One of the best desiscions of my life
I found the Law Offices of Brian Breiter on yelp after reading many of his positive reviews. I have to say that I was a bit skeptical about finding a lawyer on yelp but so glad I did. I called him one day as my wife drove me to a doctors appointment following a horrific and tragic car accident where I suffered a fractured spine, ribs, dislocated knee and severe third degree burns which required surgery. He immediately answered the phone and spoke to me for about an hour. Wow, I haven't even signed with him but he took his time to advise me and assist in getting the best medical attention for my injuries. Even though my case was extremely difficult and would probably not have much financial strength, Brian drove to my home on a Saturday morning to review my case and discuss the options. The most surprising part of working with Brian was his sincere level of care for my well being. I'd call him to discuss my case but he would stop me and insist that I address both medical and emotional issues related to my accident. He'd go as far as following up with my wife to make sure I was taking the right steps for my well being and going to all my doctors appointments. Another surprise of working was Brian was that he ALWAYS answered my calls. Didn't matter if I called him on the weekend or late at night, he'd always take my call or get back to me within minutes. I've worked with many attorneys in the course of my business, but never with one that treated me like a friend and not just a client. Even when my case took a turn for the worst and the outcome looked dim, he still gave me the same level of care and attention. He pursued every avenue to help me and it paid off. At the end, Brian was able to secure me a 7-figure settlement....yes, 7 figures! Me and my family will always be eternally grateful to Brian and his team for their hard work, care, dedication and friendship. I'd advise anyone reading this to not hesitate in hiring Brian and his team.

Amazing amazing amazing
This review is LONG overdue but let me start out by saying that Brian and his team are the real deal. Anyone looking for an amazing attorney should look no further. If you need help and are lost due to an accident that has caused major out of pocket expenses as well as unwanted pain and suffering, then please seek out Brian. Nobody will care more about your case I promise you! On September of 2015 I was involved in a motor vehicle accident where a semi-truck crashed into me due to careless driving. I was a college student at the time and was halfway through my nursing program when this accident turned my life upside down. This crash left me with a totaled car, with a complete fractured wrist (my dominant hand) which needed two major surgeries, and forced me to withdraw from the nursing program for 6 months pushing back my graduation date. You can imagine how helpless I felt as all of this was unexpected and not in my control. Right after the accident I was super lost and knew I needed help. I was stressed while looking for attorneys because I really just wanted someone who could help me seek justice. Thankfully I met Brian and knew right then and there that he would take care of me. The first time I met Brian I could just tell he was a genuine human being that truly cared. This is where Brian literally saved my life! I kid you not, all the stress and uncertainty of trying to get justice from this whole mess was erased by having Brian as my attorney. It was a grueling 3-year case which we ended up taking to trial. The defense was trying to give us a mediation amount that was barely covering the medical bills. However, Brian was so passionate about my case and he kept on saying this was worth more than what they were offering so he pushed for a trial. I was very nervous taking it to trial but with Brian’s expertise in the courtroom I can say that I had the very best experience. I was guided every step of the way and I had all of my trust in him and his team. Brian and his colleague, Jeff, were so passionate about my case in court that I cannot thank them enough for what they did to help me. We spent a whole week in trial together and I’ve never seen such compassionate and determined individuals speak the way these two spoke for me in front of a jury and a judge. They really care about what they’re doing and who they represent as clients and I can assure you that working with Brian is not a mistake. The jury unanimously sided with us and even gave a verdict way more than what we were asking for. I wish this accident had never happened, but since it had, I’m forever grateful I had Brian by my side. You won’t find anyone who cares more about you and will put in the amount of work they had the way Brian and his team did. I came into this whole thing with Brian being my attorney to Brian being family and a close friend. You won’t find an attorney better than him, 5 stars doesn’t even suffice!

Saved some artists!
I am a professional circus performer, and was involved in an 80 mph rollover crash that should have killed me and my partner, 4 and a half years ago. This was an accident that was 100% not my fault, and yet the insurance agencies still didnt want to give me what I was owed. Thanks to Brian and Mark, I was able to get the full settlement allotment through multiple rounds of insurances. And this was no easy case! its hard to convince people that what I do has value, and that I should be compensated for my injuries. Everyone on the team was a delight to work with, and I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again should any ills befall me in the future. I felt like i had someone working diligently for the best possible outcome for me and my wife. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did for me. If you need a lawyer, this is who to call!

Best of the Best
In January 2019, my family and I were involved in a severe car accident when another vehicle collided with us from the side. The impact left all of us in excruciating pain, but I was particularly affected by the injuries. As we dealt with the aftermath, it seemed like everywhere we turned, there were advertisements for law firms on bus benches, billboards, TV, and radio, both back then and even now in 2023. After being rescued from the wreckage and receiving medical attention at the hospital, I found myself sitting at our dining room table, contemplating the next steps. I knew that I needed legal representation. I was looking for a local, trustworthy, and hardworking firm to handle our case. Turning to Yelp for assistance, I entered the search terms "Best Lawyer + honest + hardworking + auto + accident near Los Angeles, CA 90016." To my surprise, at the top of the search results was the Law Offices of Brian Breiter. When I saw his profile picture, I immediately sensed that he was a dedicated advocate for his clients. Without wasting any time, I sent him a message on Yelp, explaining the details of the accident and its impact on my family. Less than five minutes later, Brian called me personally. We spoke for nearly half an hour, during which I couldn't believe the level of attention he was giving me over the phone. The following day, we met in person at his office, and it was clear that he was the right choice for us. Despite the challenges posed by COVID and the prevailing uncertainty, Brian and his remarkable firm stood by my side every step of the way. Mark, a member of Brian's team, ensured that I received exceptional care from physical therapists and underwent procedures such as epidurals and the replacement of two disc levels with the assistance of a talented and skilled spinal surgeon. In the end, Brian and his team achieved results beyond our wildest expectations, both in terms of medical recovery and financial compensation.

Amazing legal team
After my accident and I realized that I would need medical attention for my back and neck, I called one of those big law firms with the commercials with the jingles. They didn’t call back after two days (it would take them a week to finally respond),so I looked up reviews of personal injury law firms and found an amazing number of 5 star reviews for Brian Breiter. Brian called me back right away, listened to my story, and immediately said I had a case. I am so happy that other firm didn’t call back sooner and take my case because there is NO WAY they could have done as well as Brian and his team. They got me the medical attention I needed and also, in the end, a SPECTACULAR settlement literally far beyond my dreams. In fact, at one point Brian gave me a range of possible values for my case that sounded incredible and, I must admit, I thought at one point he may be overvaluing the case when the other side was countering with numbers far below ours. Well, I was wrong. Brian and his team got me a jaw dropping settlement precisely within Brian’s range of predicted values. But aside from the life changing settlement I received and the terrific job they did to maximize my in pocket share of that settlement by negotiating down the medical expenses, these guys were so supportive throughout the entire case. I literally cannot recommend them more highly. I’m a semi-retired attorney and know something about how personal injury cases work and these guys really know what they are doing. Extremely professional, skilled, and supportive. These guys should be recognized as one of the premier law firms in Los Angeles. Thanks in particular to, beyond Brian, Peter and Mark who were so supportive and always answered my questions.

Iron Man of Trial Lawyers!!!
Brian Breiter is the greatest trial attorney I have ever seen. I had the distinct privilege and pleasure of his association into a case I had filed several years ago. An ambulance T-boned my client and left him with disputed injuries to his lower back. I found Brian speaking alongside his fellow trial attorney, the brilliant star, Jeff Twomey (of Breiter Law), at a webinar. They were discussing another trial they had won. A $3 million dollar verdict for a nurse with a broken wrist. I had never tried a case before and knew I would need help with mine. I wrote to them, begging for their hand. Within minutes, Brian and Jeff called me. We spoke for the first time like we were lifelong friends. They made me feel valuable and they took the time to explore my case. Most importantly, they agreed to join me in prosecuting my client's claims against the ambulance and took over as lead. They did it all, including dozens of depositions, thousands of pages of discovery, expert designations, a dozen motions in limine AND an 11-DAY trial in Van Nuys where veteran defense counsel would not relent, claiming that after nearly 3 years without treatment, our client's injuries were exagerated if not non-related to the crash. They turned the impossible into miracles before my very eyes and the eyes of all in attendance, including our clients. They convinced the jury to award our clients $2 million dollars. Our client had only received two epidural injections over the course of several years, among other noninvasive therapies. These guys love to try cases (including the hard ones). That's what makes them extraordinary. Grateful to call Brian and Jeff friends. They are very special men and amazing trial lawyers.

Great Referral
Brian was strongly recommended from a family member after I sustained a serious job site accident that resulted in an amputation. Because I lived in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Brian was unfortunately not able to represent me. He was however able to recommend me one of the best personal injury attorneys in the city of Pittsburgh named Brendan Lupetin, of Lupetin and Unatin, who was able to get me a fantastic settlement that I deserved. Although Brian did not represent me, I am confident that he would have represented me as well as Brendan did as I believe that the kind of person Brendan is and that the type of work that he did is also a reflection of the type of a attorney that Brian is.

Best of the best
Brian Breiter is an outstanding attorney. I was badly injured in an auto accident, which was the other drivers fault. I was in and out of doctors offices, in severe pain, and ended up needing surgery. During a time in my life which was already extremely stressful, the last thing I wanted to deal with was the daunting legal aspect of the accident. However, after weeks of searching, as soon as I found Brian I knew immediately that I wanted him to represent me. I found him charming, funny, and enjoyable to talk to. The process was straightforward and easier than I anticipated, and Brian was able to get me the maximum settlement possible. Brian truly cares about his clients and is amazing at what he does. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much for everything Brian!!

Professional and kind. An absolute tiger who will fight for you
I have used Brian several times over the years, and he has been an amazing advocate for my family. He has been an amazing resource in several matters, and not only guided us through the legal process, he also connected us to excellent doctors and medical services, and followed up to insure that we received excellent treatment. When I took a bad fall, my family friend attorney told me that it was too difficult of a case, and that I wouldn't recover anything. It was a slip and fall accident at a theater, that rented space from a larger complex, who rented their property from a management company, who contracted with another company who held the insurance policy. The insurance company was a blank wall. Even though it was a clear issue, there was a pile of evidence, plenty of witnesses, and I was in the ER with injuries clearly caused by the incident, they said that there was nothing they could do for us. Brian fought for us. He is a tiger. He took it through mediation, and got a settlement that took care of my immediate medical needs, and provided enough to cover the lingering issues I was sure to have. When my wife's grandfather took a fall into a cobblestone courtyard from a second story balcony at a hotel, the insurance company said that they weren't liable, since her grandfather knew of the damaged balcony rail, and assumed the risk by staying at the property and touching the rail. This was ridiculous. The reason he knew about the damaged railing is because he was one of several people who had reported it the year before. My wife's grandfather was hurt, and could very easily have died. Her grandfather thought the right thing to do was to take care of things with his own insurance, which was Medicare, and to not pursue anything from a legal standpoint. He hated lawyers. He ended up loving Brian Breiter. Brian and his staff took a lot of time to walk him through what he needed to do, and WHY he needed to do it. He was so focused on his immediate pain, and so worried about hurting the business that owned the balcony rail that gave way - proprietors he had known for 30 years - that he thought some bed rest was fine, and he'd be back on his feet soon enough. He ended up needing a household helper, extended care, and had difficulty living alone, which eventually led to him moving into a retirement facility. If Brian and his staff had not been so patient and supportive, he would not have proceeded with any sort of claim, and would have ended up immobile, in pain, and without care. As it is, Brian helped him get the treatment and help he needed, and was able to get a settlement far above their initial offers, which made sure that he would be able to pay the extra bills that his injury caused. Brian won't just fight for you in court. He is on your side, and his staff is AT your side, through the whole process. I have referred a large handful of people to him, when disaster has struck. In every case, he has come through with spectacular results. I simply can't express enough my confidence in or my gratitude for Brian Breiter and his staff.

Best Law Office In LA
I just want to say a special thank you to the team at the Law Offices of Brian Breiter. Almost 4 years ago to this day I was in a slip and fall accident at a facility. I suffered a severe wrist fracture that required multiple surgeries and has altered my day to day life. I called Brian and his team and they were immediately helpful and compassionate. I also would like to thank the person running point, Jeff Twomey. He was my go to guy for exchanging emails, setting up appointments, and addressing any concerns or questions I had in a timely manner. I highly recommend Brian and his talented team of professionals.

A review for Brian Breiter
Words can not describe how thankful I am for Brian Breiter and his team. In 2018, my mother got in an accident due to negligence from a business/property that resulted in a broken hip and required surgery to replace it. I did not know what to do. I knew I needed a personal injury attorney but didn't know where to start. Therefore, I went online to search, and then I found Brian Breiter.. with 400+ reviews and 5/5 ratings. I took a leap of faith and gave Brian Breiter a call on what is the next step I should take. The next day, we went to his office and discuss our situation with Brian and his team. When we sat in his conference room, we saw many of the "Top Lawyer of The Year", and "Best Lawyer in California" awards, etc on his wall. That is when we knew Brian is not just a regular lawyer but he is the best of the best. Keep in mind, I was just a college student with no legal experience and my mom doesn't speak English really well. Brian and his team took their time and guide us through the procedures that going to happen moving forward. After the meeting, I did some more research on Brian Breiter and found out that Brian used to teach law as a professor at Pepperdine. Therefore, Brian will not hesitate to stand up in front of a large audience and go toe to toe with a defense lawyer due to his confidence. We decided to let Brian fight for my mom and her case. The defendant's insurance company offered my mom a very disrespectful amount of compensation money for her broken hip (replacement hip surgery). My mom used to be able to walk from 405 to Santa Monica Pier and now she CAN'T even walk 1-2 blocks without pain in her hip. She LOVES to walk around shopping at department stores, that is what makes her happy, and they took her happiness away. It is even worst on winter days because of the metal inside her body and she is in severe pain. During all those long depositions and medical check-ups, Brian and his team were with us along the way and update us on every progress of the case. After a long few years of a legal battle in court due to Covid and restrictions, we are happy to announce that they settled with Brian at MAXIMUM insurance. I just want to tell you personally, if you are looking for a personal injury lawyer and don't have any experience or who to trust. YOU HAVE FOUND IT. Brian is compassionate, empathetic, smart, talented, and many more. He is the real-life Iron Man. I wrote this from a bottom of my heart and maybe if you see this review you will take a leap of faith like I did with Brian and he will help you win the case and get what you deserve from whatever pain and suffering you or your family have endured. Lastly, I just want to say thank you to Brian Breiter, Mark Rubashkin, Timothy McCormick, Miss Irene, and the team. We are forever grateful. Respectfully, Tanick & Family

Pedestrian vs Auto
Brian Breiter and his team of professionals provided our family with a sense of security and calm after our tragic event. In our greatest moment of despair Brian showed us true care and compassion while assuring us that he and his team would handle the complexities ahead so we could focus on my wife's daily needs and her recovery. We were kept well informed throughout the process as the Covid 19 pandemic delayed many aspects. It has been assuring to know that we had Brian, Peter and Mark behind us for the entirety of our case and that we would not be passed on when the going got rough. We will be forever grateful to The Law Offices of Brian Breiter for surpassing our expectations of a final result.

Brian Breiter is far beyond the BEST
Several years ago, my mother had a serious personal injured. My mom was sent to ER room and several broken bones were diagnosed. We were very stand in the dark and literally don't know what to do next. The hospital bills were literally 6 digits for the treatment. All we know is it was clearly reckless and lack of property caution. I immediately looked up the best attorney of Los Angles and even California & sure enough we found Brian Breiter. He had countless attorney award in the industry. My mother and I immediately made the appointment to see Brian and his team. We sit in the circle and multiple attorneys in the room. Brian and his team took a note literally even piece of small details to ensure they understood clearly. Brian even allocated one interpreter to our case to ensure my mother can explain everything more clearly since she is not able to speak in English very well. Not only that, Brian assigned Mark & Tim who is Brian attorney team in the office to also help on our case. All attorneys are great, Brian, Mark & Tim. Sometimes, we felt like they are our family since they took care of us very well. Suddenly, the pandemic came to our world. Everything was close physically on ground. It took years to negotiate the case. They still manage to communication both on the phone and emails. Brian and his attorneys all gather and assured our family that our evidences is ready to meet the liability parties in court to win the case. The moment of truth finally arrived and they admit the guilt. Brian is probably the Iron Man in real life. He managed to help rightful to innocent people again We literally want to thank you Brian & his team for all the services and the help to our family. Without Brian & team, I don't know how this day can be even possible. Thank you for everything that you done to our family. Merry X'Mas & Happy New Year 2023 All the best, Titus & Family

Brian was extremely straightforward and progressional. Got me my max settlement and made sure I was looked after and taken care of after an uninsured hit and run. Laid out everything for me right away and took away any uncertainty I had over what to do next.

A LITTLE INVESTIGATION BY MY ATTORNEY PETER DIAMOND . . .
I contacted Mr. Breiter's office at the recommendation of a friend after I was hit by a ride share driver while crossing an intersection as a pedestrian in January of 2020. Attorney Peter Diamond represented me in the case. Initially, based on information from ride share, it appeared they would bear no responsibility for the accident since the driver was not carrying a passenger and I would only be able to collect through the minimum coverage allowed by the driver's personal auto policy. After some investigation by Peter and his associates at the office, it was discovered my case had occurred prior to a change in state law that defined when ride share companies were responsible for the actions of their drivers. Due to this further investigation into the unique aspects of my case, I ended up collecting nearly 17 times the amount I would have collected from the driver's insurer. Peter is very easy to work with, kept me up-to-date by text and telephone as the case progressed and kept any legwork on my part to a minimum. Each step in the case was fully explained. Peter made me feel very comfortable doing a video deposition. Each person I dealt with at the office was very professional and explained in detail any paperwork I was signing and any other aspect of the lawsuit. I cannot recommend Peter and the law firm highly enough.

Excellent Law Firm
Back in April 2022, I was coming from work going home. Not far work, I got sideswiped by a car while riding my motorcycle. I got thrown off my motorcycle and landed underneath a parked SUV and my motorcycle almost landed on me. It all felt unreal. Ironically, the ambulance took me back to work ( I work at a hospital ) and came in as a Trauma. My finger was bleeding and had pain on my right leg. I didn't lose consciousness and I was aware of everything that was happening around me. After calling my family and told them the situation, I took some time to search for a lawyer. Came across the Law Offices of Brian Breiter. After sending a virtual consultation request, Brian calls me directly to hear out what happened and he explained to me what the next steps would be. He took on my case and I felt more at ease while I was at the hospital. I ended with a finger laceration, metacarpal fracture on my left pinky, right scapula fracture, non-displaced fracture on my right 3rd rib and hematoma on my right thigh. After being discharged from the hospital, Brian informs me that the person who hit me was uninsured. I got worried. I thought I that point Brian wouldn't continue with my case. I was mistaken. Brian and Marc continued with my case knowing the other person was uninsured. They also handled the insurance coming after me (parked SUV). I didn't have to deal with that headache. Since the other person didn't have insurance, Brian and Marc managed to get the maximum coverage from my own insurance. I would highly recommend Brian and his team. Shout-out to his teammates Natalie and Tatiana for answering my emails. Lastly, I am very grateful I recovered from my injuries. No physical limitations. Thank you all!!

Fantastic straight shooters who will make sure you get what you deserve
Like many people during the pandemic I took up cycling as a means to get out of the house and get some exercise in. Riding on the streets on Los Angeles is dangerous business, and even with all the precautions I took, a helmet and lights and being radically attentive, I got hit and I got hurt. The next day I realized I had been hurt bad. I had gone to the hospital the night before, which as you can imagine during early pandemic was terrifying. Brian was recommended to me by a friend so I reached out to him to see if he could help. My bike was damaged, I was damaged, and sadly, once again stuck on the couch which I so desperately was trying to get off of in heat of the pandemic. Brian was quick to answer, and immediately put me at ease. His conversational style of getting the details along with his general calm demeanor made it very easy to walk him through what happened and the specifics of how my injuries felt. His office was quick to get all the necessary details and even gathered all the paperwork from the hospital taking all the headache out of the process. The initial processs of getting the bike repaired and costs for the ambulance and hospital were handled quickly, albeit by an anemic insurance policy by the person who hit me. Brian was able to find other solutions for the injuries and the toll they took and still take on me today by looking into other way to ensure I was compensated for what would be a lasting issue. He told me to be patient, and it would all work out. I wasn't always patient, but he always put me at ease, again, with his calming manner. In the end I was awarded a settlement which immensely helped me deal with the ongoing physical issues I faced. Brian and his team are fantastic straight shooters who will make sure you get what you deserve.

Strength in Hard Times - Thank you!
This review is long overdue mostly because reliving what I went through is difficult for me, but I will say that the one gleaming highlight of my situation was being represented by Brian Breiter and Mark Rubashkin who handled my case. I don’t know how to express how grateful I am to them and ALL of the excellent people in their office. Every interaction was informative, encouraging, and they always took the time for my calls and to make sure I understood what was going on throughout the process. Even when everything slowed down due to covid, they kept me in the loop. I’d detailed my case to other lawyers but got turned away because they were afraid of my case. I knew when I met with Brian that it was different. Overall, I felt like I was truly being heard when I spoke. Brian’s team not only triumphed in the end, they actually helped me feel less alone the whole time while I dealt with a miserable situation. They had empathy for all the physical and emotional pain I was going through due to my neck injury and the depleted quality of life it caused. They gave me strength to keep fighting for myself. This case took several years but they didn’t give up and didn’t let me give up either. Not only that, they made sure I received the thorough medical treatment that I desperately needed when I was scared I couldn’t pay for it. Their office also helped me navigate all the medical paperwork and referrals which would have otherwise been overwhelming. I am now in a much better place both physically and mentally, and since my (incredible) settlement have been focusing on making up for lost time. I am eternally grateful that I found Brian’s office, and if you’re going through a personal injury caused by someone else, I highly recommend reaching out to them as well.

Compassion, relentless action, stellar results
I was in a horrible hit-from-behind accident where I was stopped at a red light and got smashed into. My rear fender was pushed all the way through the hatch back space into my back seat. My head went back and forth hard enough to throw my glasses as far back as they could go in the car! My neck immediately presented with pain, but in a state of semi-shock I declined a ride to the hospital. Since I already knew Brian and it came up in conversation between us I was able to be guided by him to take action to engage in a process that would lay the ground work for me to advocate for myself in the event of further difficulties arising. Sure enough, after going to the ER and consulting a doctor arranged by the Brian's office and my pain not subsiding, it became clear that my spine needed attention and I began a course of physical therapy. Sometimes these types of proceedings don't move so swiftly (at one point I would have thought that no result would come) but sure enough, this stellar team was keeping tabs and continuously moving the process forward and in the end I received a settlement far, far greater than I could have imagined. Not only is everyone that I dealt with in the office personable and compassionate, but they are relentless in their pursuit of getting a great result for their clients - no matter how long it takes. I was utterly impressed with everyone on the team that worked on my case and beyond satisfied with the result.
