This guy rocks :) !!!!

Brian is amazing. Not only as an attorney, but as a person. I won't go into all the details of my accident, but my wife and I had just moved to California about 6 months prior to my accident and were still trying to get settled. Obviously, a horrific accident (motorcycle) does not help make us feel... comfortable with our situation. While I was in the hospital, my wife (we had only been married 7 months at this time) started doing all the paperwork with insurance companies and trying to get any disability benefits from my job or the state, but we hadn't been here long enough be approved, so we were worried how we could stay afloat. My wife called a few different attorneys, and Brian was one of them. Besides our personal beliefs in the amazing work that he has done, it was comforting to know we were making the right choice with Brian back then because when my wife was asked what other attorneys she was considering as she called around and she mentioned Brian Breiter, they all said, "oh yea, he is great. Go with him and he will do right by you." That is proof to Brian's abilities. He is being recommended by the 'competition'! With everything we had on our plate, Brian made it extremely easy. We would just send him/his office paperwork about what was going on with the hospital and he would say, "Don't worry about this side of things, I've got you, you just focus on healing.' I truly just put faith in Brian that he would do everything he could to take care of us, and he went above and beyond expectations. When I was well enough, he had me come into the office so we could meet and chat in person and he is the nicest guy ever! Without too many details, Brian took our situation and concerns into consideration and used his connections and skills to make a terrible situation have some positiveness to it. I would recommend Brian to anyone in need. He is honest, understanding, thoughtful, and fun. Oh, and obviously fantastic at his job :) Thank you Brian and everyone on your team for helping us!

Brian Is the Best!

Brian and his team are our own personal superheroes (with Brian leading as Iron Man since he looks just like Robert Downey, Jr.)! I recommend Brian to anyone that is ever involved in an accident. No matter how big or small, they will take care of you. My husband and I had only been in LA for 5 mo...nths and married for 6 months when I received that fateful call that my husband was involved in a near fatal motorcycle accident. We had no friends, family or decent jobs and all I could think of was how scared, lost and completely in over my head I was. After researching several different attorneys, I came across Brian Breiter. Brian was highly rated on yelp and very helpful when I spoke with him on the phone. He was knowledgable, caring, and never once pressured me into choosing him. Even some of the other lawyers would ask me who my top choices were and when I mentioned Brian's name they all agreed that Brian would be a great choice. Brian was more than generous and willing to help a young couple out. After the accident, I was running around dealing with insurance, doctors, appointments, surgeries and spending time with my husband all while still trying to keep up my schedule at the restaurant. When I finally asked Brian to be our attorney, he swooped in and helped alleviate some of the stress that had been building inside of me. Brian was able to put my mind to ease that he would do what needed to be done on the legal side and to not only focus on my husband's recovery but also focus on myself. Brian did more then just the legal side. He actually cared for my husband and I beyond clients. He helped us emotionally and told us how everything would go and not to worry about anything. Brian and his team are amazing, and in a terrible situation they allowed us to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you Brian!

Amazing Personal Injury Lawyer

I was represented by Brian Breiter and team after being hit while walking at a crosswalk and suffering a traumatic brain injury. Within 6-7 months, Brian settled my case for an amount greater than I could have possibly hoped for. He did a phenomenal job. At the time of the accident, my family conv...inced me to get a lawyer just in case my medical bills mounted (which they did). I was apprehensive at first; I'm not a litigious person and have never been involved in any sort of lawsuit. But I knew that I was not at fault and that my injuries were serious and would likely be long-term. The process of choosing an attorney was incredibly stressful. I didn't have any friends or family in the area to recommend a personal injury lawyer so I had to rely on sites like Yelp. We all know that sites like these can be immensely valuable, but also that you need to read reviews with some skepticism. Brian had so many rave reviews that I briefly worried that some could be fake. But then I thought, if the guys has this many good reviews he would obviously get a ton of business from other Yelpers. If the quality of his representation was worse than expected, you would expect a bunch of bad 1 star reviews. Brian has virtually 0 negative reviews. He really is that good. Before deciding upon an attorney, I called 6-8 firms and spoke with them over the phone about my situation. For those of you in need of personal injury representation, I recommend that you do this as well. I was able to learn a lot about the process and got a variety of opinions about how I should proceed. Most of them, including Brian, thought that my case would likely take years to resolve (which makes it all the more impressive that Brian got the case resolved so quickly). The only negative to calling so many lawyers is that they all became very interested in taking my case. Personally injury law can be a very lucrative and competitive market and I knew I had a good case, so this wasn't too surprising. In the end, I decided to meet with three lawyers in person. The final choice was between Brian and a larger, downtown firm that is also well-regarded on Yelp. Both seemed quite capable, but I decided to go with Brian because I was more confident that I would be working with him personally throughout the case. Brian assured me that if the case went to trial or arbitration, it would be him representing me. In the larger firm, I suspected that I might have had to deal more with other members of the firm. It also didn't hurt that Brian's fees were also much more reasonable. Throughout the case, Brian was extremely easy to get in touch with. I could email him, call his office, or even call his personal cell phone. Brian or Mark (another lawyer at the firm) kept me up to date with everything and let me know if I needed to do anything. They made sure that I was receiving the proper medical care and offered to front several of my medical payments that health insurance would not cover. At the end of the case, we needed to repay my health insurance for what it had paid towards my treatment. Brian, who fittingly teaches a class in negotiation, was able to greatly reduce what we needed to pay. When my settlement check was ready, Brian offered to leave his family's Passover celebration on a Saturday to meet with me and get me the check so I wouldn't have to wait any longer. I really wish this accident never happened, but I can't imagine how much worse off I'd be if I didn't have a great lawyer like Brian at my side.

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.

Drunk Driving Case Review

Brian and Mark are amazing at what they do, are very personable, funny, and caring. You can stop reading the review here and just hire them but to give more details of our case and the process keep reading: My boyfriend and I were in the unfortunate situation of being hit by a drunk driver one ev...ening while driving home from a nice dinner. It was a traumatic experience; neither of us had been in a major accident before, let alone one that totaled two vehicles. Our physical injuries could have been a lot worse given the situation but luckily we were both able to walk away, until the next morning when we could barely move. We went to urgent care and saw our primary doctors but the back and neck pain didn’t go away. We didn’t know what to do in the situation and, being new to California, didn’t have a good network to seek advice. We turned to Yelp and decided to give Brian a call after reading through his positive reviews. The initial meeting with Brian and his colleague, Mark, was straight forward, going through the details on the accident and all of our personal information. They even recommended doctors for us to see in the area. Brian and Mark suggested that we finish all medical treatments before moving forward with the case to ensure all costs would be accounted for. This included seeing several doctors, multiple bouts of physical therapy, pain medication and acupuncture. This took time and nothing ever “cured” my pain. I still cannot sit in certain positions or for long durations without my back hurting and I get these awful twinges in my neck. I didn’t want to go the invasive epidural route so I was happy when I finally found a way to manage the pain through PT exercises. I told Brian I was done with treatment and off the case went. We provided all of our medical bills, out of pocket expenses, etc. and they ran with it. We had to appear for a deposition with the other side’s attorney at their office which was a little nerve wracking but we met with Brian and Mark ahead of time and prepared how to get through it. I would compare it to a bad interview, but it wasn’t as awful or scary as we thought it would be. We waited. In the background, Brian and Mark were hard at work trying to get all they could for us. They were good at informing us of where they were in the process, always returning our calls or answering questions. Finally, a settlement came in that we accepted and here we are. We learned that it can take a long time to go through the motions of a case but the wait was worth it. Brian and Mark aren’t the type to get it done quickly just to get it done and move on to their next case; they truly want to get what you deserve. Again, I would highly recommend Brian and his team. They are professional and caring and will help you through every aspect of your case to make sure you get the outcome you deserve.
