Guaranteed Satisfaction

Attorney McBreen took my case and won, when every other Attorney said "No" to it. He can make the impossible possible. He make sure you are aware of everything going on in your case, and he does not keep you in the dark. I was very satisfied with his services, and I would recommend anyone who's looki...ng for an attorney to reach out to him.

The BEST Auto accident attorney!

I truly can’t say enough amazing things about Dan McBreen and the way he handled my automobile accident case. From the very first conversation, Dan made me feel heard, supported, and confident that I was in the right hands. After my accident, I was overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start, but he t...ook the time to explain everything clearly and guided me through every step. What really stood out to me was how attentive he was. Dan wasn’t just treating me like another case he genuinely cared about what I was going through. He always kept me updated, answered my questions quickly, and made sure I understood what was happening at all times. Dan’s dedication and work ethic are UNMATCHED. He paid attention to every detail, built a strong case, and fought hard to get me the best possible outcome. Thanks to him, I was able to win my case and receive a settlement that honestly exceeded my expectations. I’m so grateful I had Dan McBreen on my side during such a stressful time. If you’re looking for a lawyer who is not only highly skilled but also truly cares about his clients, I highly recommend him. He made a difficult situation so much easier for me, and I’ll always appreciate everything he did for me.

They're the best

Dan McBreen worked with me on my malpractice case. It took 5 years at no fault of theirs. They never wavered and attempted to back out of my case and every time I called, Dan picked up or called me back soon after leaving a message. Never did it go to an assistant it was always Dan He was more than h...appy to give me whatever time I needed. Their office was there for me when no one else would even touch my case I would highly recommend them to anybody that needs help.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
