Susan J. Walsh has more than 20 years of trial and appellate experience in her criminal practice zealously defending clients ensnared in the criminal justice system in matters that range from complex white collar business crimes, including fraud and embezzlement, to murder and narcotics conspiracies. In addition to numerous day-to-day successes that have been unreported, Susan had the unprecedented success of securing commutations for seven of eight clemency petitions she filed under the Obama administration. NYSACDL recognized her for this incredible work in 2018. In 2020, Susan had a conviction reversed and vacated by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in the matter of the United States v. Nolan, --F3d .--, 2020 WL 1870140 (2d Cir. April 15, 2020) by convincing the Court that the trial lawyer was ineffective for, among other things, failing to employ the use of an expert on the issue of eyewitness testimony. This was a groundbreaking victory that sets the stage for potential appeals for many defendants in the future. Susan has been named one of Twelve Top Women NY METRO Criminal Defense Lawyers, and serves as the defense liaison to the ABA”s Sentencing Standards Committee.
