Sidrah Syed

Sidrah has dedicated her entire professional legal career to the 9/11 community by advocating on behalf of claimants to the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund (VCF). Starting with an internship in 2014 at Hansen & Rosasco, LLP while attending law school, Sidrah continued to support the 9/11 community throughout her law school career, and as an attorney after her admission to the New York State bar in 2017. 

Sidrah is relentless and exhaustive in her approach, providing each client with tailored and comprehensive support throughout the claim process. She has prepared and submitted Personal Injury and Wrongful Death claims for 9/11 survivors and responders, and has argued complex appeals on denials for eligibility and award determinations. Throughout her career, she has successfully obtained multiple compensation awards ranging from $1 million to $3 million.

Claimants to the 9/11 VCF have described Sidrah as "always responsive, well prepared, and deeply knowledgeable about the legal process", as well as "a pleasure to work with," and "a gem," with a "sincere and personal concern [for the client]". 

Sidrah graduated from New York University with a B.A. in Political Science, and earned her Juris Doctor from Rutgers Law School.
