About Marc Breakstone

Marc L. Breakstone is a founder and principal of Breakstone, White & Gluck. He has represented seriously injured clients in medical malpractice and personal injury cases since 1986. In the courtroom, he is known for using computer reenactments and interactive digital technology to present cases to juries, which has helped win significant recoveries in medical malpractice, motor vehicle accident, and bus accident cases. Mr. Breakstone has consistently maintained an AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell (the highest rating for legal ability and professional standards) and holds a top rating on Avvo. He has been recognized by Top 100 New England Super Lawyers and Top 100 Massachusetts Super Lawyers. Mr. Breakstone lectures approximately 8 to 10 times per year to lawyers throughout New England on trial techniques and medical malpractice law, and has spoken at Northeastern University School of Law, Boston University Law School, and Suffolk University Law School. He has been a member of the Board of Governors of the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys for over 15 years. A high-profile case he handled involved a spinal fusion patient who was victimized in 2002 when surgeon Dr. David Arndt left during surgery to visit a bank; his recovery for a brain-damaged infant against a national ambulance company led to regulatory changes in ambulance incident reporting in Massachusetts.
