Attorney Referrals
At Pitta & Baione LLP, we value the power of professional collaboration. While we are nationally recognized for our leadership in 9/11-related claims, we also serve clients in trusts and estates, elder law, Surrogate’s Court proceedings, personal injury, and government benefits planning.
We know legal issues rarely exist in isolation.
That’s why we’ve developed a robust referral network – to ensure every client receives specialized attention, and every referring attorney receives a timely and fair participation fee.
