Excellent and honest Attorney

My story is a sad one with a happy ending. I was crossing the street leaving work in the crosswalk when a car stopped to let me cross. Unfortunately the car behind him did not stop crashed into that car and struck me. I was almost killed. I had multiple fractures and was taken to Cedar Sinai. thank g...oodness I had great doctors. However I did not know what to do after, that's when I found Brian Breiter and his law firm. I search the Internet and found many different offices but I chose Brian based on the reviews he had. The reviews of his office were different than other law firm's because the clients really told their stories. That's why I chose Mr. Breiter's office. After the accident I was so badly hurt I could not travel but when I called Mr. Breiter, he came to my house. He went directly to the police station and was able to get a hold of the report. After I was healed, Brian was able to settle for the full amount with the insurance company and was able to get a huge reduction on my medical and hospital liens, that really helped! Mr. Breiter was always there to answer my phone calls or my texts, and I was thankful for his advice. I hope you were never in a situation like mine, but if you are make sure you call the law offices of Brian Breiter, they will help you.

Saved our family

El año pasado mi esposo y padre de mis dos hijos pequeños, murió en un terrible accidente en la autopista 405 a las tres de la mañana en una noche de niebla en Los Ángeles. No hubo testigos oculares y la policía no pudo determinar por qué ocurrió el accidente. Todo lo que sé es que la persona más imp...ortante de mi vida me fue quitada. No sabía qué hacer y me siento completamente perdido. Mi buen amigo ha conocido a Brian Breiter personalmente durante muchos años y me dijo que lo llamara. Por difícil que fuera, fui a su oficina y me senté con él y su compañero Mark Rubashkin y le conté sobre mi esposo y lo importante que era para mi familia. Brian y Marc instantáneamente me hacen sentir cómodo y como iban a cuidar de mi familia. Inmediatamente presentó una demanda y contrató a un experto en accidentes para determinar cómo y por qué ocurrió el accidente. Tuve que dar la deposición y lo hicieron mis hijos sobre lo mucho que aman a su padre. Brian fue y tomó la declaración del conductor que vivía fuera del estado. La compañía de seguros no quería pagar porque dijeron que su conductor no tenía la culpa, pero pudimos obligarlos a pagar una cantidad muy importante. Al final tuvimos que ir a la corte y pedir al juez que aprobara el acuerdo para mis dos hijos porque eran menores de edad. Aunque mi marido se ha ido para siempre el dinero que pudimos conseguir para mí y mis hijos nos ayudará en el camino. Brian y Mark siempre han estado allí para mí y mi familia durante este tiempo muy difícil. Son mis amigos y abogados de por vida. ¡Gracias! Cinco estrellas todo el camino. Last year my husband and father of my two small children, was killed in a terrible accident on the 405 freeway at three in the morning on a foggy night in Los Angeles. There were no eyewitnesses and the police were unable to determine why the accident happened. All I know is that the most important person in my life was taken away from me. I did not know what to do, and I feel completely lost. My good friend has known Brian Breiter personally for many years and told me to call him. As hard as it was, I went to his office and sat with him and his partner Mark Rubashkin and told him about my husband and how important he was to my family. Brian and Marc instantly make me feel comfortable and like they were going to take care of my family. Immediately filed a lawsuit and hired an accident expert to determine how and why the accident happened. I had to give deposition and so did my children about how much they love their father. Brian went and took the deposition of the driver who lived out of state. Insurance company did not want to pay because they said their driver was not at fault but we were able to force them to pay a very substantial amount. Eventually we had to go to court and get the judge to approve the settlement for my two children because they were minors. Although my husband is gone forever the money that we were able to get for me and my children will help us down the road. Brian and Mark have always been there for me and my family throughout this very difficult time. They are my friends and Lawyers for life. Thank you! Five stars all the way.

My Experience

It is with great pleasure that I write this personal account of my experience with the Law Offices of Brian Breiter. Nearly two years ago, I was rear ended while completely stopped on the freeway in what ended up being a 4 car collision. Add in a touch of confusion, lies, a deceitful defendant, a...n absolutely uncooperative, morally suspect insurance company, and you have a recipe for disaster. It is popular knowledge that when one is rear ended, the driver in the back is automatically at fault. Common sense dictates that it isn’t any more open and shut than that. But when the defendant’s insurance company (whose name rhymes with MERCURY) employs a year and half filibuster that would make Congress look like a well oiled machine, rectitude and scruples are all thrown out with the bathwater. My car was wrecked. I was injured. It is unfortunate, but in the world we live in most are unconcerned with fairness, with giving what is due. You will need someone in YOUR corner intellectually armed to the teeth—someone able to adeptly traverse the legal morass that awaits you. All throughout this long and arduous journey, Brian and Mark have been absolutely stellar. They have approached my case with compassion, fortitude, and dogged perseverance. Yes they actually care. You quickly begin to see that they are sincerely dedicated in their fight against the reprehensible nature at how victims are grossly mistreated by the insurance companies. At every juncture, point, and line item, the insurance company attempted to swindle, bamboozle, and deceive. And at every turn Brian was there to make sure they did not. Due to the tireless work of Brian and Mark, in the end I received the MAXIMUM settlement for my injury claim. Furthermore, they went above and beyond to make sure I received an excellent settlement for property damage and loss of use. I give Brian my 100% full endorsement and would send any of my family and friends to him for representation.

Brian Is the Best!

Brian and his team are our own personal superheroes (with Brian leading as Iron Man since he looks just like Robert Downey, Jr.)! I recommend Brian to anyone that is ever involved in an accident. No matter how big or small, they will take care of you. My husband and I had only been in LA for 5 mo...nths and married for 6 months when I received that fateful call that my husband was involved in a near fatal motorcycle accident. We had no friends, family or decent jobs and all I could think of was how scared, lost and completely in over my head I was. After researching several different attorneys, I came across Brian Breiter. Brian was highly rated on yelp and very helpful when I spoke with him on the phone. He was knowledgable, caring, and never once pressured me into choosing him. Even some of the other lawyers would ask me who my top choices were and when I mentioned Brian's name they all agreed that Brian would be a great choice. Brian was more than generous and willing to help a young couple out. After the accident, I was running around dealing with insurance, doctors, appointments, surgeries and spending time with my husband all while still trying to keep up my schedule at the restaurant. When I finally asked Brian to be our attorney, he swooped in and helped alleviate some of the stress that had been building inside of me. Brian was able to put my mind to ease that he would do what needed to be done on the legal side and to not only focus on my husband's recovery but also focus on myself. Brian did more then just the legal side. He actually cared for my husband and I beyond clients. He helped us emotionally and told us how everything would go and not to worry about anything. Brian and his team are amazing, and in a terrible situation they allowed us to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you Brian!

A car accident case

My mother and i are very grateful to Mr. Brian for helping us. I got hit by a car on a parking lot and Brian helped us increase the amount of money that we were supposed to get as a compensation from the insurance company. The case seemed complicated, but in the end we received much more money than w...e expected. He was very polite and attentive when answering all our questions. We are happy that we chose him to work with our case and next time we need an attorney we will definitely come back! Thank you, Brian and Mark! You have helped us a lot and we really appreciate your work. Alice&Yulia
