Meet Gary Brustin, Cycling Attorney

Picture

Avid cyclist for forty years specializing in
Protecting the rights of injured cyclists.



Gary Brustin has been an avid cyclist for over forty years. He is an accident lawyer who specializes in protecting the right of injured cyclists. His entire law practice has been limited to cycling cases for the last twenty years. He has handles over 1,000 bicycle accident cases. He continues to personally represent each client.

 Gary's philosophy is simple and parallels virtually every Vehicle Code in the country... "Bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as motor vehicles". For some reason motorists are generally unaware of this concept and this is where Mr. Brustin's will explain to us how his experience is called into play.

His unique perspective allows him to fully understand all points of view. Sometimes, he rides the accident route to personally appreciate the rider's perspective. He also drives the road in a motor vehicle to evaluate the defendant's view. Ultimately, he can make balanced recommendations so we can decide the most reasonable course of action.

Mr. Brustin clearly sympathizes with us regarding our injuries. He has been involved in several cycling accidents that prevented him from riding for extended periods. He feels that damages relating to "loss of enjoyment of cycling" can best be explained by a fellow cyclist.

Meeting will start at 7:00 pm with Anita's dinner served at 6:30.
Door prizes will be drawn.


Plan to arrive at 6:30 pm for dinner and the presentation will start at 7:00 pm.
