Marc Lawrence Breakstone

I hired Marc after another lawyer wasn't really spending the time or attention to my case that I felt comfortable with. When I spoke to Marc the very first time on the phone, I thought, "This guy is tough and attentive!" From our first conversation until the successful outcome of my mediations and ...settlement, I could not have asked for better, more thorough, and tough representation. I read a review on this very site and that lead me to Marc Breakstone. The positive things people say are right on the money. He told me to focus on my healing and health and leave the lawyering to him. I needed that assurance because I had 5 surgeries in just over a year, and was dealing with disability for the first time and I was in an enormous amount of pain. His strength allowed me to let it go and focus on my health. The case was settled in mediation and it was a very positive outcome. Thank you Marc, Christine Roberts and Reza Breakstone. I am forever grateful for your hard work, expertise and dedication. I would recommend you to anyone that needed representation after an injury and facing big insurance. You gave a voice and a face to my case and you made them look at the facts. Grateful.

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.

I recently used Marc in a case that no other attorneys wanted to take on. Marc worked diligently to resolve the case fast. He kept me informed the entire time and worked overtime when the insurance company wanted to put off paying. I got my settlement and it is due entirely to Marc Breakstone. I ...have recommended Marc and would again. He is a great attorney.

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.

Thank you Attorney Breakstone. Because of your phenomenal assistance with my father’s wrongful death, my mother who was dependent on my father’s loving care is now receiving and will continue to receive the care she needs. At the start of this journey that began with a car accident that would ultim...ately claim my father’s life, all I wanted to do was be with my father as he lay in the ICU connected to more life supporting machines than I ever hope to see again, and to comfort my poor mother who had depended on my father for so long. I didn’t want to do or think about anything else, certainly not to seek legal counsel as visions of opportunistic ambulance chasers and bad TV ads and posters on buses came to mind - it just felt wrong. But I also knew from the core of my being that if my father and mother were to be reasonably compensated for the pain and suffering and ultimately death that were caused by this accident that we would have to engage an attorney – but finding one who would be dignified, respectful, and competent was the challenge. So I asked a trusted friend, an attorney as well, who referred us to Attorney Breakstone - and I am so grateful. While my father could still talk, I told him we were hiring a lawyer. He smiled and said he’d been thinking about this. This was the last time my father talked to me as he was on a respirator from there on until moments before he died. I like to believe my father died a little more peacefully, knowing that his family was addressing his wrongful death. He was a good dad, devoted to his family. From the start, Attorney Breakstone was understanding and offered us his condolences and his much needed guidance – and I had no idea how much guidance I would need. Even before my father died, there were phone calls from insurance agents – and then after my father died, there were more calls, and bills, some massive, and threats of collection agencies. Attorney Breakstone had us direct all these financial matters and inquiries over to him for him to address directly or to advise us. What a relief! On another front, we were getting nowhere with our effort to place our mother into a quality assisted living facility. Although my parents had sacrificed and saved for their future, their savings were modest at best and inadequate for the exorbitant cost of many such facilities. My mother deteriorated. Her needs exceeded our capacity to care for her – even with the assistance of a home health aide. We asked Attorney Breakstone to try to resolve the matter quickly as we were being rejected by assisted living facilities because of inadequate financial resources. Not only did Attorney Breakstone settle the claim much more quickly than anticipated, but for an amount that was more than six times as much as my highest hopes at the start of this journey. My mother finally met the financial requirements and, no surprise, was accepted by an excellent assisted living facility. So I say again “Thank you, Attorney Breakstone.” Because of you and all your work, my family and I can now relax with the knowledge that my mother is receiving the care that she needs and my father’s wrongful death has been justly compensated.
