t thank Matt enough for the hard work that he did for our family with our claim and would recommend him to anyone else who finds themselves with a WTC illness. Thank you Matt.

The best!!!!

In all honesty I was always intimidated by attorneys I felt they always spoke down to people because of how educated they are. What some lack is people skills something that education does not provide. It wasn’t until I met Mr Mathew Baione that my outlook all changed. Mathew and his entire firm with... his partner Chris have exceeded the utmost in sincerity, respect, kindness, intelligence,dignity and professionalism. Dealing with cancer and other major illnesses is an uphill battle. Mathew and firm has made the battle for my family a lot less painful. And for that and more we thank them.

Great Law Firm

After being diagnosed with cancer, I went through surgery and radiation treatment within a 3 month time frame. That left me feeling very overwhelmed. It was emotionally and physically impossible for me to submit a claim with the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. Fortunately a good friend recommended Pit...ta & Baione. Not only was Matthew Baione able to expedite my claim, he also gave sound advice and explained the process clearly. He always returned calls and emails whenever I had questions about my case. His staff is very courteous and professional. I appreciated that I was able to submit signatures and documents online (that was a major plus for me). I highly recommend this attorney.

Top-notch, professional, personalized service - highly recommend!

Matthew was my attorney for a complex and sensitive 9/11 VCF case. From the moment I had my initial consultation with him to the completion of the case, he instilled confidence and was extremely patient, kind, respectful, and responsive. We had ongoing communication throughout, and he handled my cas...e personally; unlike other firms, he, as a partner of the firm, handled the case directly. He was careful and thoughtful with his strategy on how to handle the case, and the end result was the best settlement award I could have hoped for. Matthew is wise beyond his years. Highly recommend him and his firm.

Excellent

Matthew is extremely professional and informative and explained every step in the process of my claim. He is detail oriented and very knowledgeable of the 911 Compensation process. I find him to be personable, very easy to interact with and he makes himself available whenever needed. Extremely happy ...that I hired him and would not hesitate to recommend him or his firm to anyone.
