What Breakstone, White & Gluck, P.C. does

Breakstone, White & Gluck, P.C. is a Boston-headquartered personal injury law firm founded in 1992 by Marc L. Breakstone, David W. White, and Ronald E. Gluck. The firm operates exclusively in personal injury and wrongful death litigation, with 18 documented practice areas spanning auto, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian, bus, train, and construction accidents, as well as premises liability, product liability, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, burn injuries, dog bites, medical malpractice, gas explosions, and wrongful death. Practice is geographically limited to Massachusetts, served from a single office at 2 Center Plaza #530 in Boston’s Government Center, within walking distance of the John Adams Courthouse and Suffolk County Superior Court.

The firm generates revenue on a contingency fee basis — clients pay no attorney fees unless the firm recovers compensation, and the firm advances all case costs including expert witnesses, depositions, and court filings. Founding partners personally handle every case accepted, a deliberate constraint that limits volume but supports selectivity and trial-ready preparation. The firm’s technology stack is anchored by trial-presentation capabilities, including computer reenactments and interactive digital courtroom exhibits used to present complex medical and accident scenarios to juries. The firm does not advertise on billboards or television; demand is generated through word-of-mouth referrals, peer recognition (Top 100 Super Lawyers in Massachusetts and New England, Best Lawyers in America, Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent, AVVO 10/10), 155+ Google reviews at a 5-star rating, and community involvement through the Project KidSafe bicycle helmet donation program (36,000+ helmets distributed since 2013). The firm is privately held by its three founding partners, with no institutional investors, parent company, or external capital.
