Marc Lawrence Breakstone

In a nutshell, Marc Breakstone is a top-notch attorney who puts back compassion in representation. I wholeheartedly recommend him. This was my first experience having to use the services of an attorney let alone use one for an injury I sustained. I never thought I would ever need to and in the back o...f my mind I was hoping never to deal with any attorney of any kind due to all the negative stigma. However, after my car accident which left me in severe pain I was hounded by the other insurance company to settle my case within two days of the accident and before I had a chance to see a specialist. They wanted to meet me at various fast food places to discuss and settle the case with zero regard for my situation. I was in no shape to drive due to my injury. The stress of the pain and the constant harassment by them was overwhelming. I reached out to Marc Breakstone through a friend of the family who is a patent law attorney. Marc took a major stress point and outright eliminated it. His instructions to me...."You focus on getting better and I will deal with all legal matters". It couldn't have been truer. A huge stress was lifted off my chest and Marc was amazing from immediately halting the harassing calls from the other company to guiding me through the whole process of getting better. He was on top of my case every step of the way and periodically he would check on my health progress and he would buffer me from all legal matters. I've never been injured before and his expertise in the medical field is phenomenally helpful. He was able to help guide me in identifying the proper medical types of specialist who were finally able to help me. I could not have asked for a better representative to take my case. Although healing was my #1 goal the outcome of the case was better than I had expected.

In June of last year, I was broadsided by a car while on my bicycle. I had the right of way, the driver did not see me; he failed to stop at the stop sign. The bulk of the damage was in my right shoulder, which hyperextended and snapped a tendon. I searched for an attorney who was also a rider, an...d the name Marc Breakstone kept popping up. From the beginning to the settlement, Marc was always there to take my call and answer my questions. He took care of everything from hospital bills to insurance issues. Engaging the services of Marc Breakstone was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Attorney Marc Breakstone is an exceptional lawyer because he is genuinely interested in his client’s well-being, diligent in resolving issues, and relentless in demanding maximum compensation for injuries. When I was injured in 2009 because another driver wasn't paying attention and rear-ended my ...vehicle I didn't think I needed legal help. Thankfully, friends and family constantly urged me to talk with a lawyer and Marc came recommended as "the lawyer you want if you have a personal injury case in Massachusetts." After listening to the issues surrounding my injuries, Marc urged me not to try to deal with the insurance companies by myself because they would not have my best interests in mind. Marc immediately went to work on obtaining my lost wages and when my employer cited a 6 to 8 week turnaround he got involved and secured wages I desperately needed in two weeks’ time. As suit was filed in my case Marc’s thorough review of details led to his amending the suit to include losses my wife suffered due to my injuries. When ongoing medical expenses became cost prohibitive, Marc worked with my surgeon’s office so these bills could be paid out of settlement funds. At our mediation Marc was unyielding in obtaining a settlement that overcame the insurance company’s ridiculous and insulting offer by 6 times more than where they started. While Marc was a bulldog in negotiating with the defense, he kept us at ease and relaxed by his personable approach and friendly conversation between mediation sessions. Marc was able to secure a settlement for us that allowed us to move on with our lives and really showed us what a great lawyer should be if one is ever needed. We would enthusiastically recommend Marc Breakstone to anyone who needs a personal injury lawyer. I’ll go further, if you need a personal injury lawyer in Massachusetts; Marc Breakstone is the only one you want to handle your case.

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.

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.
