THE BEST!!!

4 years ago I was hit in the pedestrian crosswalk by a Yellow Cab walking across the street on my way to work. I had the green and followed the laws when crossing the street. I sustained many injuries and was left with lifelong back injuries. I have spent the last 4 years fighting Yellow Cab and it's... disgusting insurance company to take responsibility for running me over in the crosswalk. I have lived with their awful attorney, John Doherty, sending people to follow me, video tape me, as well as my co workers, and harass my employers with useless supeanas in hopes of embarrassing me to get me to drop my case. They harassed and bullied the Good Samaritan eye witness in her deposition so much that she hid from having to testify in court with this cruel lawyer. After this eye witness's father passed away 1 week before trial, the defense attorney threatened arrest and jail time for her if she did not testify. Even though we could have easily just had her deposition read in court to save her the trouble of coming to court during her mourning period. He wanted to trip her up and confuse her as English wasn't her first language, like he did in her deposition. A tactic that came back to bite him in the ass thanks to the brilliance of my lawyer, Brian Breiter and his colleagues. If it was not for my OUTSTANDING lawyers Brian Breiter and his incredible team, Steve Hoffman, CJ Pardon, Mark R, I would have given up. This was an incredibly hard fight. I can't thank him enough as we were finally victorious in court. It took 4 years, continuous physical pain, life threatening procedures, countless days of mental anguish, a jury, and a week long trial to get justice. Brian and his team exuded professionalism, passion, intelligence and were not at all intimidated by the awful defense attorney John Doherty and his bully tactics. Prior to this, I knew nothing of the legal world in this capacity and Brian and his team were not only tremendously skilled, but supportive, caring, and eager to educate me thru a new and incredibly difficult experience. I never in a million years thought this case would go to trial, it seemed so black and white to me, a car hitting a pedestrian in a crosswalk, but boy was I wrong. Having your integrity questioned is crushing especially in front of a jury of your peers. I broke down in tears after the defense attorney's closing argument called me a liar, a fraud and a scam artist. Within a second, Brian Breiter hugged me, comforted me and assured me that no matter what, he would help me get thru this long after the verdict, whatever it may be. I hate for anyone to be a victim of an incident like this, but if unfortunately you are, I pray you get the law offices of Brian Breiter to represent you. He will care about you. He will comfort you. He will fight for you. He will win. And he will make you laugh along the way:). I adore him, Steve, CJ, Mark and the whole team. I am grateful to feel bonded to them for the rest of my life!

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.

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

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.

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 :)
