On this day of remembrance, I reflect on the lives of the people and families I was honored to represent before the September 11th Victims Compensation Fund. I represented the family of Wai Ching-Chung, a 36 year old man who had moved to Brooklyn to care for his aging parents and who worked at a UBS office in New Jersey. His daily commute took him to the transportation hub beneath the World Trade Center. Even more devastating, the family also lost a granddaughter/niece. Twenty two year old Maurita Tam had recently graduated college and started her job in finance only a month before. I also represented a woman who had also just started working in the World Trade Center. But fate allowed her to survive the attack.
