Turken & Heath LLP

What Turken & Heath LLP does

Turken, Heath and McCauley, LLP is a privately held New York limited liability partnership operating as a boutique law firm from its headquarters in Armonk (Westchester County) and a secondary office at 41 Madison Avenue in Manhattan. The firm's practice is concentrated on representation of September 11th Victim Compensation Fund claimants — first responders, recovery workers, volunteers, and Downtown Manhattan civilian survivors pursuing compensation for 9/11-related injuries and illnesses — through a dedicated sub-brand and microsite called 9/11 Outreach (911outreach.com). The firm also offers ancillary general legal services including risk counseling, litigation, negotiation, mediation, and trial preparation, though 9/11 VCF representation is the clearly emphasized core offering.

The firm is led by Principal Partner Jason D. Turken, Managing/Principal Partner Matthew J. McCauley, and Partner Regina Munster, who personally serves as the primary appeals drafter for the practice and brings direct experience as a 9/11 EMT/paramedic first responder. The 9/11 Claims & Benefits Practice is supported by Of Counsel Christine Champey, Director of People and Firm Operations Ramya Mathur, Director of 9/11 Outreach & Education Jeannie Kelly (retired NYPD), a claims supervisor, a PI team lead, and approximately ten additional claims specialists. Revenue is generated through professional service fees for legal representation; specific fee structures are not publicly disclosed. There are no institutional investors, parent entities, or external capital backing disclosed in the source data, and the firm operates as an independent partner-owned practice with no funding rounds, acquisitions, or public listings on record.
