Posted by Marc P | February 10, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

Extremely Knowledgeable Attorney

I had an accident at work and after many frustrating months of dealing with the insurance company I contacted and hired Mr. Kantrovitz to represent me. The very first thing he did was to ask me if I was OK, was I getting the medical treatments I needed. He asked me to explain the accident, my injurie...s and the treatments I had received up to that point . He explained how things worked and that he had the experience and knowledge to help me thru it. In the end he felt more of a reassuring friend than an attorney. Thru out the 2 1/2 years it took to settle my case, he answered my many stupid questions and concerns without hesitation and always ensured me that the questions were not stupid and what to expect next. His other great asset is his office manager Colleen. She dealt with the insurance company confirming appointments, followed up on paperwork and always returned a phone call explaining the outcome. Steve always kept me informed. I would recommend his services without hesitation.

Thanks for the wonderful review Marc. I am so pleased that things all worked out as anticipated. As you can imagine, not always the case. I am also pleased that once we got through the initial complicated issues with respect to what injuries were related to your case, called a causation issue, then things then moved along relatively smoothly. Few bumps in the road, but together, as a team, we smoothed those bumps out. As time passed, I also felt like we developed a great friendship, with both you and your wife Judy. Your questions were never stupid, and I was always happy to answer them. At the end of the day, my job is to both represent you and to educate you as well. Having a sound understanding of all issues in your case is paramount. As long as you understand all issues in dispute, you can never, never make a mistake. Thanks to both you and Judy for trusting me with the handling of your case. Please keep in touch, both with respect to issues of your case and to just check in and say hi. Oh, Colleen also said thank you for the kind words. You are right, she is awesome. Without Colleen I could not provide the level of services that every client deserves and should expect. Take care my good friend! Steve

Dear Dave Thanks so much for the wonderful and heartfelt review. Brings me such joy knowing that I made you feel comfortable through this often times difficult process. I also feel we have developed a close friendship throughout. We had a few bumps in the road along the way, as is often the case. I had indicated that this can be a frustrating process and we would get there. I know it was challenging at times, but thank you for trusting me. I am also pleased you had reached out early in the process. What your employer was demanding of you, despite your honesty and a negative test, was both unreasonable and wrong. At the end of the day, all worked out as anticipated and as it should have. Going forward, I hope you shine and find an employer who deserves what you have to offer. Take care my friend Steve

Client/Manager

From the moment I met Attorney Steven H. Kantrovitz back in 2007 he has been nothing but professional, patient and honest with me. He kept me informed of every aspect of my case and when I didn’t understand something he explained it in a way that made everything perfectly clear. What I appreciate ...most about Steven was that he never asked me to fabricate anything at anytime. This is worth noting because I once spoke with an attorney who immediately suggested that I lie. Thank you for making a difficult situation less difficult. Your kindness, honesty and realness made our meetings a lot less stressful. I highly recommend your firm to anyone looking for a good lawyer.

Dear Phyllis Sorry for the delay in responding your wonderful review. I am so pleased that I made you feel comfortable, confident and informed throughout this very difficult process. I am also pleased that I provided you with a high level of trust. I do understand that lawyers do sometimes have a reputation of being less than trustworthy. At the end of the day, after many surgeries, and after many years of you attempting to continue your employment, things all worked out the way they were supposed to. I did take a bit of litigation to for things to work out the way they should have, but in the end, with our joint efforts, a good and fair result was reached. Thank you for you trust and allowing me to represent you with your case. Take care and be well! Steve

Compassionate and Professional WC attorney

When injured at work in 2017 it became clear that chronic pain was now my reality. I had no clue as to what my rights were and how to protect them. I began researching attorneys online in Massachusetts and was impressed with the client reviews I read and the awards that Steven had earned. My first... call to Steven was in the middle of the workday and without hesitation he took my call and for the next 20m minutes plus, he answered my questions, made suggestions and was incredibly knowledgeable. Weeks later I called Steven again and was amazed that he remembered the details of our earlier call and without skipping a beat advised me once again on what options were available to me. I knew then that Steven was the attorney that I wanted to represent me, and I have never looked back. There are many examples of the work that Steven has done thus far but the first that comes to mind when Steven discovered an error in my weekly compensation and successfully fought to have it corrected and the difference was paid to me. I find Steven to be genuine, wise and caring. Above all he is a confident, well-respected and determined advocate that will represent you like no other.

Dear Lisa Thanks so much for your detailed and thoughtful review. More than anything that I have done, it gives me the greatest satisfaction that I was able to answer your questions and educate you without pressuring you to move in a direction you were not comfortable with. I truly understand how complicated the workers compensation system can be, even from the perspective of an experienced attorney. In my view, my first and most important role is to educate you with respect to your rights and provide you with all legal options. You can then make the most informed decisions. Again, I wanted to thank you for your trust in me. I will continue to strive forward protecting your interests as long as you require my services. It has been my pleasure and honor to represent you.

Thank You

At a time when I needed a Workers' Compensation lawyer, a family member recommended Steven. I did my own research and decided I would give Steven a call. I am glad I did. Steven listened to the details of my injury, answered my questions and gave me peace of mind that everything was going to be o...kay. He was right. Steven was successful with my case. Thank you.

Dear Carolyn Thanks so much for taking the time out to do this review for me. Hopefully other folks who are in a similar situation take the time to carefully do their homework when looking for an attorney. If an individual does not have a person who can make the referral directly, based upon personal experience, they are left with the daunting task of finding the lawyer online or relying upon TV advertising. I do find that attorney reviews, like yours, are very helpful to folks in the search process. Again, I wanted to personally thank you taking the time to do this review. I also wanted to thank you for trusting me with the handling of your case. I know you where very reluctant to get me involved initially, as you thought all was going as it should be. I am pleased we kept in touch as you moved through the initial phases of the process yourself. When you benefits were terminated, I was able to step in, fully up to speed. This allowed us to file your claim quickly and get your benefits reinstated without a terrible delay. I look forward to our continued work together. Steve
