Since returning to private practice, Gerard has handled all phases of commercial litigation and criminal defense, and has tried, arbitrated and mediated extensively in both state and federal matters. In so doing, Gerard has successfully authored and argued motion and briefs submitted to both federal and state trial and appellate courts, including the United States Supreme Court.
