Dedicated and Kind

Mr. Breiter represented me in a personal injury case and not only secured a fair judgement, he made sure that I received the highest quality care and rehabilitation as well. He was incredibly patient with me during a time that I wanted every answer to every question yesterday, and I still count him a...mong my trusted friends even after my case was resolved. You cannot go wrong with Brian Breiter.

Brain Trauma

Brian has been our attorney for over three years. He is very compassionate and knows injury law! Brian just settled our case out of court and for full dollar amount. He guided us correctly and honestly. He knows the process and we were very pleased with Brian. My daughter was in a severe car wreck wh...ich has left her with brain trauma. It has been a long hard road but Brian knows this subject well. He guided us every step of the way and we couldn't have asked for a better attorney. Brian is honest,hard working and will go to bat for you. He is who you want on your team. Thank you Brian. We appreciate you so much!!

Best lawyer

Brian Breiter handled my car accident. I was hit by a drunk driver and suffered a pretty severe and chronic neck injury. He and his team were very responsive and made sure I got the maximum settlement possible. From my initial phone call to my settlement, he made himself available to me. I never fe...lt like I was a bother. I highly recommend!!!!

great guy, amazing lawyer

I went with a winner. Brian Breiter is a winner. If you truly have a solid case, just know that if you go with Brian, you will be assured of the best possible outcome. Four years ago, I was rear-ended at a stoplight. The impact caused a precious injury, two herniated discs in my lower back, to ...recur. It ended up being a complicated case, but Brian and his team handled it with such care and concern, pushing hard when it was needed, but being patient and cautious when the situation called for it. He rolls with all the punches and is ten steps ahead at every turn. I ended up requiring more than one surgery, and extensive physical therapy. Brian was always a source of support and was the best advocate I could have asked for. Many lawyers I spoke with were hesitant to take my case on because of the preexisting condition. Brian didn't flinch at all. He came at it with the same intensity that he would with any winning case. And we won - big. He ended up getting me a substantial award for the case, and although I wish the accident hadn't happened, I'm glad that he was there to help me with this. I can't do all the things that I did before the accident, and am restricted with what I can do physically and work-wise, so I needed all the help I could get financially. I also lost a lot of work and money during my recoveries, and Brian recognized this and pressed the insurance company for more. While I can never fully recover physically, the sum that Brian helped me get will help in the coming years financially, and will allow me to continue to treat my injury. Dealing with insurance and opposition lawyers is an awful experience. But Brian made it bearable. He was the best guard dog against their attacks. He killed them with kindness, fought their callousness with ferocity, and even told several good jokes to break the ice now and then. It ended up being a really great learning experience, but I am glad that Brian was there to help me. The case took years to settle, but with patience, Brian's guidance, and the support of his dutiful staff - especially Mark and Rita - I was never left in the dark. Calls were returned same day, emails answered immediately, even on the weekend. Basically, I just can't recommend Brian Breiter enough. He is a great guy, the BEST personal injury attorney in Los Angeles, possibly earth, and I am proud and happy to now call him a friend. Thank you Brian for making one of the worst chapters in my life have a happy ending. I will be forever grateful.

Posted by Karen | December 15, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

I am so thankful to have met Brian Breiter. He has helped me and my family so much!

My dad was involved in a truck accident. He was cut off by a driver of a commercial limousine service and lost control of the truck he was driving while trying to avoid hitting the vehicle that cut him off. He was rushed to the hospital with life threatening injuries and put into the ICU where he spe...nt the next month. I did not know what would happen to our family because my dad is the head of the household. Words cannot describe how we felt when we saw our father in the hospital. I had so many questions about what we needed to do to make sure all his treatment was taken care of and our household expenses were covered while my dad was in this critical state. I knew that I needed an attorney but did not know where to look. I started looking online and uploaded my contact info to a lawyer referral website. I had so many attorneys call me and I was so confused! I did not know who to trust. It was a very hard moment for us. I decided to do some research and found Brian Breiter! I read many positive testimonials about his services. I called him on a Saturday afternoon asking him for help! I think he felt my desperation through the phone, because I was hoping to meet with him sometime during the following week, but he said he could meet with me that same afternoon. Brian took time off his personal family time to meet me that same afternoon. It was so impromptu that he had to come to his office in t-shirt and shorts. I really appreciated that gesture. I was impressed by how well he received me. He listened to me patiently and after I was done he explained everything that could happen with great detail and I knew that I could trust him to take with my dad's case. From then on, Brian helped us to navigate through the steps we needed to take to ensure our family's wellbeing. He even referred a great workers comp lawyer, Lester Friedman, to handle the workers comp portion of my dad's case since my dad's accident happened during his work. It has been a long road for my dad's recovery. It was a long road for the settlement of the lawsuit against the insurance of the limousine that caused the accident. Brian was able to maximize our settlement by negotiating the workers comp lien for the medical care my dad received down to pennies on the dollar. Now that the legal portion of this ordeal is over, I can look back and thank Brian for taking on my dad's case and handling it with professionalism. Brian was always available when I needed to ask questions and never gave us a reason to worry, he was even able to speak with my parents in Spanish because Brian is Bilingual, which is a huge plus! I recommend Brian Breiter if you should find yourself in the same unfortunate situation as our family was in. Now we can focus on my dad's continuing recovery. Brian and his team are welcoming, compassionate, and knowledgeable and if I ever need a lawyer again I will be contacting them immediately.
