Victims Compensation Fund Case
As if it wouldn't be bad enough to lose a loved one in the 9/11 tragedy, imagine suffering that loss and then having an attorney demand $2 million from you for representation before the federally-established Victims Compensation Fund--a no-fault fund designed to make assisting those with claims receive adequate compensation. That's what happened to one 9/11 widow and she fought back. She hired Simmons, Jannace & Stagg to argue against the attorney's action. In waht is apparently the first federal court decision involving the fund and the issue of attorney fees, Simmons, Jannace and Stagg have successfully stayed the lawyer's efforts to collect the $2 million.
