Lawyers: Top Dogs Of The Professional-Managerial Classes, Shoeshine Boys To The Ruling Elite — Let Them Have Their Pathetic Expense Account Meals!*

The WTC insurance fund was meant to evade costly trials and out-of-control lawyers’ fees:

Lawyers and executives for the $1 billion World Trade Center insurance fund — who’ve already spent more than $100 million in overhead and legal fees — are also wining and dining with money meant for sick 9/11 responders, records show.

Invoices obtained by The Post show that high-paid lawyers and employees of the WTC Captive Insurance Co., a nonprofit governed by Mayor Bloomberg appointees, have tapped the federal fund for cocktails and gourmet dinners.

After a court hearing in Manhattan last year, when the city argued unsuccessfully to dismiss all claims by 9/11 responders, a top lawyer for the fund filed an expense report totaling $1,390 for “drinks and dinner.”

The June 23, 2006, tab submitted by Margaret Warner of the Washington, D.C., firm McDermott, Will & Emery included $138 for “cocktails” for six at Sir Harry’s, a plush bar inside the Waldorf-Astoria hotel. The dimly lit lounge, decorated with antique oil paintings, serves $8 Budweisers and highballs for $12 and up.

Warner billed another $342 to spend the night at the luxe Park Avenue hotel.
