Best Lawyer ever!

Words cannot express how grateful I am for Brian and his team! I was involved In a car accident. I suffered from a pretty bad injury and found myself In the hospital. I was confused and didn’t know what to do. Brian and his team were lifesavers! They calmed me down and let me know that all was going ...to be okay which allowed me to properly heal. I don’t remember everyone’s names but shout out to Brian, Natalie and Chance just to name a few. I would most definitely recommend The Law Offices Of Brian Breiter to ALL my loves ones! Thank you again for all your guidance and allowing me to heal while you guys took care of everything else! I wouldn’t know what to do without you guys! Simply the best team out there!

Posted by Bob C. | July 07, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Slip and Fall Accident

Extremely Satisfied Client

The Law Offices of Brian Breiter took on my David vs. Goliath case against a large theatre chain, a slip and fall where I was badly injured, requiring numerous surgeries, including a two level fusion in my cervical spine. After 18 months I realized I was going nowhere trying to deal directly with th...is large corporation and fortunately contacted Mr. Breiter. From the first moment my wife and I met with Brian and his team, we knew we had made the right decision. My only regret was not contacting them sooner. With the leadership of Mr. Breiter; Tim McCormick, Chance Pardon and Sean Kim went to work on this case, and MAN did they work! From the get-go the defense started to delay and deny, and just flat BULLY! Mr. McCormick right away started showing me patience matters in a case like this. And with these skills, along with aforementioned Mr. Pardon and Mr. Kim, the three of them skillfully gathered the evidence and masterfully presented it to the Court and Jury. They were calm, professional gentlemen, with respect to all involved, proved our case and came away with a seven figure verdict in our favor. I am proud to have been represented by such a class firm and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone that finds themselves in need of legal representation.

From mustang to Porsche

I made a huge mistake. I was crushed by a semi truck as I was driving home from work. I trusted a friend who referred me to a local attorney, I did no research on him, I just trusted someone I barely knew. That Attorney sent me to a chiropractor. Meanwhile, I had been knocked unconscious and had ...a serious neck injury. As the haze lifted over the days after the crash, I realized that I needed a trial lawyer and not just someone who was going to try to get a quick settlement. I did my research, picked up the phone, and from the first conversation I had with Brian Breiter and Mark Rubashkin, I knew, I needed them to help me. I was so badly injured I couldn’t work for over a year. I had suffered a Trumatic brain injury, and had to get spinal surgery. This was not a small case, it was my entire life, my family. Brian and Mark made sure I saw the best doctors in town, they kept me calm when I was at my lowest, and never gave up, even when I wanted to. It took a few years, but the case resolved, and my life has been changed for the better, forever. I can now provide for my family, my body and mind have recovered, not completely, but to a great degree. I’m sad my case is over, because I’ve become friends with my lawyers, I know that sounds weird to say, but it’s true. I recently came by to visit them months after my case was over and the check had cleared, and we sat down and talked like old friends. These are the lawyers that I would refer my friends to, my family members to, pick up the phone and call them, you will know right away, like I did.

Above and Beyond

I called Brian when I was confused and scared about a legal situation. He responded quickly and explained that he was unable to help as what I needed was out of his scope of business. I replied back to thank him for responding so quickly and asked him another question out of desperation thinking he... would not answer but it was worth a shot. Much to my surprise he not only responded but said he would take time to talk to me and explain the process. Please remember - he has already told me that he cannot assist with my particular situation so he had nothing to gain and yet he took the time to call me and walk me through the process and what I needed to do next. I hope I am never in need of his services, but if I am I will definitely call because finding people who are qualified and who care is difficult!

Posted by Gabriel | July 05, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

They’re the real Avengers.

They will take great care of you, and provide whatever assistance you need. They’re the real Avengers. I cannot recommend this office enough! I was rear ended by truck hauling lumber which totaled my car and injured my back. The other driver could not provide proof of insurance, and the police ...did not provide any help whatsoever. A friend advised me to consult a personal injury attorney, specifically the Law Offices of Brian Breiter. Their offices were closed on the day of the accident however, he was able to provide a cell phone number and I was able to get the ball rolling on everything I had to do. Your auto insurance company is out to make the costs of your accident as least expensive as possible, with zero regard to your health, your safety, or your physical well-being. Brian Breiter and his team seek to get you justly compensated for whatever property and physical damage you may have suffered and will potentially suffer years from now. They took care of everything, provided a rental car, set me up with The Joint and Spine Institute with Dr. Beny Charchian and his incredible team, scheduled an MRI, and also kindly offered to provide ride service to my appointments. The Law Office was very clear as to what I could expect and not only did they meet all those expectations, they exceeded all my wildest dreams. The spine specialist he set me up with, Dr. Beny Charchian, will also be getting raving reviews from me. The treatment he and his team provided alleviated all of my back pain. That is not hyperbole, my back feels incredible. A teacher and mentor of mine once told me, “if I had to choose between my manager/agent or my lawyer, I’m keeping my lawyer over anyone else, any day of the week.” Now I know why. Aside from my family I don’t think anyone has every advocated or fought for me as hard as Brian Breiter and his team. They were always just one phone call away. Due to the pandemic, I did not get to meet Brian until after my case had settled. When we finally met it felt like meeting up with a friend. He and another member of his team, Mark, remembered every personal detail I had mentioned in casual conversation months ago, and we were able to have a very lovely conversation while he and his team got all the contracts and my restitution squared away. This guy is so dope, we are close friends on Instagram now. If you are ever involved in a vehicular collision, don’t hesitate, CALL BRIAN BREITER. He’s not only a fighter, but incredibly friendly and Will make the experience as pleasant and painless as possible. I cannot recommend this guy enough! The Law Offices of Brian Breiter really helped me learn my rights and made me feel valued as a human being. Dealing with the law and auto insurance can be a very dehumanizing experience. Don’t let any of them push you around, get yourself a lawyer, get yourself The Law Offices of Brian Breiter, they will help you maintain or restore your dignity and get you everything you justly deserve and are entitled to.
