Practice Areas: Litigation
Susan Van Gelder concentrates her practice in the areas of toxic tort litigation, product liability litigation, and general litigation, maintaining a primary focus on defending complex asbestos cases. With nearly 15 years’ experience representing manufacturers of asbestos-containing equipment and component parts in lawsuits spanning the Northeast, Susan uses her deep well of practical knowledge of asbestos litigation to develop tailored defense strategies, ensure consistency in representation, and find expedited paths to resolution.. Susan has handled thousands of asbestos cases over the course of her career — hands-on experience that translates into relationships with the country’s foremost experts and a proven ability to find the right witnesses (oftentimes, decades after the initial exposure) to best defend her clients’ interests. One of the hallmarks of Susan’s proactive approach to asbestos litigation is her ability to isolate what works — or what doesn’t work — in a given matter and apply it, where appropriate, over time. Indeed, Susan builds cumulative defense strategies that ultimately help clients better anticipate legal costs and, where possible, avoid protracted litigation.. In addition to asbestos litigation, Susan represents clients involved in exposure to silica, lead paint, and other toxic materials and substances. She also handles matters involving professional liability, municipal law, general negligence, and premises liability. She has extensive appellate experience, having successfully argued appeals before New York's intermediate Appellate Courts and the New York Court of Appeals. She has also successfully tried cases to verdict.. Susan writes about asbestos litigation for Goldberg Segalla's award-winning Asbestos Case Tracker, which was recently named to the ABA Journal's prestigious Blawg 100 and named the Best Litigation Blog for 2016 by the Expert Institute in its annual legal blog contest.

I've been a practicing lawyer for 37 years, specializing in all areas of civil litigation. I enjoy working personally with my clients; I don't have paralegals who do that for me. All communications involving a case are between my clients and me, personally; my staff is involved only in clerical work and scheduling matters, and things like that. I try to be available at all reasonable times, and I answer all questions to the best of my ability.. I pride myselfl on my ethics. If I don't feel that I can handle a case and do right by my client - such as tax and patent cases - I'll refer the client to other attorneys I'm sure can handle the matter professionally and with expertise. If I don't believe that a client has a meritorious case, I advise him or her not to sue. If I believe there is a good case, then I'll fight like hell to get my client everything he or she deserves. But I'll never advise suing just to earn myself a fee. I've never practiced that way, and I never will.. My fees depend on the type of case, the amount in dispute, the complexity of the anticipated litigation, and other such matters. All fees are set forth in a written retainer agreement filed with the NYS Office of Court Administration, where appropriate... I will never promise a client a result. No responsible or reputable lawyer ever will. I will promise, if I undertake to represent you, that I will do my very best to provide you with my best skills and efforts, that I will work my hardest for you, and that I will consult with you before undertaking actions on your behalf, All settlement proposals will be communicated to you, and explained to you, in full. Whether to accept a settlement will be strictly your decision.. No matter whom you choose to represent you, good luck. But before you make your selection, be sure to check out each candidate thoroughly.. Susan Pernick
