Wonderful attorney and excellent team

There aren't enough words to say just how great Brian and his team are. They were able to help my wife and I during a difficult time and were so patient throughout the process, explaining the next steps, and letting us know what to expect. They never made us feel like we were bothering them and spoke... to us for as long as we needed, and they were very available. Mark was the person I was in contact with the most frequently and he truly is a treasure. I mean seriously, what a guy, never made us feel rushed always had time and was just really patient and thorough. Brian and his team were able to get us the maximum settlement on our case and we are grateful. This team will not let you down. Thanks Everyone we really appreciate it!

Best Office in LA

In July of 2016, while I was in at a personal crossroads and going thru a particularly hard time in my life, I was rear ended by a drunk driver. If you're lucky enough to have never been struck by another vehicle, let me tell you-- it is one of the most terrifying experiences one could have the misfo...rtune of going thru. After regaining my composure the best I could all things considered, I got out of my car and proceeded to watch the driver slowly back out of what used to be my bumper, and drive away. I was left completely in shock and unsure of how to proceed. Law enforcement showed up and assisted to a degree, but it wasn't until the next day that the true help showed up. Not having needed legal representation in the past, I did research online about lawyers in LA and found Brian's office. His was the only call I made, and that the best choice I could have possibly made that day. Brian himself picked up, listened to what happened, gave me advice, was patient and helpful. They took my case, and every day since the accident Brian, Mark Rubashkin, and Jeff Twomey have been lifesavers. I saw very quickly that I could not have navigated this complicated process of insurance companies, getting treatment, and fixing the chaos this accident caused in my life on my own. This accident turned my world upside down in regards to my physical health, and had a devastating affect on my every day existence. They've been there for me in every single way I needed, and have helped me thru this tough past few years. I could not have imagined a team of lawyers doing a better and more thorough job then these guys did. We ended up with a settlement that was beyond anything I would have realistically hoped for or thought possible. Thanks again guys-- my life would not be what it is today had you not been there to help me thru this difficult time in my life. I was lucky and fortunate to find you. Sam Duffy

Wrongful death case

We were in the search for a good wrongfull death lawyer looked up some reviews and ran into Brian we decided to give him a call to see how he was he was great from the start .He answer all the questions we had and told us we should file a lawsuit case to see where it leads us . We had lost our father... to a drunk driver so we pursued the case Brain did everything he could even though nothing can ease the pain something can help our mother who was a stay home mom and never worked is really hard to to get a job with no history and not knowing English. Brain went out of his way to get the most he can from this bum he hired specialist to track everything he had since the guy was just a drunk who lived off his dads money nothing really in his name just a lowlife . Nothing can bring him back but something helps pay the Bill's he was a great person and understand the tragedy and always had us in mind during the whole case to make things as smooth as possible . Hopefully we dont ever need a injury lawyer again but if we do or anyone does his a great lawyer and person .He doesn't do it for the money but to help you.We really appreciate the work he did for us .

Highly Highly Recommend!!!

I cannot even begin to express how much I recommend Brian Breiters office for any and all legal services that they provide! In my case I was in an awful car accident one year ago. A woman ran a red light and my suv was totaled I suffered a herniated disc in my neck, a bulging disc in my lower back an...d rotator cuff tear. I have never been in an accident previous to this ever and was so mentally distraught because I have worked as a personal trainer my entire career, this accident affected every part of my life and was traumatizing! I spoke to and hired Brian Breiter and literally from our first phone call I felt 100% confident that he and his office would help me and I was not wrong. He was thorough, honest, caring and kept me informed every step of the way! His office is seriously amazing and Jeff and Mark are two of the nicest and most helpful people I’ve ever met! They took everyone of my phones calls and even listened to me while I cried many times, they worked extremely hard on my case, set up any appointments I needed while I was on the phone with them! I received my full settlement in only a year from my accident it was the fastest I’ve ever heard a case being settled, ever! They were so incredibly great in all aspects right down to negotiating down my medical bills. Again I cannot recommend them more, they were like angels in such an awful situation they are the only reason I got through the entire situation with my sanity! They are truly amazing and I’ve never met harder working and honest attorneys in my life! I highly highly recommend them!

Great attorney and great guy

If you're looking for a lawyer who shoots straight and responds quickly you've found your guy. Luckily, I haven't had the need of a personal injury attorney but I've recommended Brian to friends who have, and they sing Brian's praises, saying he's really sharp and great to work with. ...Brian has also helped me a number of times with consultations. And he has recommended other lawyers who practice in fields he doesn't cover and they were great recommendations. I really can't recommend him enough.
