On October 21st of 2016 I was riding my bike, heading to the store for a quick snack. I was heading east on Rose Ave. toward Lincoln, and keeping a moderate pace in the bike lane. It was a gorgeous day. As I was just entering a crosswalk, I noticed a car coming from the opposite direction was just about to turn left onto the street I was crossing. The driver was moving quite fast and it was clear there was no way for me to get out of the way quick enough. I called out to the driver hoping to get his attention to slow down, but it was clear he didn't see me. As he entered the crosswalk, I tried to veer my bike toward the right to avoid being hit straight on. Both my body and my bike slammed into the front end of his car - passenger side. I went flying in one direction and my bike in the other. The whole event felt like slow motion, yet was only a matter of seconds from the time I saw the car approaching to the moment of impact. The car had hit me pretty hard on the left side of my hip, I flew through the air, and then landed straight onto the same hip. In trying to stand up, I could barely move, which didn't concern me at the time, as I was just grateful to be alive. The man who hit me was in a hurry to pick his son up from daycare, and unfortunately didn't have any insurance. My good friend immediately took me to the hospital. As we were in the waiting room, she contacted Brian. Several years prior, she had been struck head on by a car while walking across a cross-walk and suffered permanent damage to her back - Brian was her lawyer and helped her tremendously through her case. While in the hospital, Brian advised me on all tests, questions, and images to be taken. The next day we discussed the accident in further detail, and I was grateful for he and his team to take my case. Because the man who hit me didn't have insurance, I filed a claim against my own policy. I have excellent insurance and this is why we pay into things... for our own protection! My X-rays showed that I had fractured my pelvis, one rib, and severe whiplash. Over the next year, I was barely able to walk or even sit for longer than 5 minutes without excruciating pain. This was incredibly challenging for my work, as I'm a Pilates instructor, dancer, and Executive Director of a non-profit. I had to take time off from teaching and performing, and even sitting to work at a computer was challenging. I am not a person who goes to see doctors. I take care of myself as best I can with holistic practices. So when I needed help and referrals for finding proper physicians to look at my injuries, both Brian and Mark were 100% available. After about a year and a half of rehab, I'm doing so much better (thank goodness!) Since day one, Brian and Mark have been fully present for me. Helping me along the way, offering support in any way I needed, and have been completely transparent with everything related to my case. Nearly three years later, and my case has just come to completion - We received the full settlement amount from my former insurance company. I am BEYOND grateful for Brian, Mark, and everyone in their team who had a part in my case - And of course grateful to my friend for calling Brian on that first day. If you have been in an accident and are looking for the BEST representation, don't hesitate to call Brian's office - He's the best.

In December 2015, my life got flipped upside down when I was struck by a vehicle while bicycling. I was thrown from my bike in a busy intersection and sustained multiple injuries that required a lot of medical attention. After a couple months of being jerked around by my health insurance company to get treatment, I looked up local Attorney's for advice. I spoke with a few I discovered online and didn't get very far into the conversation before I was dismissed. Then I stumbled onto Brian's website & gave a call. One of the Attorney's on Brian's team, Mark Rubashkin, spent a while on the phone with me and answered all my questions. Shortly after, I met with Brian & Mark. After hearing my description of the accident, they were quick to help me find Dr's that would treat me. That, in and of itself justified hiring Brian. My personal insurance was jerking me around and I honestly just didn't trust the Defendant's Insurance company to get me quality medical care. So, the fact that I could see great Dr's when I needed to was a breath of fresh air. I required multiple surgeries and as time went on, the medical bills were increasing. I was stressed out because the Defendant's Insurer low balled their offer which wouldn't have even covered the Med Bills. Not to mention the future medical costs. Brian did a great job reassuring me that when this was all said & done that we would not be in the red & that my future needs would be taken care of. The Defendant's Insurers were insistent that they would not pay more than their lowball offer so we prepared to go to trial. We tried mediating but still couldn't come close to an agreement. A second mediation, however, did the trick. We agreed on a very fair settlement that would not only take care of all my medical bills (which they also got heavily reduced), but also give me a life changing opportunity to build on for myself & new family. In the end, Brian's reputation for trying injury cases & negotiating skills during mediation played a huge factor in changing my life for the better. If you were injured & even THINK you might need a lawyer... Call Brian right now. Thank You, Brian. Thank You, Mark. Thank You, Chance. Because of you, I have all new puzzle pieces to put my life back together. I'm eternally grateful & will always be a huge advocate.

I have nothing but positive things to say for Mr. Breiter. He is a consummate professional who rushed to my assistance with great enthusiasm. His office is smartly run; calls and return calls are handled swiftly and efficiently, and I never, ever feel like just a "number" or a nameless client. Instead, the prompt correspondance always makes me feel like Mr. Breiter is prioritizing me. He was thorough and well-researched in advising me of my options. Brian just handles things, takes the pressure off you and gets things going in your favor. You could do a lot worse than to have this expert in your corner.

I chose Brian Breiter as my attorney initially based on his Yelp reviews. While I realize this may sound crazy, and I understand sometimes Yelp reviews can be “manufactured”, the sheer amount of reviews (complemented by glowing reports) are highly unlikely to be fabricated. I had the misfortune to be rear-ended at a standstill for the second time within 2 years. I suffered greatly with many injuries including numerous spinal surgeries throughout the first accident, and , again with the second. I had a horrible experience with the representation I received during the first accident and, admittedly, developed a “distaste” (to say the least) for attorneys and a blatant mistrust for their professional guidance. So, it was with this hardened prejudice that I found myself obdurate toward Attorney Breiter at our initial consultation and, although injured, began spewing my previous negative experience and “been there done that/ won’t take any S*** anymore” attitude. It was at this time, he simply asked calmly…”would you like a cup of tea”? I was so taken aback from the kindness of the statement alone, as well as the realization that I was being heard and listened to, and it was shocking. My previous attorney did not acknowledge me personally, just my case and would rush me out of the office for the next “cash cow”…and never once was I offered a beverage. So this was a small, but telling action, and I resolved to retain him that day. In accident cases, you are likely in a waiting game for about 2 years and during the course of this, you periodically need to update your file with medical records, etc, as you try and heal. You will not always meet with the high man on the totem pole, but instead with assistant attorneys, administrative staff, etc. I must complement Mark Rubashkin, with whom I had the most interaction. They say employees are a reflection of the top brass, and I had the pleasure to find the rare species of personal injury/ accident firms whose entire staff truly care and who are all kind and considerate with regard to their clients’ welfare. My emails were always answered expeditiously and respectfully, and all phone calls were answered without long waits, or no wait at all. Attorney Breiter even texts with you. My case was handled with consideration for my future and I was was treated fairly and with dignity. It was with such regard, that, upon receiving the limits of the insurance policy (and no further opportunity to pursue damages), that Brian Breiter’s office even reduced their fee, knowing what I received would not be enough to compensate me for my impending necessary future medical issues. I doubt any other attorney in this nation would be so considerate. I am forever thankful for Brian Breiter, Mark Rubashkin, and all the wonderful staff at this firm. If you find yourself, or your family needs the services of a PI attorney, call them immediately.

Last year I was hit head on by a drunk driver as he drove down the wrong side of the street. He hit two other cars outside of mine, before crashing himself into a wall. He needed to be cut out by the jaws of life. I immediately suffered a concussion and pinched cranial nerves. My car was totaled and my mind was (temporarily) lost. A few weeks later as I called my insurance company to start processing my medical insurance claim, I was told they couldn’t prove that the accident hadn’t been my fault as I didn’t know the police report number (as I had been concussed when the police arrived, and the police were busy dealing with people much more messed up than I.) It was a harsh phone call, and left me very anxious having to recount my accident to someone that really didn’t feel like they cared or wanted to help me. From there, I contacted Brian’s office and he immediately called me back. I quickly set up one meeting where I laid out the details and gave them some basic info. They were nice and chill and made me very very comfortable with the process. And that was it. I was able to continue to get treatment for the symptoms that popped up without having to worry about having to argue or deal with my insurance, and was just able to focus on getting myself back in shape. Brian’s office was able to get me my full amount available under my policy. My first trip to the ER was also not covered by my medical insurance, so when I faulted on the payment to them I got a lien. Brian’s office also negotiated that lien WAY down and settled it up on my behalf. I really just didn’t want to deal with any of this. Im not a litigious person, and talking about the accident at all does bring up lots of stress and anxiety. Not having to think about it, and knowing that I had a great team advocating and staying on top of everything on my behalf was a huge blessing. I really hope no one has to deal with these kinds of issues, but I would highly recommend Brian and his team if you ever have to. He made something really awful not quite as bad.

ALMOST A YEAR AGO MY MOTHER WAS INVOLVED IN A HORRIBLE CAR ACCIDENT, I WENT TO THE OFFICES OF BRIAN BREITER AND HE PERSONALY WALKED ME THREW THE ENTIRE PROCESS.. EVEN THOUGH MY MOM HAD EVERYTHING AGAINST HER BRIAN FAUGHT FOR MY MOM AND GET HER COMPENSATED. WONDERFULL SERVICE, ALWAYS THERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. SIMPLY THE BEST

“Brian and his team did an amazing job on my case and that is why I am giving them 5 stars. One morning I was driving to work in Corona, CA when a driver failed to stop a a stop sign and hit me on the driver side door of the car. The impact was tremendous. The car was totaled. Luckily I was wearing a seat belt. I was completely dazed. I was transported to a near by hospital by ambulance. I had neck pain, shoulder tear and a concussion months after the accident. I took almost 2 years for me to fully recover from my injuries. Brian did a great job gathering all the medical information, and police report and dealing with the insurance company. It took a long time and a lot of patience on my part, but in the end I received a nice settlement above my expectations. Brian is truly excellent at negotiating with the insurance company. I would highly recommend Brian for any MVA case you may have. However, I pray every day that I never have to call him again.”

On November 2016, our car was rear ended by another vehicle. I was sitting on the passenger side while my boyfriend drove us home from Lamaze class. We were yielding to traffic in front of us when we were rear-ended by a vehicle that was attempting to switch lanes. Their vehicle was traveling at such a high speed that the impact forced our car into the car in front of us. At the time of the accident I was 7 months pregnant and frightened. I think the shock from the impact sent an adrenaline rush through out my body that I did not feel any pain, all I could think of was my baby. We immediately decided to go have the baby checked out to make sure the baby was fine. Thankfully everything was ok and we were sent home that same day. The next day I woke up with pain all through my body, specifically my back and I even threw up some blood. I was very scared there was something wrong with the baby so we went to the ER but were turned away and sent to Prenatal Urgent Care instead. I was diagnosed with vertigo and whiplash. I had extreme back pain and awful headaches for the remainder of pregnancy and unfortunately there wasn’t anything they could do for me. I could not do therapy, no procedures or any medicine for pain due to my advanced pregnancy. To make matters worse we found out the driver had no license. It was then that we decided to look for an attorney and thankfully we found The Law Offices of Brian Breiter. The next two months were hard trying to cope with the back pain as my baby kept growing and getting heavier. Sleeping was impossible. Brian, Mark and the entire team were absolutely amazing! They were very caring and compassionate throughout the remaining months of my pregnancy. They checked on me and made sure the baby was doing well. They fought for me when the insurance company tried to offer less than the full policy. After a long battle with the insurance company, they were able to get the full policy limits for me. I would definitely recommend The Law Offices of Brian Breiter to everyone. They aren’t just amazing and get the job done, they are caring and compassionate individuals who treat you like family. I can assure you they will take the best care of you!

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 Brian Breiter's name kept popping up. He had nothing but great reviews, was highly rated and had plenty of experience with dog bites, so after an extensive search, I decided to contact him and it was the best decision I could have made. He was immediately responsive and I met with him the same day I reached out. He took excellent care of me from the get go, setting me up with all of the appointments I needed, explaining the process thoroughly and not sugar coating all the possible outcomes. I knew I was in great hands and worked closely throughout the process not just with him, but with Jeff Twomey with whom I could not have been more impressed. I met with Jeff multiple times before my deposition and he was so thorough, kind, competent and answered every question I had. He was with me during my deposition and I always felt completely taken care of. The outcome that this team provided me was above and beyond what I was expecting. They understood my reasons for pursuing the case in the first place, were unbelievably compassionate and really fought for me. It also happened that they had great senses of humor, were incredibly professional, personable and great to be around. I actually looked forward to every time we spoke or got together, given the circumstances. I would recommend Brian and Jeff 10 times out 10. I could not be happier with my entire experience with them. I deeply appreciate the work they did for me and made a traumatic, unwanted experience not only tolerable but pleasant. You cannot go wrong hiring this team!

November 20th, 2015 is a day I will never forget. I was running errands for work around Los Angeles and was violently rear ended on the 101 freeway. I had been at a dead stop in the fast lane and a massive F250 truck plowed right into me at full speed. It was almost like it had happened in slow motion. I saw him coming in the rear view mirror and I remember thinking, “please stop, please stop, please stop.” I braced for impact and closed my eyes as the force snapped my neck back and fourth. I ended up breaking the back window out with the back of my head in my single cab truck. The bed was in the shape of a rainbow instead of a regular flat truck bed. The entire dash of the car-A/C, stereo, etc.-had exploded onto my lap. Fortunately, I was wearing my seatbelt. I didn’t black out for long but was immediately in shock from the accident. My back, neck, and head were throbbing and hurt all over. While I headed to the hospital for my injuries I immediately started questioning how I was going to navigate this nightmare on my own. That was literally my first thought. Not my own health and recovery but HOW I was going to take on such a financial burden. I only had Medi-Cal and knew that if I missed even one day of work it would be a struggle to pay my bills. I was in so much pain and had no idea where to turn until a coworker of mine referred me to Brian Breiter and his team. I was really hesitant about hiring an attorney-this was a first for me, but after meeting with Brian and Mark, I finally felt a bit of relief knowing I had a solid team who was ready to fight for my recovery. Brian got me in to see amazing specialists, physical therapists, and started treatment right away. I can’t even put into words how much my life got turned upside down from this accident, but he’s helped me turn it right side up again. You don’t realize how much back/neck injuries can impact your daily routine until you’re forced to. I ended up being out of work for a year due to my injuries and was in need of a Worker’s Comp attorney as well. Brian didn’t hesitate to connect me with Lester Friedman, who specialized in WC so their offices could work together to get me the medical attention I needed. What you don’t realize when you’re hurt like I was, is that there are several hoops to jump through and insurance companies will fight to the nail to not cover your treatment regardless of fault, and regardless if you’re injured. Having Brian stand beside me and fight for me was imperative to my recovery, my sanity, and has made it possible for me to live the closest thing to a normal life as possible. I am beyond grateful to be here, and I am committed to overcoming these injuries. It’s a choice I wake up and make every single day. These injuries will be with me the rest of my life, but they will not define me. I cannot thank them enough for the incredible support they extended to me, the guidance they provided, and how much they put into this case on my behalf. If you’re looking for a superhero attorney, Brian Breiter + Team are modern day Avengers in the courtroom and I give them my full support! You will never regret making that call.

A few years ago I had a car accident. Brian took over my case and was amazing. So kind, detailed and patient with me. I knew what to expect every step of the way. He immediately put me at ease and was honest/upfront with me. Very accessible. We won our case and I continue to recommend him to any friend in need. In fact, anyone who has had an accident I tell them their second call should be to Brian!
