Marty Rutberg - Rutberg Personal Injury Law
When you go to the courtroom with Larry Breslow, you see what people mean when they talk about high-energy trial attorneys. Motivated by his compassion for the injured and blessed with a knack for what he calls “the core of a story,” Larry is fundamentally driven by a strongly competitive nature. For him, a trial is “the process of beating down insurance defense lawyers with the truth.” In his courtroom style, as in his view of the world, “the facts and common sense mean a whole lot more than a bunch of technicalities.” Juries tend to agree. Knowing that, his adversaries often see the wisdom of settling his cases.  

Happily, a competitive nature can burn brightly in a personality which is neither stern nor sour. Larry Breslow is almost always smiling. When not in court, his fast wit and ready laugh tend to put clients at ease. He lightens the moment for those who depend upon him so that they are better able to help him address the often-painful business of their case. His clients feel at home with him: his connection with them runs deep. True to the mission of a firm which places the attorney-client relationship at the foundation of every case, this lawyer exudes optimism and remains focused on the needs of his client, regardless of how pressurized a case may become.

Larry’s diverse background and experiences have helped shape his philosophy on the practice of law. His father exemplified the highest standards of legal practice, so from an early age Larry saw the law as a way to help people. Following law school, he spent several years in civil litigation and personal injury law before accepting a position as in-house counsel for a highly regarded publisher, where he also served on the magazine’s editorial board. He later joined a venture capital firm, where he analyzed business plans and made recommendations for companies to receive start-up money. He also developed a successful, web-based company that allowed golfers to support the National Down Syndrome Society through the purchase of a nationwide golf discount card. Yet he found himself longing to return to his roots and his passion … the practice of personal injury law.

And so it is that in 2005, a very dynamic and likeable guy became one of the trial attorneys at Rutberg Personal Injury Law. He brings to the firm a unique combination of skills, experience and proficiency. By virtue of his legal acumen and relentless pursuit of excellence, he obtains justice and fair compensation for his clients in case after case. No wonder that opposing counsel know him as a tireless and respected adversary. No wonder that his clients know him as a source of hope in difficult times. Abounding with energy and guided by a strong sense of right and wrong at all stages of litigation, settlement and trial, Larry Breslow is a source of pride to the firm and is affectionately recognized as the embodiment of its future.
