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...

Best Lawyer in LA
In April 2015, I was attacked by a dog which ripped open my arm and left a puncture wound on my leg. After the initial shock wore off, I realized I needed a lawyer and began my search. Having never needing a personal injury lawyer before, I didn't know where to start. It was a bit overwhelming, but B...

Awesome team!
My wife and I were viciously attacked by a pitbull on New Years Eve 2015. I was bitten in the face and 1 of our 3 small dogs was killed.

"I endorse this lawyer. When I was looking to refer my trusted clients to the best plaintiff's civil litigator in the Los Angeles area, time and time again Brian's name was given. His results are not surpassed."
"Brian's ongoing wins, verdicts, and strong positive client reviews all speak for themselves, and I listen. Since I wanted to be a part of his continuing success, I decided to join and work for him."
"I endorse this lawyer. I tried a big case against Brian before I came to work with him. Brian won the case. He's an excellent trial lawyer, knows the law and brings in large verdicts for his clients. Fortunately, he hired me after our case was completed and I can also say he runs a very competent and very happy office."
"I battled Brian Breiter for three years on behalf of my client on a serious spinal injury case with an interesting fact pattern and complex liability issues. Brian was a tough opponent and pulled no punches along the way. We were eventually able to resolve the case to the satisfaction of all parties. Throughout the case, he exhibited exemplary professionalism and integrity and earned my respect both as litigator and as a zealous advocate for his clients."
"I have known Brian as a friend, employer and colleague for over 15 years. Brian is one of the most skilled attorneys I have had the pleasure of working with and learning from. He is a dedicated, compassionate and effective attorney. Clients who choose to work with Brian can know they are getting the best."
"Brian has been a mentor to me and I couldn't ask for a better lawyer to learn from, work with and receive guidance from. Brian is truly the guru of personal injury law. There is no one I would trust more with my own or my loved ones' personal injury matter. He is a stand up professional, with the highest of legal acumen to achieve the best result in any personal injury case."
"Brian is someone I am proud to call a mentor and has played an instrumental role in my development as a lawyer. He routinely gets outstanding results for his clients and his clients can rest assured they are in excellent hands. There are few people that are "great" at what they do. Brian is one of them and his many achievements and accolades are well-deserved."
"I endorse this lawyer. In the area plaintiffs personal injury law and wrongful death law, his knowledge and understanding is second to none. Our two offices have worked closely together on a number of cases and when the case had finally concluded, his clients have rated his performance 10 out of 10 in dedication, diligence, honesty, and case outcome (settlement). Defense attorney's and insurance adjusters respect him highly and do not look to opposing him in litigation. In the area of plaintiffs personal injury law and wrongful death law, I would not endorse any other Attorney ahead of Brian Breiter."

I have seen him take many cases through trial to verdict. He is a dynamic personality both in and out of court and this works well for him in the court room. He loves what he does and it shows in every conversation with him. I strongly recommend hiring Brian for your matter and I would use him myself if and when I ever had the need."
