Marc Breakstone: great skill, knowledge and professionalism

When I was injured and hospitalized after being hit by a car on my bicycle, a colleague referred me to Marc Breakstone. At the first meeting with Marc, which involved going over my injuries, he demonstrated his years of experience with medical issues by predicting and making diagnoses I had not even ...heard yet from the doctors, which all turned out to be right. He was adamant in making sure I followed up with what appeared to be several minor issues compared to the larger injuries. However, I realized later that once the big problems are taking care off, the small things start mattering more and more, and it is very important to have them addressed sooner rather than later, for which I than Marc. Following the first meeting, Marc immediately went to work and took care of all the medical insurance paper work, which is a big relief. In addition he took care of the property damage insurance to the bike for which he collected no fee. During the process Marc responded instantaneously to my inquiries and updates and was on top of the case at all times. In the end he arranged a settlement that was significantly exceeding my expectation. The whole process was handled very prompt and professionally. Thanks to Marc I had not to worry about insurance and paperwork allowing me to focus on healing and picking up where I left off before the accident. Taken together, I highly recommended Marc.

Great lawyer to have in your corner

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.

Highly Recommended

A friend referred me to Breakstone, White and Gluck shortly after I was hit by a city bus while standing on the sidewalk. Both the MBTA and my insurance company did nothing to help after I had to visit the hospital several times to receive treatment for my arm. After speaking to Marc, I felt like I c...ould get through all the bills and issues stemming from my accident. Marc kept me up to date at all stages of my case and was always quick to respond to any and all questions I had. My case was settled much faster than anticipated and I believe it was done due to Marc's skill and reputation as an attorney. I was completely satisfied with Marc's services and would use them again for any legal need in the future.

Marc Breakstone will get you the justice you deserve!

I was in a very near fatal accident a couple of years ago. I had all I could do to fight for my life .So the last thing I needed was to have to worry about fighting for justice, as the accident was not my fault. My family & I hired Marc and all the stress of it was off of us and he took hold of the r...eigns for us. He was there all the way. He kept us totally informed and put us as a number one priorty. When I was finally released from several months stay in hospitals & rehab he made sure I was able to get what I deserved up front to move back into my home. I required alot of rehab to my home to be able to continue living there and he was able to get the money upfront that I required to get the job done. I do not know how I would have gotten through this without all his efforts. Then when it came time for the case he was able to do a speedy case due to my age. He was very professional & personable to work through the whole time. He got me what I deserved and I am very grateful for that. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Highly Recommended

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.

"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. Marc is also a very generous spirit to those who aspire to practice law perfectly: he is a well-known mentor, bar activist and frequent lecturer/ speaker on various issues concerning enhancing one's legal expertise and law practice. I highly recommend Marc's services and feel privileged to know someone of such amazing professional magnitude ."
