Walsh PARTNER swalsh@vladeck.com Tel: (212) 403-7300 Fax: 212-221-3172 V-Card Susan J. Walsh is a trial lawyer who represents individuals in employment and criminal defense cases, often against large corporations or the government. She balances a fierce defense against formidable adversaries with a keen sensitivity to her clients’ experiences. Susan understands that clients dealing with litigation face a challenging ordeal and deserve to be met with compassion, empathy and strength. Having tried dozens of cases, Susan knows how to build or deconstruct a case and argue winning positions in the courtroom. Equally as important, Susan’s experience as a skilled appellate writer allows her to effectively apply the law to a trial. Highly regarded by her peers, Susan receives the majority of her employment matters through referrals from other colleagues in the criminal defense bar. They know her work and judgment, and trust her with their clients and friends seeking employment representation. Former adversaries in criminal defense or employment litigation also refer clients to Susan, sometimes even after she has bested them in a matter. Courtroom professionals, judges and other members of the bar know Susan by reputation. For a trial lawyer, credibility means everything – no matter the area of practice. Susan is highly engaged in bar association activities, and her involvement helps to shape both her practice and the law. She believes strongly that every professional should engage in on-going legal reform, and has devoted a significant amount of her professional career to that end. Susan has held leadership positions in local and state bar associations, and devoted time to changing 4th Amendment privacy law on the state and national levels through her amicus (friend of the court) legal work. Of all of her professional accomplishments, Susan maintains that her greatest satisfaction comes from the note or holiday card from a former client who has successfully moved on from their legal challenges and is now thriving in life. Having lived and worked abroad prior to law school, Susan has a keen appreciation of our American legal system, the strength in the diversity of our American culture, and the understanding that our institutions are not invulnerable. These experiences guide her in her practice, and in her commitment to defending the constitutional rights of every person in the courtroom, the workplace, or at large in society.
