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

"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

I HAVE THE BEST ATTORNEY

I am starting this review the way I will end this review that I HAVE THE BEST ATTORNEY. Being injured at work I tried to solve my injury the way I thought was right see a doctor and try to get healthy faced with pressure from my company to participate in their light duty program and my concern that t...his was different I knew I needed representation. Calling attorney Kantrowitz's office they went straight to work on my case. Colleen was wonderful and took down all my information Steve called me and explained everything I needed to know about my case his knowledge of workman comp law and his personal caring of how you are doing gave me great comfort through a stressful situation. Steve and Colleen always returned s AND THERE WERE MANY the same day. My case was successful and truly thankful to Steve and his team. Like I said I HAVE THE BEST ATTORNEY.

Dear Mike Thanks so much for the review. If you were trying to make us blush! You win, you did. All kidding aside, you were an absolute pleasure to work with, multiple call and all. I truly understand how stressful and complicated this process can be. Over the years you had done a wonderful job trying to navigate previous issues on your own. When it came to this situation, being more significant and having greater and long term effects, you made the right decision to obtain representation. I am grateful that you placed both your trust and confidence in me and Colleen. All I want now is for you to go forward and enjoy your life. Your a good hard working man Mike. You deserve only the best. Again, thank you for the kind words and your trust. Stay well and keep in touch. Your attorney and friend! Steve

Great attorney

Highly recommend. Steve made the process of navigating workman’s comp law super easy. Always answered any questions I had and was quick to respond to phone calls and emails. Colleen was also great. If Steve wasn’t available she was more than happy to help me out.

Dear Eddy Thanks so much for the kind review. Thanks also for your patience. I was so pleased with how things worked out. You really went above and beyond with your commitment as well. You stared the process of vocational rehabilitation. You redefined yourself and found a new vocation that fits with your physical limitations after the injury. My job was being sure the insurance company did their part medically and financially. All you need to do now is shine in your new job. I am, so, so pleased things worked out as hoped and anticipated. Thanks to both you and your wife for both your patience and trusting me with the handling of your case. Please keep me posted on how you are doing with the new job or if you run into an issue going forward. Stay well Eddy Steve

A rare breed of Lawyer !

Steve Kantrovitz is a breath of fresh air when it comes to workers comp lawyers. From the start he fully explained every aspect of the upcoming workers compensation case. He was always available to E-mail or talk to and would always be blunt and honest. Colleen was so much help and just a reliable . ...Steve always seemed to know the twist and turns that would follow my case. I truly believe he puts everything into winning all his cases and would fully recommend him to anyone considering a workers comp lawyer. Chuck

Dear Chuck Thank you so much for the kind and thoughtful review. Really means so much to me. As you know, it is my goal to keep you in the loop with everything that is happening with your case and to try to educate you along the way. The workers compensation statute can be a complicated mine field and I really try my best to keep you informed with everything I am doing and why things happen the way they do. At the end of the day, justice won, and you are now in a position to receive the benefits you should have been getting all along. We are just getting started Chuck, but we are most certainly in the drivers seat. Steve
