  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.

  3. Trademark infringement

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

    11 years

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.

Responsive and professional!
Gerry was very helpful in negotiating our fine. He was responsive and informative through the whole process and ultimately got the fine reduced to 15% of the original amount. He was even able to negotiate the payout term to 3 years. I would highly recommend him and would use him again if the needed.

Perfect attorney, A to Z
We have used Gerry several times over the past year. From trademark issues, to litigation issues for us and against us. He has handled our account in the most professional manner expected. His responses via email and by phone are not only timely, but informative and to the point. He is thorough and not only handled each of our situations for us, he guided us with experienced advice on how we should proceed. For us this was amazing as a lot of the situations that came across were new for us and we not only needed representation but someone who could advise our best options. An attorney is someone you hope you never need like a dr but when you do, Gerry is definitely worth speaking with.

Gerry was professional, meticulous, and always very prepared. He was readily available to answer all of my questions, and was always patient when explaining to me the legal jargon of the case. I appreciated his empathy and his commitment to always doing what was in the client's best interest. I would most certainly recommend Gerry without hesitation.

The best Lawyer
I felt that Gerry helped get the most that i could have gotten. One example is that when we were going to settle with the third party insurance Gerry contacted me to ask if I had on my policy had SUM ,which I did not know and he went out of his way to contact my agent to find out,and I did. I really feel that he went beyond the call of duty. I would use him again if needed and refer him to others.

Gerry Rocks
Gerry was great. Very patient and informative about the trademark we were registering. He trawled through many potential company names and gave solid advice throughout the whole process. His rate was fair and he was a pleasure to deal with. Would gladly use him again and would highly recommend him to those in need of a courteous yet ferocious lawyer.

Excellent and highly responsive to meet your individual needs
I had a case that involved a banking subpoena that could have been a very big headache. Gerry and his staff were able to walk me through the entire process and quash it in its entirety. The thing about Gerry that was I am most pleased is the time and manner he was able to respond to me when I had a question. It was lightning speed. I was very comforted to know that I had felt that a small case to him was handled very professionally and swiftly which in turn ended up saving me money and extra possible litigation costs. I rarely give out reviews on different services or people, but when I do, it must be for someone who has done exceptional work. Gerry and his staff have definitely proven that and I vouch for them when it comes to their work and the way the handle it with their clients.

Highly Recommend Life Insurance Litigation
I hired Mr. Grunsfeld to handle a life insurance claim on behalf of a family member's deceased estate. I found Mr. Grunsfeld to conduct himself in the most professional manner, with immediate and ongoing feedback, not usually the case with NY attorneys. This case could have easily turned into lengthy drawn out litigation, but with Mr. Grunsfeld's expertise and exceptionally competent grasp of the law, the case was settled considerably higher than our expectations, and with a swift and expedient check in the hands of the family. I highly recommend him and have the highest regard for his competency.

Debt Collection
My mother needed a lawyer to locate a former tenant and obtain back rent. Gerry was clear in his plan of action. Even when my mother and I thought Gerry would not be able to complete the assignment, Gerry maintained a positive view. He could have walked away with the retainer we gave him. Instead, he persisted and was able to locate the former tenant and obtain payment. Gerry never asked for any reimbursement other than the initially agreed upon sum. He was always courteous and accessible. I would not hesitate in recommending him.

Great Experience
What could have been a very complicated matter, turned out to be a straight forward and well handled case. Gerry was able to mediate a contract between us and the other party in a very delicate way. He took care of our needs and made sure to be equitable to all parties involved. He was diligent and persistent from the very beginning to the final resolution. I was very pleased with the way Gerry handled the case and would definitely use him again in the future.

Review of Gerald Grunsfeld, Esquire
Gerry provides fantastic service! He is extremely thorough in his service, and very knowledgeable. But what sets him apart is that he truly cares. Gerry is also very bright and sharp, possessing the kind of attributes you want to see in your attorney. He's a go-getter, but at the same time pleasant to work with. I give him the highest rating possible.

Very satisfied client.
Gerry was very helpful in a recent litigation that I was involved in. He kept me constantly informed & explained all of my different options. His advice proved to be excellent as the case against me was dismissed.
