“Jeffery is the visionary of the firm and my job is to execute that vision,” says Nasser Abujbarah, managing partner of Phillips Law Group, PC. The Jeffrey referred to is founding partner, Jeffrey Phillips, who created the firm 33 years ago.
Of Abujbarah, Phillips says, “Nasser has been the unlock I have always looked for at this firm. We speak the same language and our goals are aligned. We both want to provide the best possible service to all our clients while continuing our meteoric expansion, it’s a great partnership.”
Since joining the team 16 years ago, Abujbarah has risen from attorney to a position overseeing the whole operation. And they have serious plans for corporate expansion in the immediate and distant future.
Under Phillips’ guidance, the firm has recovered more than $2 billion for their clients and handled more than 185,000 cases across Arizona, California, Utah and various other states. His focus in continuing to expand the firm is based on a commitment to innovation across all operations while maintaining an equally strong commitment to the firm, the industry and the community. While managing day-to-day operations, Abujbarah remains active in strengthening internal systems, driving efficiency in all departments, and integrating AI and technology.
Each man is an experienced and award-winning trial attorney committed to maintaining the balance of a proven legacy with the demands of constant innovation and their teamwork has built an enviable record in personal injury.
“We talk every day, even on the weekends,” Phillips says. “I enjoy Nasser’s company and having an integrator who can execute on my vision for PLG has allowed me to focus on the big picture and ensuring this firm is set for the next three decades.”
Their partnership is based on mutual trust, understanding and especially communication. For example, Phillips, a busy professional, but also a dedicated family man, takes his kids to school. Before 9 a.m. he and Abujbarah are on the phone reviewing cases, discussing business needs, setting quarterly and yearly goals and planning the future of the organization.
“I understand what he wants and where he wants his firm to be. And I just kind of take it from there. After that, Jeffrey really does let me do my thing,” Abujbarah says.
The partners’ commitment to frequent and open communication extends to the attorneys and staff. Abujbarah has served in various roles from intake to case management, so he is well-versed in the total workings of the organization. When someone comes to him with a challenge, he has been on the ground floor facing that or similar obstacles.
“I’ve done everything,” he says. He meets with the attorneys and staff at their office or station, maintains an open-door policy, and gives his cell phone number to all employees. “We must be doing something right, because our employee retention is through the roof,” he says.
Phillips says, “Teamwork is incredibly vital to how I have positioned this law firm. I expect our staff to treat each other with kindness and respect. For the last four years we have been named one of the best places to work in America. I am proud of the culture at our firm and what we have created, everyone has each other’s back and the results speak for themselves.”
