He became co-lead trial lawyer and tried the liability of BP Transocean and Halliburton
NEW ORLEANS, LA, February 02, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Paul M. Sterbcow, Managing Partner of Lewis, Kullman, Sterbcow & Abramson, has been recognized for showing dedication, leadership and excellence in maritime and admiralty law. He was also recently named among the Top Attorneys in Louisiana for 2016.
As a managing partner of Lewis, Kullman, Sterbcow & Abramson, Mr. Sterbcow is primarily responsible for practicing in the areas of maritime and admiralty law. In addition to his work with the firm, Mr. Sterbcow has served as a lecturer and speaker for the Tulane University Law School's Maritime Seminar Advisory Committee since 1995.
He attributes his success to enjoying what he does and putting in the time required, as well as his hard work and consistent preparation. He became involved in his profession because it was a natural progression. He initially started his career as a chemistry major at Tulane University, but found that he really did not like the coursework. He decided to take a political science class to see if he liked it, and found that he thoroughly did, so he subsequently graduated with an undergraduate degree in political science. It seemed like the logical next step would be to attain a law degree, so he subsequently went to law school. The highlight of his career was being chosen by Judge Carl Barbier to be a member of the Plaintiff Steering Committee in the largest single civil litigation lawsuit in the history of American jurisprudence. He became co-lead trial lawyer and tried the liability of BP Transocean and Halliburton. He represented approximately 700 commercial divers, as well as commercial fishermen, crabbers, deckhands, property owners, small- and large-business owners, and oil and gas industry entities who sustained damages as a result of the deep water horizon incident. He is extremely proud of that. Being able to put the whole team together, get the case ready for trial, and be one of the lead trail lawyers in the court room was very rewarding.
Mr. Sterbcow received a JD from Tulane University Law School in 1986 and a Bachelor of Science in Political Science from Tulane University in 1982. He maintains affiliation with the American College of Trial Lawyers, the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, the American Association of Justice, the Louisiana Association of Justice, the South East Admiralty Law Institute, the Maritime Law Association, the New Orleans Bar Association, and the New Orleans Federal Bar Association. In recognition of his hard work and dedication, he has been named as one of Louisiana Top Attorneys by Super Lawyers, and he holds an AV Preeminent Peer Review Rating from Martindale-Hubbell. In 2013, St. Charles Avenue Magazine named Mr. Sterbcow as one of the Top Attorneys in New Orleans. In years to come, Mr. Sterbcow would like to continue to do what he's doing and possibly branch out into other areas of litigation. He would also like to take the time to teach some classes over at Tulane University as an adjunct professor.
