Great Law Firm!
Brian and his team brought clarity, confidence, and sharp legal insight from day one. Their ability to understand the details, anticipate challenges, and shape a winning strategy made all the difference in my case. I trusted their judgment completely and am grateful for the outcome they achieved.

The time came where I neede...

Settlement received
My wife and I were riding our bikes when she hit a hard-to-see pothole on a poorly maintained street. Since that day, her life — and as a result, mine — has completely changed. We spoke with many attorneys, but Brian and his team truly stood out from everyone else. Throughout the entire process, whi...

Brian Breiter the $6 million dollar man!
I never thought I would need a personal injury attorney until a tree branch weighing hundreds of pounds fell on me, knocking me unconscious and leaving me with a traumatic brain injury, a herniated disc in my neck, a torn meniscus, and other trauma. From day one Brian Breiter and Jeff Twomey saw ...
Brian James Breiter's Lawyer Endorsements
"Brian is a terrific lawyer. From first meeting until resolution, whether by settlement or trial, Brian and his team will stand by you, honestly answer questions, and compassionately help you and your family thru the process. When your case is resolved, you will know that the result he achieved for you was fair, just and that your original decision to hire him was the right one."
"I endorse this lawyer. When I was looking to refer my trusted clients to the best plaintiff's civil litigator in the Los Angeles area, time and time again Brian's name was given. His results are not surpassed."
"Brian's ongoing wins, verdicts, and strong positive client reviews all speak for themselves, and I listen. Since I wanted to be a part of his continuing success, I decided to join and work for him."
"I endorse this lawyer. I tried a big case against Brian before I came to work with him. Brian won the case. He's an excellent trial lawyer, knows the law and brings in large verdicts for his clients. Fortunately, he hired me after our case was completed and I can also say he runs a very competent and very happy office."
"I battled Brian Breiter for three years on behalf of my client on a serious spinal injury case with an interesting fact pattern and complex liability issues. Brian was a tough opponent and pulled no punches along the way. We were eventually able to resolve the case to the satisfaction of all parties. Throughout the case, he exhibited exemplary professionalism and integrity and earned my respect both as litigator and as a zealous advocate for his clients."
"I have known Brian as a friend, employer and colleague for over 15 years. Brian is one of the most skilled attorneys I have had the pleasure of working with and learning from. He is a dedicated, compassionate and effective attorney. Clients who choose to work with Brian can know they are getting the best."
"Brian has been a mentor to me and I couldn't ask for a better lawyer to learn from, work with and receive guidance from. Brian is truly the guru of personal injury law. There is no one I would trust more with my own or my loved ones' personal injury matter. He is a stand up professional, with the highest of legal acumen to achieve the best result in any personal injury case."
"Brian is someone I am proud to call a mentor and has played an instrumental role in my development as a lawyer. He routinely gets outstanding results for his clients and his clients can rest assured they are in excellent hands. There are few people that are "great" at what they do. Brian is one of them and his many achievements and accolades are well-deserved."
"I endorse this lawyer. In the area plaintiffs personal injury law and wrongful death law, his knowledge and understanding is second to none. Our two offices have worked closely together on a number of cases and when the case had finally concluded, his clients have rated his performance 10 out of 10 in dedication, diligence, honesty, and case outcome (settlement). Defense attorney's and insurance adjusters respect him highly and do not look to opposing him in litigation. In the area of plaintiffs personal injury law and wrongful death law, I would not endorse any other Attorney ahead of Brian Breiter."

"Brian knows how to properly work up a case to establish the admissible evidence necessary to win at trial. Other contingency lawyers might be inclined to settle early and cheap, but not Brian. I have seen him take many cases through trial to verdict. He is a dynamic personality both in and out of court and this works well for him in the court room. He loves what he does and it shows in every conversation with him. I strongly recommend hiring Brian for your matter and I would use him myself if and when I ever had the need."
"I endorse this lawyer."
