About Gerald

The most important thing in the world to me is my family. The second most important thing is my law firm and our clients.

 

I work crazy hours, and am thinking about my cases virtually 24/7. My pet peeve is people who do not respond to phone calls or messages so I never go to sleep without returning every e-mail or call received.

 

I definitely think outside the box, and I embrace modern technology to receive the best possible results for my clients at the best possible cost.

 

I specialize in Medical Malpractice and Trademark litigation. This is an unusual combination- I doubt there are more than a handful of attorneys in NY who specialize in these two areas. What they have in common is that require the ability to cut through the haze of complex litigation to achieve results.

 

I always try the path of least resistance first. But when I have to be, I aggressively advocate for my clients.

 

 

Practice areas

  1. Medical malpractice: 50%

    I spent the first 11 years of my career defending medical malpractice cases, before switching to representing plaintiffs. During my time on the defense side, I developed close relationships with risk managers, insurance adjusters, defense attorneys and judges. I also learned how to destroy a Plaintiff's case. Now I represent Plaintiffs, and ensure my clients do not fall into these traps. Our firm does not get paid until you get paid, so I do everything in my power to get my clients paid ASAP.

    21 years, 250 cases

  2. Personal injury: 25%

    I spent the first 11 years of my career defending personal injury cases, before switching to representing plaintiffs. During my time on the defense side, I developed close relationships with risk managers, insurance adjusters, defense attorneys and judges. I also learned how to destroy a Plaintiff's case. Now I represent Plaintiffs, and ensure my clients do not fall into these traps. Our firm does not get paid until you get paid, so I do everything in my power to get my clients paid ASAP.

    21 years, 250 cases

  3. Trademark infringement: 25%

    I represent both Defendants and Plaintiffs in many high profile trademark litigation cases that have resulted in numerous reported decisions in my favor.

    Lawyer Timothy Dean Henkel

    Timothy Henkel, Lawsuits and disputes Attorney on Oct 4, 2019
    Relationship: Worked together on matter

    I endorse Gerry both as a co-counsel as well as a top tier litigator who would be a trustworthy counsel for any business client. I worked cooperatively with Gerry on a matter for one of his clients. Gerry was a strong advocate for his client's position, was always cost conscious, and extremely easy to work with as a colleague. I welcome the opportunity to work with him in the future and recommend him.

    Mr. Grunsfeld is a bright, articulate detail oriented attorney. Mr. Grunsfeld' takes the time to focus and dedicate all his effort into studying all facets of the matters he is engaged to undertake. Mr. Grunsfeld dedicates the required time and effort to the details of each file and utilizes his keen sense of awareness as to the strenghts and weakneses of a file so as to best maximize his Clients potential on each matter. The effort Mr. Grunsfled expends into working each file are bar none. Mr.Grunsfeld's dedication to the needs of his Clients and his passion to zelously represent and protect their interests surpass expections on a regular basis. I highly recommend Mr. Grunsfled for the Client who is interestd in a 100% success rate on his/her file.
