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

My Faith paid off

While working at a seasonal contract position, I was on my feet for many hours a day as a private chef. My knee began hurting but I didn't think much of it until one day I couldn't put any weight on it at all. I went to the doctor to discover I had an overuse injury. The workers comp insurance instan...tly denied me and also told me there is no compensation for over use injuries. This is where my journey with Mr. Kantrovitz begins. I searched the internet for a lawyer because I believed I should be compensated and I also wanted to know my legal rights. When I reached out to him I was a little hesitant because of what the insurance had told me about overuse injuries. Once I explained my story, he accepted my case with no hesitation. In this moment, I felt hope again because picturing an injury that had me debilitated and unable to meet my financial needs was scary. First thing I did was listen to his advice and continued to see the doctor. Along with documenting and recording all medical transactions. In the beginning I wasn't able to get full care until the insurance would accept my claim. Mr. Kantrovitz worked very efficiently and with great confidence to win my case. I found him to be very knowledgeable, so I put all of my faith in his experience and guidance. On the day of our court case, there were a few tense moments when the other lawyer tried to make harmful claims against my case, but Mr. Kantrovitz was prepared and his responses were documented as well. This is what won my case! I would definitely recommend his services to anyone dealing with a workers comp situation. His knowledge and experience won't let you down. Thank you for such a professional and positive experience. And much of the credit goes to his Office Manager Colleen! (She is an absolute gem. Aware, knowledgeable and makes you feel well taken care of!)

Dear Kim Thanks for the wonderful review and sorry it took me a bit to formally thank you on this forum. I am very pleased that you took the time to research and find the best attorney for you. Your case was most certainly complex, from a legal perspective, but I was extremely confident that your case was just and that we would be successful. I appreciate your trust and your patience as the process played out. I know it took a while to finally get a date to appear before our assigned judge. Once that date came, the judge agreed with our position and ordered the appropriate benefits. Following the court order we were then able to finally resolve the case favorably. I know it can take a lot to place your trust in someone you do not know. Thank you for your faith in me. Colleen also wanted me to thank you for the kind words. You are most certainly correct, she is a gem, and I could not do this without her assistance. Steven

I could not have asked for a better attorney.

I had a very difficult workers compensation case, where the severity of my injury negatively affected my mental health and personal life.I was denied important treatment that would potentially improve my injury. Even though the insurance made weekly payments, it was not even close to my regular salar...y. I worked for 20 years at the same job with great pay and benefits and this injury took a serious toll in my financial life. The insurance dragged this case for as long as they could to minimize the amount of my settlement. Suddenly they stopped my weekly benefits and did not have an offer to settle my case. Steven worked very diligently and professionally to reinstate my weekly benefits while the settlement was being discussed. He worked with the insurance and always kept me informed of the process. I received an offer that was not consistent with the extent of my injury and the workers compensation laws. Steven made sure that they were back to the negotiation table and obtained what I deserved. He was able to obtain additional benefits for me that will extend after the settlement. I could not have asked for a better attorney, Steven was superb and very thorough in all the necessary steps to win my case and was extremely knowledgeable and helpful of every aspect of his legal work and navigating the legal system in favor of his clients. Thank you so much Steven for all your support.

Dear Diana Thanks so much for the kind and heart felt review. I am so pleased that I met your expectations in the handling of the case. I know it was a long, long road with a lot of fighting with the insurance company with what you required medically and also finally reaching a fair and appropriate settlement. You had done pretty well handling things on your own for a while. When things got more tricky, you did the right thing reaching out to a qualified and experienced attorney. Hopefully your research and the attorney reviews helped in your decision making process. In the end, I agree that all went well and that we reached a fair resolution of your case. Again, thank you for your patience and your trust in me. Steven Steven H. Kantrovitz, Esq.

"My Lawyer is Great !!"

Attorney Steven H. Kantrovitz - I would highly recommend him! From the first day of our initial conversation in 2021, until the end of my case in 2022, Mr. Kantrovitz has answered all of my questions thoroughly and compassionately. He took the time to listen to my concerns and explained my workers... compensation case with expertise. His legal knowledge and professionalism went above my expectations. Attorney Kantrovitz was trustworthy , caring, hard working and down to earth person. He approached everything with expertise, coupled with a wonderful wit that made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. His assistant , Colleen was very professional, courteous and timely with her response time and caring disposition.

Dear Stephanie Thanks so much for taking the time to prepare this review. I am so pleased that you were satisfied with my representation and that I put you at ease throughout the process. I honestly do believe that the compassion and empathy factor is something that is often lacking in my line of work. In my view, keeping you up to date, educated and calm is an essential function of my job. I am pleased you stayed the course, despite a few bumps in the road. At the end of the day, all went as expected and as it should have. Again, I wanted to thank you for the review and most important, your trust. Stay well and please reach out if you have any questions or if you run into any issues down the road. Thanks again Steven
