A Professional Lawyer that fights for you,

My story: I had fallen at my place of employment and reported to the company that I work that same day. I felt there may be a serious injury to my left shoulder as the weeks/months went by because of continued pain. I did continue working with pain moving/lifting my arm. My employer did eventuall...y give me the information I needed to proceed with check up after weeks of asking for it? IN SHORT: Turned out I had suffered massive rotatory cuff tears to my left shoulder, resulting in surgery and months of physical therapy. INTERESTING OUTCOMES: During therapy after the surgery my shoulder was telling me something still wasn’t right! Pain continued, and range of motion was not coming back. Meanwhile the workers comp surgeon was telling me I’m fine every check up! And I should prepare to return to work soon, every time I checked in with him. I had bad feeling about everything that has happened up to now. I was suffering from the same pain before the surgery, and the workers comp doctor was releasing me to return to work soon. Ignoring everything I told him, and my concern. I called Steven Kantrovitz! Because from the very beginning my place of employment had no concern of the pain I suffered daily from the fall. Then dragging out me getting necessary workers comp documents to see a doctor. Resulting in rotary cuff surgery. Then having a WC Dr telling me I should be getting ready to return to work even though I’m telling the Dr something still didn’t feel right, it still hurts. Steven pushed workers comp for a second MRI that indeed show the surgery failed. Yes, After all I just explained above the surgery did fail, I was right all along! Two surgeries later and currently still in therapy, I am finally getting back to normal life! Steven Kantrovitz settled my case! His professionalism got me a VERY comfortable reward. Much more than I imagined. Believe me when I say Steven is a genuine good man that really cares, and he knows his stuff! BOTH Steven AND Colleen helped me through some tough days during this long ordeal, both always taking the time to explain what’s happening in a way I can understand. They always called me back if I could not get through, and NEVER rushed me off the phone. Best thing I ever did work related was call Steven Kantrovitz! In the end, It was kinda sad for me the day my case settled, I will miss talking with them both. Steven and Colleen are wonderful real people.. I’m so thankful I found them, and everything they did for me.

Dear Bill Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to write your review. As we had discussed, for those folks with no prior experience with an attorney, or a good and reliable friend to make the referral, people are left with the daunting task of finding an attorney online or worse, via TV advertising. As Forest Gump said, life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get" In my view, reviews provide a reliable vehicle for the consumer to make an educated choice. Thank you for taking the time to read the reviews, and selecting me as your attorney. I hope I did not disappoint! More important, I am thankful for your patience and trust. As we discussed, workers comp can be a slow and difficult process, but at the end of the day, things generally workout as they should. I am so pleased we were able to secure a good outcome and that you were able to find a new orthopedic surgeon who actually listened and cared about the well-being of his patient. In closing bill, I really appreciate your patience and trust. Colleen was also thankful for your kind review. I wish you the very best going forward. Take good care my friend. Steven

Attorney Kantrovitz is the best!

When I was injured at work, I had no idea what I was in for. I am so grateful to have Steve as my attorney. He is amazing! He is extremely knowledgeable and responsive, and he explains everything from beginning to end. He is so down-to-earth, very easy to talk to, and a straight shooter; he tells it... exactly like it is. He guided me through everything and made my life and this stressful process so much easier. Colleen is also amazing! She is very knowledgeable, proactive, and quick to respond, and she was a tremendous help to me through this process. Steve and Colleen are a dynamic team, and I can't say enough wonderful things about them. If I could give them ten stars, I would. I went through hell with my work injury, but because I had Steve representing me and Colleen helping me throughout the process, they made it so much easier for me so I could focus on taking care of myself. I did very well in the end, and without a doubt, it was all because of Steve! One of the best decisions I ever made! Thank you, Steve and Colleen! You are by far the best! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Dear Christina Thanks so very much for taking the time to prepare your thoughtful attorney review. I know it can be a bit of a pain navigating the website to do a review, but I find it is very helpful to folks in their search for a qualified attorney. I also wanted to thank you again for trusting me with the handling of your case. I Know it was a long and often times grueling process. At the end of the day, justice did prevail and we were successful in getting you all the medical care you required and also maintained your wage continuation until we moved in the direction of a final resolution. The end result was most certainly in your best interest. Your only remaining task is to finish your medical treatment and then, when ready, reenter the workforce with an employer who deserves you. I have every confidence that you will reenter the workforce in short order, and that you will be successful and shine, wherever you land. As we also discussed, I will always be there and available to you for whatever you require. In closing, I wanted to thank you again for preparing this thoughtful review and wanted to thank you again for trusting me with eh handling of your case. Take care and stay well Steve

Dear Mike Thanks so much for taking the time to do the attorney review for me. For those folks who do not have the benefit of a friend making a referral to an experienced and qualified attorney they are required to either go online or rely on attorney advertisements on TV. Unfortunately, the end result often does not work out well. Other than that, I am very pleased we had provided the services you both require and should expect. I agree that the end result was most certainly in your best interest. I really appreciate both your patience and trust throughout this difficult process. Very best of luck going forward Mike. Steve

He is the person both you and your family need

No matter how hard I have searched, no matter how hard I try I cannot find the words to properly express our gratitude to Mr. Steven Kantrovitz. When I first contacted Steven’s office the first thing he said is “ Before we do anything else, we need to make sure that your dad is ok”. Throughout our en...tire phone call I was a hysterical mess, because nothing like this has ever happened to us, nor did we think something like this would ever happen. As soon as he answered the phone, my mind went blank and I just broke down crying, and he stopped everything he was doing to console me, when I was inconsolable, and let me know that it everything was going to be ok, from that moment, I knew he was the person for our family. First and foremost, when you call his office you get a person. You’re not waiting to be patched through someone for an hour to two hours, nor are you waiting 2-3 week for a response back when you leave a message or an email. We have been working with Steven for over three years now and the impact that he and Colleen have had on our family has been a blessing from God himself. I have never worked with anyone in my life who cares about his clients and their family the way that Steven does. Whenever he called, no matter how stressful that situation, no matter what we were facing, he was always so cheerful and so delightful to speak wit and he would always tell us “I gotcha and we are gonna get through this.” His demeanor, his compassion and the care he has for his clients, and what he does is unheard of. It’s like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. He goes above and beyond to provide you with the best outcome, the most amazing and client centered support, and collaborative representation anyone could ever ask and hope for. Not once did we ever feel like we were going into any of our hearings, or any situation blindsided or alone because we knew that Stephen was with us, always. He had our backs and put us first, and it honestly was as if he was a guardian angel put before us to get us through such a difficult time in our lives. If you are looking for representation, if you are looking for someone who cares, if you are looking for someone who is going to be there for you and your loved ones; do yourself a favor and call Steven Kantrovitz now. He is the person for you. He is the person you want in your corner. He is who you want on your side.

Dear Greeny and Golfrid Thank you so very much for the kind and thoughtful review. I don't often say this, but I am speechless. Much more than the favorable outcome we achieved, after extensive litigation, I am most happy that Colleen and I provided you and your family with the comfort, compassion and assurances you most certainly deserved. I do think that compassion and empathy are an essential ingredient a law firm should be providing to their clients. When an injury occurs, physical, financial, and emotional factors immediately follow thereafter. I am so pleased that we where able to provide your family that level of care. Unfortunately many of the "big" firms treat their clients like a number and are concerned only with the bottom-line and not the totality of the injuries sustained by their clients, financially, physically and emotionally! Going forward , I wish you and your family the best. Please keep Colleen and I posted with how your dad are doing. Thank you again for the kind words and for trusting us with the handling of your case. Best regards Steven and Colleen

The man you need!

I met Steve Kantrovitz on the recommendation of a co-workers father. Small back history: many many years ago I had a worker's comp case with a different law firm and it was a traumatizing, horrible experience. I swore that, short of breaking my back or my neck, I would just suck it up so as to never ...go on workman's comp. NEVER have to be involved with a workers comp lawyers again. Well fast forward many years later and I had two accidents in a row at work. I did as I said I would, I dealt with all that pain and trauma. Think about that for a minute folks. The experience I had with a previous law firm left such a bad taste in my mouth that I would rather just suffer from the injury than go on workman's comp. Fast forward after THAT just under a year later and I could no longer ignore my injuries. I was terrified of having to go through that horrible experience all over again. Thankfully my coworker recommended to me this guy he knew named Steve. I quizzed my coworker for a 2 hours. I called Steven's office to make an appointment. After a return call my wife and I drove to his office. Immediately upon meeting Steve I felt most of my fears alleviated. He was not some slick talking, overbearing TV ad ambulance chasing shyster that I had come to expect. He has a great manner about him, with an easy laugh yet a serious, but not somber, demeanor when it came to getting down to business. We went over my case thoughtfully and completely. There was no rush. There was no hurry. He INSISTED that I understand there were no stupid questions. I told him about my previous experience. He knew the firm we were discussing. Without bad mouthing his peers he fully understood why I had been hesitant to come to another lawyer and explained to me how much it bothered him that because of negative experiences people like me would rather be in pain than go over their options with a legal professional. After a lengthy, thoughtful and thoroughly informative meeting I asked him about compensation for my injuries. He informed me that he believed that I was due for compensation but first, and I quote, "Chris, my first concern is getting you the care you need." Let that sink in for a minute folks because that is verbatim. Friends, you cannot fake that level of sincerity. I signed up with Steve right there and then. That was a few years ago. Fast forward to now in November of 2022 and, good to his word, he has more than gotten me the care I need. Doctor's appointments, therapy, testing, therapeutic equipment, spinal and cervical injections, multiple mri's, surgeries and so on and so forth. Things the insurance company didn't want to pay for. Things they constantly bust my chops for. Steve fought (and continues to fight) for, and got approved, every step of the way. A little while back we finally went to court. Recently we got a decision from the court and it was across the board in my favor. I'm man enough to admit that when Steve called to tell me the good news I was emotional. Years of not just pain but anxiety and constant worry finally faded away with that one phone call. I knew for the first time in a long time that I was going to be alright. That I and my family were going to be alright. That is because of Steve Kantrovitz.

Dear Chris So sorry it took this long for me to respond to your review. Your thoughtful and detailed review left me speechless. I know, that is saying a lot with my long winded self! Anyway, I am also pleased that you went into the detail you did with your other experience with the other law firm. Unfortunately all law firms do not treat their clients the same way and do not get the same results. I am so pleased you took the leap of faith to try it again with another attorney and trusted me with the handling of your case. We still have a long way to go Chris. We are now in the drivers seat, and that is where I intend to keep us. And yes Chris, you are alright, and that's where I intend to keep us. Thanks again Chris. Steve
