Phillip A. Wittmann Awarded First Ever Centennial Leadership Award by New Orleans Bar Association

“On behalf of the entire Stone Pigman family, I congratulate Phil on the Centennial Award by the New Orleans Bar Association. Phil has been and remains an integral part of Stone Pigman; and, as this award recognizes, Phil similarly is central to the New Orleans legal community.” -Michael Q. Walshe, Jr., Chair of Management Committee

"Phillip Wittmann has been a teacher, mentor and friend since I first clerked with Stone Pigman in 1974. I and countless others have learned from Phil – not from lectures, but by seeing his commitment to legal skill, integrity, professionalism, respect for others and commitment to the legal profession. Being a lawyer was not just Phil's job; it is what he is. I have never met anyone who enjoyed being a lawyer more than Phil Wittmann. Nor can I think of a more appropriate honoree for the first NOBA Centennial Award." - Wayne J. Lee, Member

The New Orleans Bar Association awarded Phil the Centennial Award because of his long-standing dedication to the practice of law. As NOBA recognized: "For more than six decades, Phillip A. Wittmann has stood as a pillar of integrity, intellect, and professionalism within the legal profession. Renowned for an unwavering commitment to justice and a keen ability to navigate even the most complex cases, he built a career defined not only by remarkable achievements in the courtroom, but also by a lasting influence on generations of attorneys… This award not only honors his unparalleled contributions but also reaffirms the bar’s dedication to leaders who endure as pillars of liberty and law."
