Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association
With over fifty (50) years of legal experience, and offices in the Bronx and the iconic Woolworth Building located in lower Manhattan, Queller, Fisher, Washor, Fuchs & Kool and The Law Office Of William A.

Over the years, we have represented thousands within the law enforcement community who have sustained injury, both on and off the job. We have represented hundreds of Correction Officers and guided them through the process from inception. We obtain all benefits required under the law and, due to our experience in dealing with members of law enforcement, we are completely familiar with disability, and three-quarter (¾) pension rights.
