Biography
Superb results in injury and malpractice cases. Experiencd, aggressive and compassionate representation. Don't take my word: READ MY CLIENT REVIEWS., Top 100 Massachusetts Super Lawyer for 10 years. Top 100 New England Super Lawyer 3 years.
I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you about your injury or malpractice claim. If you are looking for a tenacious, thorough, competent advocate call me for a no-cost consultation, I 'll give it to you straight, no baloney.
I pride myself on handling every injury and medical malpractice case like it was my only case. I can do that because I accept and handle a relatively small number of cases.. By doing this, I can commit the time, resources and creative energy to every case. That is how I would want my lawyer to handle my own serious injury case. It allows me to obtain consistently outstanding results.
Beyond the financial recovery, i commit myself to helping my clients restore their physical, emotinal and financial health as quickly and fully as possible. Helping clients restore well-being into their lives is as important as the financial recovery in the case. I will help make certain you get the care and resources you need to get back on your feet.
If you visit my firm's website, , you can read about a number of record of record recoveries for my clients, including $10.2 million for the family of a toddler who was rendered a quadriplegic due to negligent ambulance personnel and a record $7.5 million for the family of a baby who was profoundly brain damaged due to medical negligence, $7.5 million for the family of an electrician killed in a gas explosion. I am equally proud of the many recoveries for victims of car crashes, construction site injuries, bicycle accidents and premises liability.
In addition to my proven results, I have earned the respect of my colleagues on both sides of the bar. I have been selected by my peers as a "Top 100 Lawyers in Massachusetts" in the Superlawyers publication for the past 10 years and have been selected every year since 2004 as one of the Superlawyers in the field of Medical Malpractice on behalf of plaintiffs. In 2002, I was honored by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly as a Lawyer of the Year for my work on the ambulance negligence case. As a direct result of that case, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health changed its policies relative to incident reporting so as to ensure that other families did not endure the suffering of my clients.
I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you regarding your claim. Thank you and good luck with finding the best lawyer for your case.

Just settled - Thanks to Marc Breakstone
Marc represented me in a medical malpractice case that was recently settled through binding arbitration. This case involved a surgeon who provided indisputably sub-standard care. But proving damages was less straightforward. (I was not left disabled. Rather I endure persistent symptoms of pain a...

Mrs. Leveillee
YES, Marc Breakstone is trustworthy, responsive, and knowledgeable. YES, he kept us informed about what to expect and when things would be happening in our case.

"I have known Marc by his excellent reputation for ages, and I have personally first met him about 10 years ago, when I was attending one of his seminars for young lawyers starting their practices. Marc is as fierce as he is fearless in achieving results for his clients - and he is known for it by the defense bar, his opposition. His reputation among legal community is unquestioned: it is one of the very best. I, too, told my husband that if I ever get into an accident where I would be unable to articulate my will, I would like Marc to represent him for my injuries.

I know that if there is no case there, Marc will tell her so, I also know that if there is a case to be pursued that Marc will be a zealous advocate for my family.
