Q&A
Our founder and CEO, Paul Abraham, grew up in an entrepreneurial family. As soon as he was old enough to participate in the family businesses, he helped in dealing with lawyers across multiple practice areas – estate planning, business, litigation, real estate, and others. As he did so, he was shocked as lawyer after lawyer failed to do what they said they would do in the time frame they promised, billed their time for social chitchat, proved non-communicative and non-responsive to calls and emails, or otherwise completely failed to provide even decent client service. Paul knew there had to be another way. Seeing how much his own family would have benefited from proper counsel and quality service, he decided to go to law school with the intention of creating a new law firm with a client-centric model. PJI Law became a reality in October 2010, and has since served countless clients according to that vision.
