Marc Lawrence Breakstone

Mr. Breakstone gave a very clear and objective description of the case, what I should expect to happen, and what results to expect. His openness was comforting and his thorough explanations gave me supreme confidence in his abilities from the get go. In execution, Mr. Breakstone exceeded these expe...ctations. The results were more than expected and extremely satisfactory. Throughout the case, Mr. Breakstone and his staff kept me informed and part of the process, making sure I understood all procedures and that I was comfortable asking any questions. For cases involving reimbursement for damages, Mr. Breakstone has proven his expertise, experience, and personable demeanor to me and I can strongly recommend him as a legal representitive.

Being involved in a serious automobile accident, especially one in which you are not at fault, is a dreadful experience that is emotionally overwhelming, physically demanding and has lasting consequences on not only your life, but on the lives of your spouse and family. Then to compound these difficu...lties, it is necessary for you to simultaneously retain an attorney to protect your interests and to shield you from the legalities and numerous issues that must be dealt with from the other parties involved in the accident, the police, the doctors, the medical institutions and the insurance companies. It is truly and overwhelming experience to deal with under the most trying circumstances. Fortunately, through a series of inquires with my business associates, I was given Marc Breakstone’s name and telephone number. He came highly recommended and was described as an attorney that was very successful representing his client’s interests. This has all proven to be true, but with the bonus that Marc Breakstone has also demonstrated that he is also compassionate, understanding and has the unique ability of making you feel like you are his only client. My first meeting with Marc occurred shortly after my release from the hospital. My wife and I drove to his office in Boston. This being my first venture out since the accident was also the most difficult and frightening ride in an automobile I had ever made. My nerves and composure were truly on the edge of panic. Marc realized this and was able to make me comfortable. Our initial meeting was thorough and Marc laid out the plan we would follow to bring this legal matter to a successful conclusion. We also talked about family, life in general and his children. He presents himself as a regular person and not as someone that you only want to deal with on a business level. All through the process and every step of the way, Marc kept me informed and completely up to date on the progress of my case. When information was needed from me or a meeting was necessary, Marc would notify me and I would immediately respond. In addition to interacting with Marc, it was also necessary to interact with individuals on his staff. These interactions were always professional and unhurried. Again, you would always feel that this was the only case Marc was working on. In the end, Marc was able to bring my case to a successful conclusion, in record time and with an outcome that was more than satisfactory. I cannot express my gratitude to this attorney who represented and protected my best interest’s, treated both my wife and I with dignity and respect and who presented himself and his firm in the highest traditions of the legal profession. I would recommend Marc Breakstone without hesitation or reservation. He is an excellent attorney and a truly good person.

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...nd numbness in one of my extremities.) Marc and his associate accompanied me through the litigation process in a genuinely supportive manner. He communicated the utmost respect and alway put me at ease. I appreciate Marc's direct, no-nonsense style as well as his legal know-how. I felt I got the best guidance at each step of the way. I came away from the process with a deep respect for our legal system, a settlement that was more than I had hoped for, and of course gratitude for having been so well represented by Marc Breakstone.

Marc represented my wife and me in a medical malpractice lawsuit. My wife had an allergic reaction to medication and the results were like nothing I had ever seen or experienced before. With a five year old daughter and a 10 week old son at home, and my wife in the burn unit I.C.U. for three weeks,... the last thing on my mind was finding a lawyer. Speaking with Marc was actually my first contact, ever, with a lawyer. From the very beginning, he made it perfectly clear that the only things that I needed to be concerned with were, the well being of my wife and children. The entire case was spread out over a four year period. Throughout this time, Marc was in constant contact about any developments in our case or concerns that we might have. He always reassured us that, although it was a drawn out process, we had nothing to worry about. Marc found top medical experts for our side of the case. He also spent time with focus groups concerning our case, which we found to be incredibly helpful and showed us true diligence in the work that he does. We recently settled our case. We only wish that there was more which we could do for Marc, to show the appreciation we have for all of his hard work and valuable time that he devoted to our family. We are forever grateful to, and would highly recommend, Marc Breakstone to anyone!

I've been a lawyer for 10 years - the entire time spent defending parties in a wide range of lawsuits. I had heard of Marc, but was never on the opposite side of the v. from him. I knew lawyers that had been and his reputation was exceptional. Then while driving to a mediation to represent a driv...er involved in an accident I was involved in a horrendous crash myself. A father, husband and young lawyer - my life was sent into a tailspin. Bad injuries, months of therapy, unable to work. Then one day my wife asked me who we should get to represent us and I was amazed - I didn't know. Being a lawyer I know many lawyers I trust and so I went to several and asked for recommendations. And I was amazed for a second time. Each one gave me one name, the same name - Marc Breakstone. I've heard that doctors make horrible patients. The same can probably be said of lawyers as plaintiffs. Hey, this is what I do. I had preconceptions and biases - all things that would have held my case back. Marc made sure that didn't happen. From our first meeting, where I hobbled in on a walker, Marc made me and my wife feel that we were his most important clients. He had a plan. He was thorough. He was relentless. He answered our questions. He kept us informed. Marc made sure that my family got everything it was entitled to. He made sure that each and every one of my injuries was fully evaluated - no stone was left unturned. The accident was clear liability, but Marc took the same approach to the investigation as if it was contested. Every witness was investigated, every statement was taken. As a lawyer I can tell you this, it was a lesson in how a case should be prepared. Having been in a lawsuit now I can also tell you the most important thing that you are not thinking about right now - the worry factor. You do not want to have to worry about your lawsuit or your lawyer. I was worried about walking without a limp, being able to play with my child again, getting back to work. The last thing I wanted to think about was my lawsuit. With Marc, there is no worry. While you are doing your job - getting healthy again, taking care of your family - he is doing his - providing you with the best possible legal representation. This was particularly important for my wife. Despite my background, Marc went out of his way to explain the process to her and keep her informed. After the accident, there were many worries. Marc was not one of them. I put his name right up there with the medical professionals that helped me get my life back on track.
