Great job

3 years ago I tripped on construction debris left behind by the maintenance crew for my apartment building. I remember falling forward but nothing more. I regained consciousness some minutes later. I was grateful for my Oral B electric toothbrush that night, doing all the work because I was pretty s...ure my arms needed to be glued back into their sockets. I woke early the next morning in bad pain and with new symptoms of an accident I couldn't remember. I was in this odd state of confusion during work and was all squinty-eyed trying to stay focused and failing. Even though I was dizzy, nauseous and my head hurt, it was the mind stuff that scared me. I hit the internet and read Yelp reviews and attorney websites for a couple of hours. I looked at photos that clients had posted. Some of the photos made me hesitate: my car isn't crumpled and my bicycle tires are still fully inflated. I don't have stitches, scars, or a plaster cast. I didn't call the police or an ambulance when I fell. I had a gash on one dangly arm and an abrasion on the other. I was confused and in massive pain, but neither of those photograph well. I didn't even have a witness. From my internet research, I selected a list of 5-star attorneys to call. The conversation with the first attorney was efficiently commandeered by him and went something like this: Attorney: So tell me what happened. Me: Well, I was taking some garbage out on Sunday night and I tripped... Attorney: Ouch. Okay. When can you come in? Scratch that dude (I didn't like his receptionist either). Next on the list was Brian Breiter's office. His staff handled my call perfectly. Brian and Mark Rubashkin, Esq. asked a zillion questions until they fully understood the accident and injury. I asked my own questions and made a few bad jokes. They didn't hang up. They made me feel comfortable and cared for. The three years since my accident have been hard. I was diagnosed with a bunch of bad stuff and take a bunch of pills. My daughter moved in to care for me. Sometimes I feel down. Sometimes I fall down. I understand the phrase "to battle fatigue" because sometimes I sleep for days. I gained 30 pounds from medication. I still have doctor appointments every week. Work is suffering because everything is so difficult. Through these hard three years, Brian and his legal team kept my case moving forward. My new life after the accident was so consuming of my attention that if Brian didn't carry my case, it would have gone nowhere. When my participation was needed, Brian was supportive and explained the legal processes and what was expected of me. Then one day the sun came out--Brian called and said the case was settled for the full amount. No trial, no troubles, no additional trauma: it was done. Working with Brian was so simple; I got to focus on getting well, and Brian and his team handled the rest. I would recommend Brian to anyone.

Don't hesitate!

I’m sitting still in traffic when a van plows into me from behind, totals my full-sized pickup, permanently injuring my neck, knocking me unconscious, and sending me for an ambulance ride to the hospital. Slam dunk liability, right? Wrong! The other driver’s insurance company completely ignored me. N...othing. Not even a polite response. Luckily, a friend told me to call Brian Breiter, who said basically, “Let me handle it.” And he did. Brian and his team made sure I got the medical care I needed, and they stared down the insurance company. Brian told me from the beginning it would take a long time – “They are going to drag this out and try to make you quit.” Well, it did take a long time, but we didn’t quit, and the other side eventually settled – just a couple of days before the trial was set to start. Call Brian! Or Mark or Jeff or Peter! They will take care of you like a friend.

The guy you want in your corner!

In 2017 I was injured in an auto accident after my sedan was totaled by a dump truck that ran a red light. As you might imagine, that was not great for my body and I found myself with multiple herniated discs in my neck. When I realized I was looking at a long expensive recovery and likely needing su...rgery, I reached out to several attorneys, all whom told me that they couldn't help me with my case. I was feeling dismayed, but then, through sheer luck (and some internet research), I found Brian (via Super Lawyers, where he is highly rated) and what a blessing that was. From the first call, Brian and Mark made me feel like my case was being dealt with properly and that we wouldn't be ignored. This part I feel is really important to share: They never once pressured me to settle or do anything I wasn't comfortable with. They were there to support me the entire way. When I would get worried that the case was never going to be resolved, Mark and Brian would be there to reassure me everything would be ok. After a long, slow process Brian got me a settlement I was thrilled with and we avoided going to trial, which I was very much not looking forward to, even though Brian was excited about it. Besides being excellent at lawyering, Brian is a pleasure to converse with and told me that if we went to trial he would smoke me a brisket. Since we didn't go to trial, I had to settle for a slider. I hope you never need a personal injury attorney but if you do, Brian is the one you want. He is a razor sharp, top notch trial lawyer who will not rush to settle when it's not in your best interest. I truly can't recommend him and his team enough. While I hope to never require his services again, I would never call anyone else and neither should you.

The best

Brian Breiter is a terrific attorney. My mother had an injury that left her physically disabled and emotionally scarred. Brian and his wonderful offices were able to get the full settlement amount in the most painless and compassionate way possible. My sister and I were both summoned to the depositio...n to speak about her injuries and the impact that they've had on her life since, who she was as a person and her abilities prior, and the facts of the incident itself as we remember it. Brian was incredibly forthright and patient with me. It put me at ease, so that when I was asked to speak I could be honest and genuine, and was able to take my time and give the best testimony I was capable of. The entire thing was extremely difficult, owing to the stress and pain of seeing my mother be changed by circumstances beyond her control. Having Brian there as her support was absolutely crucial and a huge relief for me and my sister. He is also extremely amiable, honest, and intelligent. I do not believe we would have had the positive outcome--monetarily, but more importantly emotionally--with any other attorney. It was extremely important to me that my mother not be overburdened by the case, as she has had rehabilitation from the injury to worry about, and Brian and his offices have went above and beyond for her. Our whole family is extremely grateful to them.

The absolute best, hands down.

A few years ago my Mom suffered life-changing injuries after falling over unfinished construction that her landlord neglected to complete or make safe. Ever since, she has been living with a slew of debilitating neurological and psychological symptoms, as well as physical injuries. She was no longer ...able to keep up with the demands of her job, drive, or live the life she imagined for herself as she had to rely on my sister and I for help with daily tasks and errands that she could no longer do on her own. We even moved her closer to us so that we could reach her in the event of an emergency. Her injuries have affected every part of her life as well as my sisters and mine. l honestly can’t put into words how upside down our world has been turned.  
My mom contacted Brian’s law office in hopes that she could get some form of justice for what happened to her, and to somehow find a way to cover the sky-high stack of ongoing medical expenses she is facing. 

 Brian and Mark were incredibly kind, extremely knowledgeable, and helped her every step of the way.  It was Brian that helped us find some of the best doctors to take care of her, and it was Brian that helped us successfully reach a million dollar settlement. Her injuries still exist and probably always will, but now we don’t ever have to worry about being able to afford quality care. 

Just in case you read this, Brian: My mom is the most important person in the world to me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you and Mark have done for her and our family. I don’t know what we would have done without you.
