Marc Lawrence Breakstone

Through our 6 year experience with Marc, he has left a lasting image of an outstanding lawyer. Marc is a very diligent lawyer, and always kept our family updated on every detail throughout our case, over a hundred mail communications and countless phone conversations. His relentless attitude in the ...courtroom really made us us feel that we had chosen the best attorney for our case. Marc never settled for an amount that he felt was unfair, and stuck with the case for quite some time to accomplish the greatest judgment that was possible. Working with Marc was a pleasure and he is very reassuring throughout a process that is traumatic and fairly new for most people. I would recommend Marc to anyone who wants to be sure that they have chosen the best attorney for the case.

I was referred to Marc by a friend and could not be more pleased. Marc’s professionalism, diligence and persistence were unsurpassed. He kept me informed throughout the entire process and I always felt confidence that I was well represented. Marc exceeded all of my expectations and I am extr...emely satisfied the final resolution of my claim. I would highly recommend Marc to anyone in need of legal expertise.

Marc Breakstone was a great lawyer to have representing me after I was seriously injured after I was hit by a car on my bicycle. Marc was my attorney while I was still in the hospital and he took out away all of the stress of dealing with bills and insurance companies. He made it very clear that my... top priority was to get better. I never once had to deal with bills or the insurance company, Marc took care of that. Even once I was released from the hospital I had nagging injuries that I thought were minor. Marc followed up with me on multiple occasions to make sure I got them diagnosed and it turned out they were not minor at all! I felt that Marc did an incredible job leading up to my deposition and told me all of the details how my case would play out. He was completely correct in that matter. Lastly, I was incredibly impressed when it came down to the mediation of my case. Marc was extremely prepared with a well put together digital presentation of the scene of the accident and all of the evidence. He did not waver at all for an instance during the process. I felt like he did whatever it took to make sure I got the full entitlement of my settlement. Marc took much of the stress out of a very trying time in my life and I was glad that he was there representing me.

Four years ago, on the night of my high school junior prom, I was seriously injured in a car accident. The driver's insurance company gave me the run around for three years. I am sure they were hoping I would give up and I almost did. It was very frustrating and I didn't know where else to turn. ... A friend of my mother's referred me to Marc Breakstone. She said if anyone could help me, it would be Marc. Marc was honest, easy to talk to and took charge of my case. Less than a year later, the case was settled for more than three times the amount of the original final offer from the insurance company. There is no question, this would not have happened without Marc's intervention. I am so grateful to Marc and I highly recommend him without any reservations.

“Marc represented my wife and me in a failure to diagnose cancer case which eventually went to arbitration and resulted in a substantial award in our favor. I recall bringing my wife’s medical records to Marc because I was concerned that my wife’s gynecologist may have missed the opportunity... to treat her ovarian cancer at a time that it was treatable. Marc explained his careful approach to reviewing the case and to obtaining highly qualified experts to provide their opinions as to whether or not the physician had committed malpractice. I was impressed that Marc retained one of the top ovarian cancer specialists in the country to review the case. That expert supported Marc’s belief that my wife’s doctor had committed malpractice. After that, Marc explained in detail the litigation process. He told us, candidly, that the doctor’s insurance company was not going to even consider settling the case, so that we needed to file a lawsuit. My wife and I agreed. Before filing the lawsuit, Marc laid out the steps in the litigation and we knew exactly what our roles and responsibilities would be. This was important to my wife and me as she was battling metastatic cancer and her time commitment to treatment was major. Like clockwork, Marc kept us informed of all of the important developments in the case. When it came time for us to answer written interrogatories and to appear to give testimony at our depositions, Marc spent the time necessary preparing us so that we were totally comfortable with these important proceedings. More important, he was a caring advocate who sat by our and our children’s sides during our depositions to ensure that we got through the difficult questioning without event. Unfortunately, our case was scheduled and rescheduled several times for trial. With my wife terminally ill, Marc advised us to consider an alternative to trial, namely binding arbitration. Based on his recommendation, we agreed to forego a jury trial and submit the case to binding arbitration. My wife and I watched in amazement as Marc effectively presented our case to the arbitrator. Not only did he masterfully present our evidence, but he surgically took apart each of the three defense expert witnesses. That was something to see. These defense experts were chairmen of their respective departments at major teaching hospitals and were considered national authorities in their fields. Marc took them down with aplomb. We won the arbitration and received an award of damages which we felt fully compensated my family. Marc is a ferocious warrior for his clients. We felt that we got the best possible representation. In addition to his legal ability, Marc is just a nice, regular and unassuming guy. We were fortunate to have him on our side.”
