A life saver

Being the only one bringing home the money to pay the bill's sometimes we make poor decisions. That was what happen to me and I was pulled over for speeding. A the time my license was still under suspension from a DUI back in 2012. Long story whole other topic. I was looking at a huge fine with manda...tory jail time. The judge wanted to throw the book at me. No deals no house arrest just do not pass go do not collect $200, straight to jail. With that we had a hearing. This man is the reason to what saved me. He knew every process every rule and caught the cop in a slip up that took my Driving on a suspended license DUI related all the way down to failure to carry license. To go from jail time and a big fine to just a $25 fine is awesome. I can't say thanks enough. Good man, good lawyer and very professional.

TOP NOTCH ATTORNEY!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! A++++

I retained the services of Mr. Breit for 4 different traffic violations that took place during a single traffic stop. The stop was initiated because according to the cop, I was speeding. I was on my way to work and although I did have a suspended drivers license, a suspended registration, and no insu...rance, I still try my best to obey the rules of the road. The officer was very polite and professional. The initial court date was rescheduled due to a scheduling conflict with my attorney. And to make matters much worse, I was facing significant prison time, a huge fine, and an indefinite license suspension. But at the 2nd court date, the arresting officer never showed up!! And even though he never showed up, and the judge wanted to bury me under the jail, my attorney was ready to aggressively defend me. He then requested that all the charges be dismissed. And guess what? The judge said he has never in his 25 years on the bench seen this happen like this! ALL THE CHARGES WERE DISMISSED!! I was VERY pleased with the outcome, and I would highly recommend anyone needing an attorney, especially for motor vehicle/traffic violations, to give this man a call. You won't regret it.

Very happy

Mr. Breit was quick to reach out to me and offer his help, which to me was a God-sent. He listened to my case, and immediately offered me hope, proposed a plan of action, and assured me of a likely positive resolution to my case. His directions were simple, and in the end resulted in a good outcome... for me. If I or anyone I know ever find ourselves in a similar situation, I know exactly who to turn to for assistance.

What a great man!

Lawyer Breit made me feel assured, and less stressed about my DUI. After my first consultation with him, I knew I could count on him to help me out. He was super knowledgeable, and very understanding. I felt very confident in choosing Lawyer Breit.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
