If you are looking for honest, understanding, knowledgeable WC attorney, look no further.

My wife and I can't speak highly enough of Attorney Kantrovitz. From our first contact with him, through the settling of my Workmen's Compensation case ( which was well over 2 years) he handled everything with the utmost professionalism. Attorney Kantrovitz is highly knowledgeable in his field. He is... honest and straightforward. He takes the time to explain each and every detail in terms that you can understand. He was their for us every step of the way. Dealing with Workmen's Compensation issues can be overwhelming and stressful at times, Attorney Kantrovitz was always supportive and honest about each situation that arose. We would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a WC attorney. We can't thank him enough!

Kind and Straightforward

I hired Steven Kantrovitz due to a worker's compensation issue. Steven patiently walked me through every step, told me what I could expect to happen, explained my options, answered every question and kept me updated throughout the whole process. He responded promptly to any email or phone call. I wou...ld highly recommend him to anyone!

We WON a complex mental health case!

I am a Registered Nurse and was injured at work when a patient’s son lunged at & attempted to cause me great bodily harm. I turned to Google after my employer told me that my work injury was complex and would NOT be covered by worker’s compensation insurance. I called Attorney Kantrovitz and he was a...vailable when I called and talked to me for over an hour. He stated it was not going to be easy but that we would win. Attorney Kantrovitz was by my side through a year of actual hell- he is almost always available to take my calls. The case was not easy. The insurer did not want to budge. After a conciliation hearing with an administrative judge, Attorney Kantrovitz was able to get me back wages dated back to my date of injury and benefits going forward. We then began the hearing process. I testified for many hours one day. After my day of testimony, Attorney Kantrovitz was able to successfully negotiate a lump-sum settlement with the insurer for the exact amount of money I requested for a settlement. A few days after the one year anniversary of my brutal attack I signed the papers for my settlement. I can finally rest easy as Attorney Kantrovitz’s hard work has left me in a place where I can focus on my children and my recovery. Attorney Kantrovitz is a genuinely kind person & fought so hard on my behalf. I am very grateful to Attorney Kantrovitz AND I paid him not one cent. When we settled the case, the insurer was required to pay his fees! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a compassionate yet hard-fighting attorney.

Lawyer for the Injured Worker...

Steve Kantrovitz is a lawyer for the injured worker. Never being injured before was scary enough, not knowing the process was even more intimidating. I say this because I had legitimate injuries confirmed by medical professionals, but in the work comp world, everything was grossly contested by the... employer, the insurance company, and even medical professionals whose special interests are to limit rising insurance premiums, as well as legal and medical expenses required to be paid by the employer. To say the system favors the employer is a understatement. (examples: I had a medical Dr state that I did not have injuries, and another say I could go back to work days after the initial injury, which went against my treating physician's strict instructions to remain out of work until cleared by a spine specialist. I even had my physical therapist say that they tend to favor the employer in workman comp cases.) Due to this cat & mouse game with the insurance company that denied my right to medical attention for my injuries and fraudulent medical professionals who fabricated the level of my injuries, I was fired for not following some of their orders and denied coverage for my doctors requested appointments. On top of trying to keep up on paying bills, two children to support, brink of eviction and the workman's comp games, my wife and I were driven to the point of extreme emotional stress. To think I was going to tackle the responsibility of this process alone, "Please DON'T." There are too many legalities and road blocks leading to an extremely long enough road for you and your family in order to protect your rights and attend to your injuries; the emotional and financial toll is crippling, to say the least. With that said, I felt it was my moral obligation to thank Steven over and over again for his undivided support, dedication, and insight; without him, from beginning to end, I would have had zero direction or outlook into what I was facing, which was a "battle." Steven was spot on with his time-frames, what we would be facing and highly proactive in regards to the legal processes. He was ALWAYS there to answer a question or as my sounding board to vent to.....Most of all he values his clients and feels their distress and pain throughout the entire process. Steven, you are a tenacious supporter of injured workers and you unselfishly demonstrated that, especially in the end, when you fought and did what was truly in the best interest of myself and my family, even over your own financial benefit. Thank you Thank you immensely (doesn't seem to be enough to just say those words) Steven Kantrovitz!

workmans comp,

my first phone call with Steven, gave me the feeling I was his most important client. Steven is straight forward and tells you what you can expect. Everything Steven told me what would happen and how things work did happen. He listened to my story and he was compassionate, and always listened and he ...did not push for anything, He always communicated everything back to me so I understood and sometimes that was a couple of times, but he did this with a smile. First he had my workman comp payment corrected and he was almost to the dollar correct, what he told me they owed me, he made sure they compensated me the right amount including back pay. This all happened in a short time and made my life a lot easier. Second he got me a settlement and did this with speed, knowledge, and no unreasonable expectations. I would recommend Steven to anybody , family and friends, God forbid I ever need lawyer again I will go to Steven and If he could not help me I would trust him completely with whomever he would recommend. Overall if you need a excellent, trustworthy, honest, compassioned Lawyer /man hire Steven H Kantrovitz
