“Marc Breakstone performed nothing less than a miracle on my case. I was involved in a rear-end collision while working as a pharmaceutical delivery man. At first I did not even realize that I was injured. However within the next several days I began to experience severe low back and leg pain. It turns out that I had degenerative changes in my back which had never given me any problems. The collision, which resulted in no property damage to my vehicle, was enough to send me on a downward spiral. Since that accident, almost 3 years ago, I have not worked and will never work again. My medical bills and debt exploded. Marc took the case, even though it looked like an extreme longshot. He helped me receive evaluations from some of Boston's top medical specialists. He prepared the case with utmost care. He made clear to me that it was my job to get better as quickly and completely as possible and leave the rest to him. That is exactly what I did, and I'm glad it did so. Communications with Marc and his secretary Christine were flawless. He and his staff are true professionals. I was aware at every step in the process of exactly what was happening and what I should expect. Late in the case, the insurance company did a surprise about-face and informed Marc that there was no coverage for my claim. Marc made clear to me that the company's position had merit. However, he told me he would not give up. He came up with the legal theory, which I still do not understand, on which he argued that the insurance company could not withdraw coverage after they had confirmed coverage for more than two years. To my delight and surprise, he managed to obtain a superb settlement that will be sufficient to take care of my wife and me for the rest of our lives. We will forever owe a debt of gratitude to Marc Breakstone and his law firm for their fine representation of me and my wife. I would recommend Marc to any person with a serious injury claim without hesitation. Thank you!”

While riding my bicycle, I was hit broadside by a driver who did not see me, and did not stop. I suffered a serious injury to my right shoulder that required screws, pins, and cables. I was in extreme pain, and unable to work, sleep, or do anything much at all. Marc Breakstone literally took care of everything – doctor bills, follow-up, and negotiating with the driver’s insurance company. He returned all my calls, and reassured me every step of the way. He secured the best possible settlement, which has allowed me to go on with my life. He has an ability to make you feel like you are his only client, a trait that comes from within. I highly recommend Marc, and will not hesitate to seek him out again if the situation requires!

Marc Breakstone was amazing! I had a fall in 2015, and after hiring and firing one attorney, I found Marc. He listened to my situation, reviewed all of the records and reports, and agreed to be my attorney. It was the best move I could have made. My injury was multi-faceted, including a trimalleolar fracture, multiple surgeries, hardware, an infection and I developed Complex Regional Pain Syndrome along the way. The insurance company wanted to make it go away and considered me to be simply a 50 year old woman with an ankle fracture, but Marc was having none of it! He fought for the significance of my injuries, and we settled with the insurance company with enough money for me to look for a one-story home, which is necessary because of my limitations. Marc's team was also incredible. Christine, Marc's assistant, was always available and supportive and kept me informed throughout the process. Thank you Chris! You were so good to me. Reza Breakstone, Marc's son, who is also an attorney at the firm, was key in reviewing and uncovering strong points for my case. I am grateful to the entire team, but especially Marc. As someone that has worked with dogs my entire life, he is indeed, my bulldog.

We give Attorney Marc Breakstone our highest possible recommendation. After a very unfortunate and highly troubling situation involving the unexpected death of a family member while being treated in a medical setting, we contacted Marc with our serious concerns and suspicions about what had happened. We retained Marc based upon his record of success and after extensive discussions with him determined that he was the best attorney to handle the matter on our behalf. Marc's investigation of the matter was swift, aggressive and thorough revealing that our suspicions and concerns were well founded and needed to be addressed as a serious case of medical malpractice. Our primary concern was to seek to reduce the potential that a similar situation could befall another person in the future. A few words about our experience with Marc as a person. Marc is all about total dedication and support of his client, seeking to achieve what is right. Marc is easy to communicate with: down to earth, personable, honorable and no nonsense, handling all communications with sensitivity, understanding and professionalism. The case was resolved in a mediation setting prior to litigation in a manner that brought needed closure to our family. The settlement appropriately reflected the strength of the troubling information that Marc's investigation had exposed, while avoiding protracted litigation. Very importantly, we understand that our case and Marc's efforts contributed to policy and procedural changes in the medical setting, designed to reduce future risk of a similar situation occurring to another person. We are grateful to Marc and made the right choice to retain him.

Marc Breakstone delivered for me and my family. I asked Marc to represent my family after our adult son was accidentally killed. As a personal injury lawyer with 30+ years of experience, I am at least familiar with all of the top injury lawyers in Massachusetts. I knew Marc was among them and would be the best advocate to represent my family because of his relentless drive, diligence, skill, and compassion. The claim investigation process, mediation, and litigation were contentious, emotional, and difficult. But Marc and his team (Reza and Christine) always kept the process moving forward. Throughout the process, we were kept well informed of the legal strategies, hurdles, and potential options and outcomes. Marc and his team provided prompt communications, honesty, and devotion. No client could ask for more. Marc understood, respected, and worked with our devastation from start to finish. The following example is telling. Marc was on vacation when I placed my initial call for help late on a Friday afternoon. Even though we had only very briefly met and he did not really know me, he returned my call within minutes. We could not be more satisfied with Marc's representation. He successfully resolved our case in a timely and compassionate way and delivered on every promise.

In Marc Breakstone we found the perfect legal representation we were looking for after my wife met with an accident last year. Being new to all the legal processes - once we found about the Breakstone firm after reading all rave online reviews - we could blindly surrender ourselves to Marc for his constant guidance, legal or otherwise, through every step of the case. He and the staff at Breakstone law firm are highly professional and were available always to provide prompt responses to any queries or confusions we might have had. They provided their best support at all times. Due to their constant diligence we could get through the legal formalities fast and with desired closure. Marc and his staff kept us informed about every detail of the case throughout the process and we felt very comfortable with this firm. We would definitely recommend and refer this firm to friends and family.

After speaking with several lawyers about taking my case, I selected attorney Marc Breakstone because of his no-nonsense approach. I first read about him on his Google Reviews page. I was impressed by the favorable comments of his former clients. I have to say that my experiences with Marc were consistent with his glowing Google Reviews. Throughout the handling of my case, Marc communicated his advice and counseled me in a straightforward, concise way. Marc took the case despite the fact that the damages and the amount of recovery were relatively small for a medical malpractice case. However Marc took the case because he shared my family's upset over what had happened to my wife. Not only did he obtain a satisfactory financial settlement, he worked with our family to ensure that the hospital establish new procedures to ensure that the same mistake not occur with any other patient at that the facility. That fact gave my family a sense that some good will come out of the hardship that my wife and our family experienced. We are completely satisfied with the job that Marc and his wonderful assistant Christine did on our case and would recommend Breakstone, White & Gluck to any other family looking for intelligent, thorough and compassionate representation.

Attorney Marc Breakstone gets the job done. After I was involved in a serious motorcycle crash, I really didn't know what to expect or who to turn to. My leg was in pieces held together by rods, I had 5 major surgeries. I was laid up in bed for months and looking at months of rehab. I had never hired a lawyer for anything. So I went online and started reading about the best personal injury lawyers in the Boston area. I came across Marc Breakstone’s site and was impressed by his reviews. He sounded like the kind of lawyer I needed: Experienced, thorough and compassionate. I called Marc and spoke with him about the case. He was straight with me and walked me through what I should expect from the claim against the driver who hit me. Marc told me that it was my job to get better and provide him with any information he needed. He's a straight shooter and helped me through everything involving my case. He told me that he would take care of everything else. That is exactly what he did. To my surprise, he got the case settled for the full insurance limits within a relatively short time. I was completely satisfied with his professional and courteous approach to everything. He is a gentleman and a bulldog: just the kind of lawyer you want in your corner. All in all if you're looking for someone who will stop at nothing to get the job done, you cannot go wrong with Attorney Breakstone.

Marc Breakstone was there for my family and I in the darkest time in our life. Tragedy struck our family suddenly after a minor hospital procedure ended in the loss of my husband's life. Marc came highly recommended by a colleague and now I know why. From the very beginning the advice he gave me was instrumental in the successful outcome. He clearly knew what he was doing every step of this long journey. His knowledge and experience was clear to me through the whole process. He took the time to see the picture of our family before our loss and after. A life like my husbands can never be replaced ...thank you Marc Breakstone for being the fighter our family needed! I would recommend Marc to anyone looking for a compassionate, experienced and tenacious advocate.

I deal with lawyers daily in my capacity as president of an insurance agency specializing in lawyers’ matters. Marc's attention to detail was evident from the start of my case. His communication was focused, efficient, and kept me abreast of my case as it developed. His research and the manner in which he conducted the depositions were significant factors that drove the successful outcome of my case. Marc's direct style is an asset as he is honest with his assessment of the case and firm in his resolve to achieve the very best outcome for you as his client. Marc is exactly what you need in a lawyer when you entrust him with your case. You expect a direct, honest assessment of success, you expect dedication to your case, you expect regular communication and above all you expect focused, expert negotiation skills when the time is right. Marc has mastered these legal skills and uses them in an expert manner when he negotiates on your case. I would recommend Marc without reservation. He is the bulldog you want on your side.

Marc Breakstone took care of my mother's case after she was hit by a car. I was immediately impressed by his clear directions and 'take charge' style. Because my mother is non-English speaking, I was the primary contact. Marc not only took excellent care of my mom's case and secured an excellent settlement, he also made sure that she received the best possible medical attention. Marc and his staff were easy to communicate and professional in every respect. I give them the high marks and would recommend them to any friend or family member who needs a competent, experienced and thorough personal injury law firm.

Marc Breakstone got the job done for my husband after he almost died on the operating table due to a medical error. Our dear friend, a respected Boston lawyer, told us that Marc was the best in the business. From the beginning of the case, Marc clearly explained every step of the process, making clear what his role and our roles would be. He told me repeatedly to focus on my husband's recovery and the corrective surgery that would be needed. Because of the medical mistake, my husband's kidney transplant was canceled. Knowing that Marc was on the case allowed my husband and me to focus on his future surgery and his recovery. My husband was able to get his new kidney and to our surprise and amazement, Marc got the case settled for an amount that we considered quite fair. Marc and his staff were professional and responsive throughout this process. At the end of the case, there were difficult problems with Medicare and hospital reimbursements. For seven months, Marc worked to correct the hospital's billing error that resulted in a six-figure mistake. He even went so far as to prepare for a class action lawsuit against the hospital to bring them to their senses. Marc is a compassionate professional and a tenacious advocate. We give him the highest recommendation and will forever appreciate his hard work and dedication to our case.
