From Reluctant Lawyer to 9/11 Hero: Michael Barasch’s Journey & Advice for Lawyers
What if the defining case of your career was born from tragedy and changed everything?
Michael Barasch never planned to be a lawyer. But unexpected turns, relentless advocacy, and a deep personal connection to his clients turned him into one of the most recognized voices for both 9/11 first responders and civilian survivors.
As managing partner of Barasch & McGarry, Michael and his team have helped secure over $3 billion in compensation and lifetime healthcare for thousands of people through the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund — from firefighters and police officers to teachers, downtown residents, and families who lost loved ones.
