Breiter's law firm, professional, attentive & quick response

I hired Brian and his team after I was attacked by a pitbull and nearly loss a finger. I am a professional who deals with insurance companies to lawyers in my business. I knew immediatly I needed to hire a lawyer who had extensive experience with injury cases to deal with the insurance company. Bria...n immediatly worked on the case and was able to get the case settled with the insurance company. His office is stayed on the case and communicated with me when they were about to file to what to expect and or outcomes. Now I can focus back on work and rehabiltating my hand so I can write/paint again.

Dream Team

Two and a half years ago, many aspects of my life changed in an instant. I was struck in the head by an unsecured pilates reformer board while simply shopping at a clothing sample sale at a pilates studio. I didn't "pass out" as many expect one would from being struck on the head. At the time, I actu...ally thought I was fine and proceeded to drive home and continue on with my day, only thinking that I had some neck pain. As the week went on, things got a bit worse. I was diagnosed with a concussion the next morning and proceeded to go downhill as the week continued. My husband watched me as I was unable to care for my three kids and didn't know what to do. Concussions were unchartered territory for us so he called an old friend Brian Breiter for guidance. Brian wouldn't give my husband, Adam, any legal advice at all, even though that's his area of expertise. He said there wouldn't be any discussion of legal terms until we figure out my medical situation as health comes first. He advised Adam to get me to the ER where then I was advised to go to a neurologist. **This was the first of many times Brian and his group put my health and my medical care far above anything else.*** It was December and we all know how difficult it can be to get a doctor appointment at any time, let alone the holidays. Brian and Mark helped me get a neurologist appointment right away when any other doctor we called couldn't see me for months. Over the last two years, from the first neurologist to other neurologists to psychologists and more, Brian has helped me get appointments with doctors that helped me get answers when it seemed as if there were no answers. He encouraged me to keep trying to get better when I just wanted to crawl into bed and give up. He helped me see that things will continue to get better when I felt myself falling back down. When he didn't have the answer I was looking for, he reminded me that it was probably time for me to go back to the doctor (I'm not usually a person who goes to the doctor often!). More often than not, he would make me laugh when I wanted to cry. Most importantly, Brian was always there with a gentle reminder that this can be a long process and not to give up. That's just a part of what Brian did, he really did focus on my health first- because that's the kind of person he is. But the reality is, you are probably reading this review because you are interested in him as an attorney and this is where he shines above all. We attempted several times to settle with the defense to no avail. Brian tried very hard to work with the other side to come to reasonable terms but throughout the entire process, that never happened. After three failed mediations, and listening to Brian's advice, we ended up going to trial. I was nervous heading into court but it turns out there is no one else I would rather have by my side during this entire experience. In the courtroom, I sat with Brian Breiter, Jeff Twomey, and Steve Hoffman. Mr. Twomey is a very impressive young attorney with a great career ahead of him. Mr. Hoffman blew me away with his medical knowledge and his ability to depose and cross examine the medical experts in the case. He could "out-doctor" any doctor on the stand! Mr. Breiter kept the entire courtroom engaged, entertained, and informed during the entire six day trial. His opening statement and closing argument solidified why he's considered one of the best. The jury, with only a short two hour deliberation, unanimously sided with us and awarded us more than ten times the amount that the defense ever offered in any mediation. IF I HAD TO GO THROUGH THIS EXPERIENCE AGAIN, I'D WISH FOR THE SAME DREAM TEAM OF BRIAN BREITER AND HIS OFFICE

My experience with attorney Brian Breiter and his law firm.

We selected attorney Brian Breiter to handle our case after a serious accident. -I had a broken neck and two mid back spine fractures. My friend’s vision was affected because eyes vitreous detachment, and Brian appeared to have the analytical skills, communication and judgement to handle our incid...ent of premise liability. Recently the case was settled and I received a substantial compensation. My friend received a smaller settlement, but was not charged the contracted 40% legal fees. I thought that it was going to be difficult to type a review because some leftover hands limitations-and the emotions attached, however, the biggest difficulty is finding the best words to describe the exceptional service we received from this firm. Where do I begin? Once out of the hospital the idea of getting involved in any litigations was terrifying. I was reluctant to start any legal case. I did not have the energy, and I was afraid, worry and very symptomatic after my neck emergency surgery and dealing with all medical providers Finally, I realized that I needed to fight for my life and time was of 'the essence', and that it was better to be compensated than confronting the cost of life, and the possibility of more medical interventions or special care later. At first even though we felt Brian Breiter had the personality and knowledge to handle our case, I was concerned, since in this culture of lawyer and client relationship many attorneys do not return phone calls leaving the clients in limbo. This was not the case here, they were always, always, available. They answered all our calls, and responded to all our questions no matter how busy they were. Brian is a trial lawyer he can be firm but he also has a compassionate nature, - he is also an actor, and this is an asset that enhances his logical mind. In time, we got to know also lawyer Mark Rubaskin, and what a great attorney he is. In many instances, he counseled me to stay strong, when I was in pain and doubt and I wanted to quit everything and so overwhelmed that I wanted to settle early but he convinced me to the contrary. They work very well together and are on top of things. What a great team: Harmony, Expertise and Experience. Later, in the mid of the process, I read two depositions done by Brian taken and we were impressed with his concise articulation, his knowledge and arguments. He could spot weaknesses in the opposition and make it work to our benefit. It was clear that we were in good hands, and I stopped wanting to read more of the reports. Brian is a brilliant persuasive negotiator as he demonstrated in our two mediations Thank you, Brian and Mark. My life has changed, but your skills, made possible for me to write this review to help other victims to recover their life to whatever degree is possible.

Review for Brian J Breiter, Attorney At Law

I acknowledge that a deck of cards isn’t always fair. It can simply be the luck of the draw. I unfortunately suffered after a horrible car accident. My quick reflexes most likely along with my well-built car saved my life. I was unfortunately hit by a 23 year old who had fallen asleep at the whee...l while being drunk and convicted of his second DUI. He was traveling at very high speeds at what I assumed to be over 80 miles an hour out of an alley plowing into my driver’s side of my car while off to pick up some frozen yogurt with my wife at the time. We were hit hard; the car was an absolute wreck. The accident was horrendous as imagined and on the local news. My only thoughts at the time were the fight or flight reactions, to ensure my screaming wife was safe and then to see if the guy who hit us would survive as I thought he would soon drown due to the gushing 40 foot fire hydrant that was engulfing over us. The driver was unconscious, his car was upside-down as he had driven inside a home. I’m unsure how many times we had spun, and w/o going into all the emotions and what I recall to this date I was taken away on a stretcher due to neck pains. This tough, thick skinned guy who has never called out sick in his 22 year professional career went to work to run his kitchen the following morning and later learned he had a 6 mm herniated disc that needed to either be fused or replaced with an artificial disc. We took legal action, and at first thought hope was thin as our current insurance wasn’t at the level we had wanted, and the driver was thought to be illegal and uninsured. We hired an attorney that was referred by a fellow family acquaintance that helped start the legal process. Within the first few weeks I was under so much stress I thought I was having a heart attack and rushed to the emergency room. Life was challenging, I was under so much stress and tired and regrettably agreed to end a marriage that I will always regret not suffering through more and taking each other back. Soon after a long time friend and well respected peer recommended that I change to his personal attorney for stronger legal representation. I undertook an artificial disc replacement surgery, following a second spine surgery and learning I had a fractured scaphoid in my left wrist and a tear in my right shoulder that also needed surgeries. My new attorney became ill and had developed lung cancer and unfortunately passed away within 6 weeks of learning of his disease. I then fell into another attorneys care as I had no choice and my previous attorney’s office needed to start my litigation with an attorney to represent my case. Things became very unorganized, and as we became close to trial I was feeling very frustrated as my new my attorney wasn’t leading me to the direction I needed him to achieve. I needed an attorney that was a fighter, an attorney with a rock star reputation that wouldn’t take no for an answer and believed in his clients. I was so fed up with my 3rd attorney as we were not prepared for mediation and poorly prepared for trail. My attorney didn’t have the experience to take on the reigns and was simply setting my case up for settlement w/o taking the necessary steps to showcase how strong my case was. This is not acceptable for my life, and many others would have simply stayed on with him. He would have accepted a minimal settlement to ensure he didn’t have to tackle on expenses with building my case. I then seeked new council. I spoke to all my doctors who are respected and considered the very best in their field. With the help and recommendation of my doctors and luckily a close friend I found Brian Breiter as the legal counsel that I seeked. I had considered others that had won multi million dollar settlements. Ultimately I made my decision based on Brian Breiter’s overwhelmingly large number of personal reviews. This is not the norm for clients to make

Posted by C Jane | March 29, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

My car was totaled, life wrecked but with Brian & Mark's help we made it through...

My car was totaled two years ago and my thumb was hurt bad and my spine was fractured (T5) and my fiance was hurt too. The accident was not our fault. We searched online for the BEST lawyer we could find and selected Brian Breiter to help us through this very difficult time because he had won awards ...for his work. Me and my fiance's lives were turned upside down and I am still hurting. Brian Breiter and Mark were the best the whole time. We just trusted them to help us. They got me the maximum amount and we are forever eternally grateful. Advice to anyone... this process takes time.... but make sure to wait it out. You will ALWAYS get more money in the end if you have a solid case. I didn't have a car for two years NOW I DRIVE A REALLY NICE LEXUS. I know every case is different, but one this I do know for sure... If anyone ever hurts me in an accident again, I will call Brian. We thank you guys from the bottom of our hearts - C. C. & Chris :)
