Brian Breiter was my legal counsel and he did an excellent job. He explained EVERYTHING to me, he helped me with patience and he got me a settlement that I am happy with. I have never retained counsel before and was never involved in any type of litigation. When I first talked to him I was unable to walk and had just had surgery. Three holes were drilled in my kneecap so that my quad tendon could be sewed back on. Ah, such a fond memory of mine. Imagine trying to straighten your leg and it wont move... only to have your quad bunch up like a pomelo on your hip.
Brian wisely suggested from the onset keep a journal of my experiences resulting from the injury. He stressed that this is not an overnight event; a marathon not a sprint if you will excuse the cliché. The case was complex with multiple defendants all of whom had different takes on my situation as to who was at fault. He was able to navigate through the different defendants like Han Solo flying the Millennium Falcon through an asteroid field!
Anyhow, I can get nervous in stressful situations and Brian helped me keep my cool. He gave me good tips as to how to present myself in deposition and reiterated something that should be obvious "just tell the truth." It is clear that his chief concern is the well-being and the satisfaction of his clients. A former colleague of mine from UC Berkeley referred me to Mr. Breiter and I could tell by the lack of reservations about the recommendation that I would be in good hands. Initially I felt trepidation about the fact that Brian's office is in LA and I live in the SF bay area. I soon realized that Brian was able to provide excellent service even from afar. The travel expenses I paid for Mr. Breiter were reasonable and well worth the cost.
His office is staffed by highly qualified individuals who made me feel like I was just down the street. if I was unable to talk to Brian, Mark Rubashkin always was up to date on the status of my case and got information to me on demand. Likewise, Rita Dawley was an integral part of Brian's team and helped me whenever I had questions.
Brian's style of communication mixes professionalism with a human side that makes one feel that he knows what he is doing and will get what he requests. This made him easy to work and also imbued within me a sense of much needed confidence that helped my case. There were times during this experience where I felt that our adversaries were well aware that they were going up against a strong force. If he was Han Solo, I guess that made me Chewy. The defense made the right choice and let the Wookie win. In all seriousness, Brian Breiter fought hard for me; for this I owe him my gratitude, my respect and a healthy portion of my settlement.

It's not a time in my life that I like to look back at. I was on my way to work on my motorcycle, next thing I knew a car had hit me and I was on the ground. I felt weak, helpless, and scared. I remember being rushed to the emergency room placed under an x ray and then taken to another room, where I would learn the injuries I sustained.
I was referred to Brian by a friend of the family. And after researching I decided Brian's office would be worth the call. Soon after that Brian invited me to his office to discuss what happened the day of the accident. I was impressed by how well he received me. He listened to me patiently and after I was done he explained everything that could happen with great detail and I knew that I could trust him to take my case.
Brian pulled out all the stops for me and I mean all the stops. He was able to find great doctors in my area that were able heal my leg and amazing physical therapy near my home to start walking again. At the same time he was able to track down very accurate witnesses who gave amazing testimonies. There was also the fact that a cop, who wasn’t even present for the accident, had written a completely deceptive report. And having used a testimony Brian had gotten from a witness acquired by the use of an independent investigator Brian was able to turn the case around. He did an amazing job of keeping me informed every step of the way. A few months passed by and I let him know that I was feeling great discomfort in my knee and he immediately got me an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon who was able to fix my knee.
He also treated my case with the help of the office of Nick Movaghar and Steve Yamin. Steve, equally amazing, attended every meeting with fully prepared notes, documents and information. Steve also accompanied me during the deposition and helped me feel at ease. He stated all the facts of my case with quick and superb detail; giving the air of a truly confident professional.
Brian was fierce during the meetings. I remember we went to two mediations and had to leave both times because he was not pleased with the offers they made. I could only imagine how hard he fought for me when I wasn’t there. Then one day I got a call from him with great news that it had finally been resolved.
The fact that Brian’s office is in Downtown L.A., the accident happened in the western part Riverside County, I live in the central part of Riverside County, and the defendant was in New York did not deter Brian from going all the way to New York and getting the deposition where he got the defendant to admit his fault in the incident. I only mention that to give you an idea of how dedicated to my case Brian was.
I don’t think there is any reality in which anyone could have handled my case as diligently as Brian and Steve did. At the end of it I was able to have all my medical bills paid off and reimbursed, as well as damages and expenses to my property. I was also able to keep a sizable portion to myself. I’m still not happy about the day of the accident and I wish it didn’t happen. I don’t think anyone would. But I’m glad I’m alive and well today. And I am honored that I was able to have been referred to and meet someone as dedicated and amazing as Mr. Brian Breiter.

Brian took amazing care of me after I got broken up in a motorcycle accident!
He set a high bar for himself regarding my settlement (higher than any of the other four attorneys I interviewed) and he met it. Choosing personal injury representation is a big decision with long lasting consequences. There is no one else I would recommend to friends or family.

I was hit by a car on my bike almost two years ago, and hurt my ankle. I needed help, and with a little research I stumbled upon Brian. I called him up, he answered and told me to come down to the office. Right from the very beginning I felt at ease. Brian and I talked about the incident for a while, and then he introduced me to his right-hand man, Mark. He immediately set me up with a great Doctor.
The dr. Said the only way to fix my ankle was through surgery. After thinking about it for a while I called Brian up and asked for a second opinion. Brian told me that wouldn't be a problem and I was off to another Doctors office. This Dr. Told me the same thing. Throughout this whole process I had many doubts and was on the fence with making decisions. Brian and Mark were only a phone call away to reassure me that everything will be alright. After months of sleeping on it I ended up getting the surgery. Listen to whatever they tell you! They are both honest, stand-up guys, and will not steer you in the wrong direction!
During our mediation Brian worked the defense attorney. You could see the passion he has for his job and helping others! In the end Brian and Mark exceeded every expectation I had. All my medical bills are paid for and I now have a nice cushion to sit on.
I can't thank Brian and Mark enough! I now have a lawyer for life, and even better yet, a friend! Thank you, gentlemen!!

Brian was a true blessing after my auto accident. He is an honest individual who cares about all his clients and works hard for them. I was not ready to do research on attorneys after the accident. Therefore, I ended asking a friend for a referral because I knew he had been in an accident in the past. This turned out to be a terrible mistake and he is lucky that we are still friends. I ended up signing up with this other attorney without checking his background and ratings online. I later found out through my interactions with him and his staff that they were not interested in my well being. They told me to keep track of all my expenses and document everything. I tried to call several times, but was told that they were unavailable or just about to head out the door. They never returned my phone calls or emails. I came to realize that my first attorney had a poor rating online and others had similar experiences. I wanted to change attorneys after my displeasure but found out that many other attorneys would not take my case because they did not want to deal with the work involved with terminating the agreement with my first attorney and splitting a portion of the fee with my previous attorney.
I called Brian's office one afternoon and spoke to Mark. He took my information about my unique circumstance and told me that Brian would give me a call. To my surprise, Brian called me around 6:30 pm the same day. He was watching his son's game and asked me a few questions about my case. I was impressed that he took the time from his watching his son's game to speak to me. I told him that other attorneys were unwilling to help me out. He told me to forward him any documentation I had collected and photos of the accident. The next day Brian called me back and said that he would be willing to take on my case and help me through the process of ending my relationship with my first attorney. His office also helped me schedule appointments with the correct doctors who helped me with recurring problems that resulted from the auto accident. Brian and his team provided me with a sense of relief that I did not get from my first attorney. I was finally able to focus on getting better and moving on with my life. My only regret is that I did not find Brian sooner. He has earned my business for life and I want to thank him and his staff once again for all their hard work in helping me through this difficult period.

I was hit by a car in a pedestrian/traffic accident while I was walking to the gym about 9 months ago. There was damage to my face/head and body as a result of the accident. I didn't know what to do in this situation. My husband found Brian Breiter on Yelp and contacted him because of the many positive reviews he had on his attorney profile. Brian was very helpful and put my mind at ease. He was always available when I needed to contact him. Although my health insurance did not cover the treatments that I required, Brian was able to get me all the medical attention I needed without delay. He got me an orthopedic surgeon, neurologist, plastic surgeon, physical therapist and psychotherapist... and they were all great!
Brian also worked very hard to get me the maximum amount allowed on the drivers insurance. After I received the settlement, he continued to represent me and fought to reduce all of my medical bills.
I'm still recovering from the accident, but I honestly feel that without Brian's help, things could've been much worse. Although the accident was painful and traumatic, I'm thankful I survived and I'm also thankful that I was able to find Brian and his team to represent me. They took care of everything and let me focus on my recovery. I would enthusiastically recommend Brian Breiter to anyone that has been in an accident and needs an attorney! Brian and his team are the best!

I was on my bicycle on my way home from work when I got in an accident. I ended up fracturing my clavicle. I lost the use of my right arm and couldn’t work. On top of that I was in excruciating pain while waiting on the insurance company to contact me. I was scared and stressing out and I didn’t know where to start to get help. I called Brian and scheduled a meeting, spoke to him and he did an awesome job explaining what I need to do and what was going on and what might and might not happen. He relieved my stress and got me the medical help I really needed. He got me to see a great doctor that immediately treated my injury and gave me back the function of my arm. He also got the insurance company to pay out the maximum amount on the policy. He has been kind and generous and honest throughout this ordeal. He did more for me than any other lawyer would have and he gave me an honest detailed explanations of what was going on. Thank you Brian for everything you’ve done for me.

In regards to car accidents, Brian is one of the better attorneys in Southern California area. I found his office to be very organize with my paperwork. Never had I needed to resend documentation. Emails were replied back in a reasonable amount of time. This is a sought after attorney for good reasons. I am delighted that his staff is able to keep up with so many cases and not push the client into questioning their decision to retain him.
I found that other top lawyers in Los Angeles and Orange county know about his competition to their business. 3 other top lawyer firms stated to know Brian well. When the top lawyers in Los Angeles logically have interactions with each other, it means Brian is a member into the top circle of top lawyers.
I found my case to be manage well by his firm and can attest to me recommending him for car accident cases.
Update 01/2017: Second time using Brian
You can tell quality service after first impressions. Brian helped me in my second case with a national company well funded with lawyers. I was able to get my case resolved in a shorter amount of time compared to the typical 2-3 years that would have occurred for bigger more complex cases just like mine. I can tell you that I entrust my future with Brian. He performs at a dimension that superstars can only evoke when you see them in person.

My daughter was attending a concert and a well known performer threw his beer bottle into the audience which ended up hitting my daughter in the face and it broke her nose. Brian came highly recommended from my bosses attorney and it only took one phone call to know that we were in good hands. Brian sent her to the best plastic surgeon in the world who made my daughter ( and myself) feel very comfortable... not to mention his work was flawless! Throughout the entire process Brian and Mark kept us informed and were available to us at all times. We were never left in the dark about anything . Brian genuinely cared for my daughter and her well being. I can honestly say that he is the BEST and now he will come highly recommended from me anytime I hear that somebody needs an attorney. Brian is really a stand up guy who cares about his clients

Every once in a while you come across someone who is not only a consummate professional but is also a great human being. Brian Breiter is one of those people. He made me feel completely at ease when we first spoke and made me feel as though my case mattered. Brian fought through issues that would have most attorneys in his field throwing in the towel. He’s smart, communicative and supportive beyond what one would expect from their council. Watching him work is like watching an artist paint a masterpiece. Thanks Brian for the brilliant work and your friendship.

I don't frequently write positive reviews, but Brian Breiter, Esq. totally impressed me! And hence follows his public recognition on google. Sometime couple of years ago i was involved in a motor vehicular accident and got injured pretty badly. After recuperation in the hospital I started looking for a personal injury lawyer in Los Angeles. I checked out several personal injury attorneys, and had a meeting with couple, but Brian was the lawyer I wanted to do business with. His soft-spoken and professional approach makes you feel welcomed and surrounded with attention. He explained the plan of action in understandable terms, and offered alternatives. Ultimately, his professional knowledge and experience resulted in a maximum settlement which is another indicator that he is the lawyer who you want to represent you!

Could not be happier with the way Mr. Breiter, Esq. handled my case. I was unfortunate enough to be hit while behind my motorcycle (i know sounds bizzare). And my knees sustained significant injury.. Soon after the accident I started looking for a personal injury attorney/lawyer in Los Angeles. I have interviewed several of local attorneys, but after I met Brian I knew that he is the professional that I can entrust my case. All details were discussed pripr to signing the retainer, and the plan of action was clearly delineated. After few month of negotiations Brian Breiter, Esq. And Mark, Esq. delivered a maximum possible settlement in my case. Totally satisfied and highly recommended!
