* Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer by the National Board of Legal Specialty Certification
Now in his 12th year of practice, Paul N. Schlemmer has made his mark in the courtroom as an accomplished trial lawyer who has obtained millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements through hard work and dedication to his clients. Large awards have gained him a reputation as a successful trial attorney in the State of New York, and several of his results have been reported in the National Law Journal and National Verdict Search publications.
In recent years, Paul has obtained several jury verdicts in excess of one million dollars for his clients, including three multi-million dollar awards. In addition to jury verdicts, Paul has achieved millions of dollars in settlements for his clients.
In June of 2005, Paul became the first attorney in the United States to win a products liability verdict against the world’s largest manufacturer of treadmills, for injuries that were being sustained by infants who were becoming trapped in a defect at the rear of the treadmill. Hundreds of these incidents had been reported to the federal government’s Consumer Products Safety Commission involving treadmills, with the infants often sustaining de-gloving injuries to their hands. Shortly after the verdict, these defectively designed treadmills were removed from the marketplace.
While his trial successes are a testament to his abilities as an advocate, he is acutely aware of the fact that these large awards represent monetary justice to persons whose lives have often been irreparably altered. It is this reality that inspires Paul to continue to fight for justice for every client that he represents.
Paul is a member of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, and a member of the American Trial Lawyers Association.
Paul N. Schlemmer graduated from Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, with Bachelor of Arts degree in 1994; and obtained his Juris Doctor from Valparaiso University School of Law in 1997.
