Paul Jr. Designs

In 2009, Teutul opened his own design firm Paul Jr. Designs, and in the same year he designed a dog park in Montgomery, New York. Teutul’s first product design was a “facelift” for Coleman’s 10th anniversary “Roadtrip Grill” in 2010. On the February 4, 2010 American Chopper episode “Stewart-Haas Bike”, Teutul Jr. pitched a line of dog toys to Bamboo Pets.

In mid April 2010, it was reported by TMZ, that Paul Jr. planned to start his own motorcycle business to go head-to-head against OCC. The report stated that Paul Jr. was bringing on several former OCC employees, including Vinnie DiMartino, Michael Teutul, Joe Puliafico, and Robert “Nub” Collard.

After waiting out a one-year non-compete clause with Orange County Choppers, Teutul Jr. began building motorcycles at PJD, which is featured on a new series, American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior, on the Discovery Channel. The company now competes directly with OCC. Former OCC employee Cody Connelly has since joined PJD.

In 2014, PJD assembled two teams to create two Azeroth bikes for Blizzard Entertainment’s World of Warcraft which appeared in the game. In 2016, they created two bikes for the feature film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows.

Paul Teutul Jr. Lawsuit

Teutul Jr., his father Paul John, and his brother Daniel are named in a 2007 lawsuit alleging fraudulent transfer, brought on behalf of Turner Construction. This dates back to 2003 and a ruling in favor of Turner in 2005 concerning the original OC Iron Works company.

It is alleged that assets were stripped from the OC Ironworks, transferring the viable assets, contracts and personnel to a new company OC Ironworks LLC, before bankrupting the former. This involved transferring the ownership to Paul Teutul Jr. and allegedly selling the assets to the new company with unfair compensation.

In 2007, Trustee Tom Genova filed fraud complaints with the Bankruptcy Court and in complaint sought to have the transfers from the old company to the new company judged fraudulent and set aside.

Tom Genova also sought to make the new company liable for the old company’s debts. A proposed settlement was reached with Orange County LLC paying out $500,000 to Genova to be distributed to the creditors.

On February 16, 2011, the New York State Unified Court System’s website, showed that the Teutul v Teutul civil action was no longer active. The case had been “Disposed”, meaning the case was out of the court system. On the August 29, 2011, episode, Teutul Jr. and Teutul Sr. settled the lawsuit with Teutul Sr.’s purchase of Teutul Jr. 20% share in Orange County Choppers (“OCC”), thus ending the lawsuit.

Paul Teutul Jr. Falling out

On the April 9, 2009 episode of American Chopper, following a disagreement with his father and business partner, Teutul’s employment was terminated. They attempted to resolve their disagreements, and Teutul Jr. returned to work for OCC.

The April 30, 2009 episode reveals that Teutul Jr. ultimately decided to voluntarily terminate his employment as a full-time member of the staff. In subsequent episodes, he returned to OCC as a consultant, helping with bike builds when his father was away from the shop, and on motorbike builds needing additional manpower.
