Marc Lawrence Breakstone

I deal with lawyers daily in my capacity as president of an insurance agency specializing in lawyers matters. Mark's attention to detail for was evident from the start of my case. His communication was focused, efficient, and kept me abreast of my case as it developed. Mark's direct style is an asset... as he is honest with his assessment of the case and firm in his resolve to achieve the very best outcome for you as his client. His research and the manner in which he conducted the depositions were significant factors that drove the successful outcome of my case. Mark is exactly what you need in a lawyer when you entrust him with your case. You expect a direct, honest assesment of success, you expect dedication to your case, you expect regular communication and above all you expect focused, expert negotiation skills when the time is right. Mark has mastered these legal skills and uses them in an expert manner when he negotiates on your case. I would recommend Mark without reservation.

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.

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. But the thing that sets Marc apart from other lawyers is that he LISTENS and then acts appropriately. Marc's skills ensured that my daug...hter would have everything that she needed for the rest of her life. Our case was not about greed, revenge or publicity. Marc made our case about getting everything that our little girl needed! We could not have asked for anything more!

Our experience with Marc Breakstone was in regard to a medical malpractice issue for which we felt we had cause to bring suit. Marc was very thorough in his initial review of the circumstances in the case and when he agreed to take on the case for trial he was quite clear about the dangers and ris...ks that he saw as a part of proceeding. As in most cases, the entire process of initial contact to eventual settlement was a very lengthy procedure, almost 6 years. Throughout this time, we were kept informed as to the status of the case and any questions we had were promptly answered. Our telephone calls were always either taken when we called or returned in a very short amount of time and the same would be said for responses to our emails. Office support staff was also professional and responsive to any issues we had that required their involvement. During the process of actual settlement, Marc was at his best, both professionally and personally. He was reassuring and supportive throughout the mediation process and did an excellent job of allaying our anxieties over whether or not the case would settle in our favor. We would highly recommend Marc Breakstone to anyone in need of legal representation for which he has particular experience and expertise.
