For nearly 30 years, Paul Schlemmer has represented hundreds of clients. In doing so, he has served an extremely diverse range of communities within New York City, as well as in various other jurisdictions throughout the United States.
Paul is Board Certified in Civil Trial Advocacy by the National Board of Trial Advocacy since 2008, a distinction uniquely held by only 4% of the lawyers in the United States of America. He is also a member of the American Board of Trial Advocacy, the National Trial Lawyers Top 100, and the American Association for Justice.
Mr. Schlemmer has secured numerous million dollar and multi-million dollar jury verdicts and settlements for his injured clients. However, he is always acutely aware, that while these monetary results represent justice and vindication for the injured, they will never truly replace the physical and emotional losses that have been suffered.
Paul Schlemmer is also proudly known for dedicating a substantial amount of his practice to working in affiliation with his colleagues at other New York City based law firms on behalf of their very seriously injured clients, as well as affiliating with other law firms throughout the United States.
In addition to the above, during his career Mr. Schlemmer has amassed an extensive base of knowledge and experience regarding complex financial matters. This includes an ever-growing base of knowledge regarding complex wealth management, sophisticated structured financial products, securities and derivatives markets, complex estate, financial and succession planning methods, trusts, corporate entities and family asset protection methods. This knowledge provides him with a unique ability to provide confidential consultation to UHNW individuals and their family members, whether acting as a confidential sounding board; providing a review and second opinion on an existing financial plan; acting as an Independent Board Director, Independent Trustee, Co-Trustee, or Trust Protector; or providing other financial management related services.
