Paul Ajlouny

Paul Ajlouny is one of New York's most respected personal injury attorneys, known for securing exceptional results in catastrophic injury cases. With over 25 years of practice and more than $300 million recovered for clients, he has built a reputation for aggressive advocacy backed by a unique advantage: medical training that gives him unparalleled insight into complex injury litigation.

As the founding partner of Ajlouny Injury Law, Paul brings a combination rarely found in the legal profession—advanced medical knowledge and sophisticated trial advocacy—that proves decisive when fighting for clients who have suffered life-altering injuries.

Medical Training: A Strategic Advantage

Before dedicating his career to law, Paul Ajlouny attended medical school at the American University of Beirut, where he had previously earned his Bachelor of Science degree with a double major in Biology and Chemistry, graduating with honors. This clinical training provides a critical advantage that few personal injury attorneys possess. He understands medical terminology, diagnostic procedures, and treatment protocols at a level that allows him to identify nuances other lawyers miss.

This medical background translates directly into superior legal strategy:

• Accurate Case Valuation: Paul can precisely evaluate the severity and long-term cost of complex injuries, ensuring clients receive full compensation for lifetime medical needs, not just immediate treatment.
• Clinical Interpretation: His training allows the firm to dissect medical records, identify complications, and project future care requirements with clinical accuracy—crucial in cases involving spinal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and permanent disabilities.
• Evidence-Based Causation: Paul builds compelling arguments linking accidents to specific injuries, effectively countering insurance company doctors who attempt to minimize the severity of his clients' conditions.
• Strategic Leverage in Negotiations: Insurance companies recognize when opposing counsel possesses legitimate medical expertise. Paul's ability to present cases with clinical precision frequently compels stronger settlement offers before trial becomes necessary.

This medical insight has been instrumental in the firm's track record of multi-million dollar recoveries, particularly in cases requiring complex surgical interventions such as spinal fusions, joint replacements, and reconstructive procedures.

Education and Professional Development

Academic Foundation

Paul earned his Bachelor of Science degree from the American University of Beirut, graduating with honors with a double major in Biology and Chemistry. He then attended the American University of Beirut's Medical School, where he developed clinical knowledge that would later become a cornerstone of his legal practice.

After working in healthcare administration, Paul enrolled in St. John's University School of Law in Queens, earning his Juris Doctor in 1999. He was admitted to practice law in New York that same year and has been practicing for over 25 years.

Legal Training

After graduating from law school, Paul began his legal career as an associate at the firm of Daniel Galinson, one of the most respected personal injury attorneys in New York State. This rigorous apprenticeship under a pre-eminent legal figure provided Paul with a solid foundation in trial advocacy and complex injury litigation. After gaining substantial experience, Paul founded Ajlouny Injury Law, which has grown into a powerhouse firm operating from strategic locations throughout the New York Metropolitan area.

Proven Results in High-Stakes Cases

This trial-ready posture frequently compels defendants to offer substantially stronger settlements to avoid the unpredictable risk of a jury trial.
