God Blessed Us With You and your Team

A few years ago my dad was driving home from work. All of a sudden a he was smashed from behind by a semi truck. He was in pretty bad shape. He didn’t go to the hospital right away but we knew something was wrong. First we were referred to an attorney from a friend. Without knowing better we went to ...them and it was a big mistake. They didn’t get my dad to the right kind of doctor and basically left him on his own. After a while we knew we needed to find him a better lawyer. We looked online and found Brian Breiter’s office. It just so happened that a good friend also knew Mr. Breiter and said this is the guy for you and you can trust him. As soon as we sat down with Brian and his partner Mark, we knew we came to the right law firm. They immediately set my dad up with a great spine doctor. He made sure that my dad got the right kind of physical therapy and then he had to get MRI’s. After a long time of trying to get better the spine doctor explained that the only option for my dad to live without pain everyday would be to have a surgery to his neck and back. It was a scary and big decision but it was the right thing to do because right after the surgery my dad immediately felt improvement. The recovery was long but it was worth it. The whole time Brian and Mark would answer our questions and make my dad feel comfortable about the case. Brian speaks very good Spanish so that helped a lot because even though my dad speaks English he felt more comfortable speaking with Brian in Spanish. The case had to be filed in the court because the insurance for the trucking company tried to say that my dad’s injuries were not caused but the accident. Brian and Mark spent a lot of time making sure my dad was prepared for his deposition. He felt ready and did a very good job telling the truth about what happened. Finally after a long battle they were able to settle the case for the full amount of the trucking company’s insurance. My dad had a lot of medical bills because he didn’t have health insurance but Mark was able to get the surgery and doctor bills reduced to an amount that was very fair. In the end we were so glad we were able to get Brian to accept our case, because it would not have been the same result and most important my dad wouldn’t have gotten better. We are so grateful for Brian Breiter for helping our family. The really treated us kindly and they cared about us, that was something we will never forget. Please call them if you need help they will treat you right. Thank you Mark and Brian. We love you guys.

Great Lawyer

I had a really bad dog bite injury to my mouth by a very large dog. I got patched up in the ER very roughly so I felt very hopeless that I would ever look the same. I contacted multiple lawyers who told me that I would have to wait 6 months before seeing a plastic surgeon as the results of the deform...ity would affect the case. Luckily, I found Brian through Yelp based on his great reviews, and the first thing he did was send me to a plastic surgeon to get a reconstruction, literally the next day. He said it wouldn’t affect my case and that the most important thing was making sure that I would have the deformity fixed as soon as possible. I knew he was the one then and there because I could tell that he truly cared about my well being and showed that he could immediately get things done for me. Brian and his team were also easy to contact by phone or text, on both weekdays or weekends.

Brian Breiter to the Rescue!

For someone who rarely writes online reserve, I am admittedly compelled to share with the world my experiences with the Law Offices of Brian Breiter. To say that I am lucky to have found this firm is an understatement. In mid-May of this year, I was struck by a reckless driver while walking my dog.... My dog escaped damage, but I did not. During the first of my two E.R. stops that night, I literally researched and discovered Mr. Breiter  without having any prior knowledge of him. Mind you, this was a Sunday afternoon. So, I called his number and left a message. Without minutes, I received a call back from Mr. Breiter, who surprisingly offered advice for what would became a nightmare situation. I had suffered a broken foot and a ruptured right quadriceps tendon. Not a good situation. But throughout my recovery and dealing with insurance companies,  Mr. Breiter and his associate, Mark, were thorough and consistent in their efforts to communicate with me, and more important, seek the most beneficial settlement on my behalf. Whenever I called, Mr. Breiter answered. Whenever I texted, he replied. Whenever I needed clarification, Mr. Breiter explained. His attitude was always professional and I liken him to a champion of the little man, though I am actually a big guy who suffered injuries that would bring anyone to their knees. I highly recommend the Law Offices of Brian Breiter for any and all personal-injury services. I was able to meet Mr. Breiter in person when I picked up my settlement check, and for some reason, he has a larger-than-life-sized replica of Iron Man in his office. Now I know why. Dude is a superhero. Thanks, Mr. Breiter, for all you do!

Superb Attorney

The men at this law firm are not only superb attorneys but also true gentlemen. They treated us with the utmost respect and kindness. They truly cared about our wellbeing, as they fought for us in the legal battlefield. My husband was in a bad car accident which had dire results. He had to susp...end going to med school, was unable to work, and endured a complicated back surgery. The person at fault that hit my husband was underinsured, which complicated matters further. As you know there are so many attorneys to choose from. Quite overwhelming when you are in a stressful situation. We feel blessed to have found this team. They are two outstanding attorneys. You will not get lost in the frey, as so often happens at large law practices. They were there for us at all hours. Checking on my husband while he was in the hospital, meanwhile diligently handling our case. From negotiating our hospital billing to dueling with our car insurance companies to get the best possible settlement, all of this done seamlessly. They carried the burden of this tragedy for us, so we could go on with our lives. These men won our case and got us the money we deserved. They truly raise the bar when it comes to the law profession and we are both so grateful they were there when we needed them. This sounds like a lot of words but "They are the real deal." No flash. Just pure integrity, grit, intelligence and perseverance. We can't say thank you enough.

Highly recommend

I was involved in a serious multi-car accident in February when I was hit by an intoxicated driver. My car was totaled and I was injured. The course of events that night was so egregious and the fault was so squarely on the intoxicated driver that I wanted to ensure I was protected and sought legal... representation. I had never needed an attorney before, so I researched and spoke to a number of them. All were very interested in taking my case, some to the point of calling me back constantly. When I spoke to Tim at the Law Offices of Brian Breiter, however, rather than feeling pressured, I felt reassured. And instead of saying stressful things like, “You need to get your car out of the tow yard as soon as possible,” like several other attorneys I spoke to, Tim simply said, “You should go back to the doctor if you're still in pain.” In the end, I was able to get the maximum insurance settlement with Tim's help. I would definitely recommend giving this firm a call if you're in need of representation.
