“Look No Further”

I was given Atty: Kantrovitz’s phone number from a mutual acquaintance after I had shoulder surgery. After Six months of PT my rehab was not progressing well so I called Atty: Kantrovitz. We met for two hours and when I explained my situation the first thing Steve said to me was to continue with reha...b and hopefully my shoulder would heal and I would be able to go back to work, but if I continued to have problems he would help me with whatever I wanted to do. His first concern was my health and well-being. We talked at length about family, sports, work, etc.. Atty: Kantrovitz also discussed every scenario with W/C and how each situation could play out. When I left our meeting I didn’t even think twice about looking for another attorney, if I ended up needing one. Unfortunately for me, my shoulder surgery did not work, but “The Best” decision I ever made was hiring Atty: Kantrovitz. That’s not an exaggeration! I had six surgeries and for Five years I had to experience every step of the process involved with W/C and I couldn’t imagine having anyone other than Atty: Kantrovitz representing me as he had my back every step of the way. It didn’t matter what the issue was, Steve was there to rectify the problem, like Drs appts, denials, problems with pay etc. Atty Kantrovitz would call me in advance and let me know what a future hearing was about and what possibly could happen, but unlikely to happen. Because of Covid I was not required to appear in person for most of the hearings but after every hearing Steve would call and let me know how things went and in my case the court always agreed with our side. Every Time! This was the most stressful time in my life not knowing how things would play out but every time I spoke with Steve he assured me that everything would be fine. I always felt at ease after talking with Steve. We ended up settling and I know that Atty: Kantrovitz got the best settlement possible for myself and my family. Atty: Kantrovitz never once pushed me to settle and move on at any point during these last five years. It was always what was best for me. Every step in the W/C process that Steve had told me how things would go, played out exactly as he said it would. Not only did I get the “Best Attorney”, I gained a “Very Good Friend”! I also can’t forget Colleen, Steve’s assistant. She was always there for me when Steve was unavailable or busy with other clients. I cannot emphasize enough when when I say “look No Further” Contact Atty: Kantrovitz you will not regret it!

Dear Paul Thanks so much for the wonderful and heartfelt review. Over the last several years I think we have come to be great friends, in addition to our wonderful working relationship. I am so pleased that I kept you well informed throughout this difficult process, and did not put any pressure on you to secure my counsel. You did have a wonderful job with people who also cared about you. That, unfortunately is not always the case. Had everything worked out well with your medical care, I would have encouraged you to return to work, without any reservation. Unfortunately the severity of your injury did not allow a successful return to work. We then had to shift gears and establish a strategy to protect you legally, financially and medically. After much time, we were successful on all fronts. All I hope for now is that you have an improvement in your symptoms and you can start being Paul again. You truly are a good man and a good friend and I hope only for the best going forward. Stay in touch my friend. Steve

Exceptional

Steve and Colleen are two of the most compassionate and caring people I've meet. My journey after my accident would have been without a doubt unbearable without their help. Unfortunately I was a signed a very difficult insurance adjuster that relentless ignored paying benefits, approving treatment ...in a timely manner. It was a very long and emotionally trying time, but Steve was steadfast and confident of his knowledge of the law and was able to acquire a settlement that was justified and gave me an opportunity for re-education to help me get back to work in a field that still allows me to help others. I'm very appreciative of his hard work and kindness.

Dear Marci Thanks so much for your kinds words and trusting me with the handling of your case. I am so happy you reached out to me and allowed me to assist you. The claims adjuster was awful and completely unjustified in how she treated you. I am grateful that you held tight and allowed the law to work the way it was intended. At the end of the day, justice prevailed and now you can move forward and ultimately find work with an employer who deserves you. Keep me posted and I will continue to assist you with both your vocational services and medical benefits in any way needed. Again Marci, thank you for trust. The pleasure was all mine. Steven

Great Attorney

Steven was amazing , he always made me feel like i was in good hands. He worked hard for me always made me feel important and always listened to me thoroughly. Steven always explained things in a way i could understand and was always honest with me from day one about my case and what was the best ave...nue to take. We won my case because Steven never stopped fighting for me even when the other company kept putting up a fight. I went through a very traumatic incident at work and Steven made me feel like i was never alone in this fight and it was always a comforting thought knowing he was in my corner. I would recommend him to anyone who needs help in fighting for their rights and needs an experienced attorney who really cares about their clients..

Dear Tonya Thanks so much for the kind and heartfelt review. I was so pleased things worked out as they should. Yes, it was a difficult fight as both your employer and the insurance company tried to put up several roadblocks along the way. Thankfully, justice won at the end of the day. I always told you to trust the system and the process. I do understand that is hard to hear and believe when you are not receiving benefits and recovering from an injury. The process can often be slow, but justice won at the end of the day. Again, thank you so much for your patience and your trust in me. I will always be here for you should any issue arise going forward. Best of luck and thank you Steven

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

No Worries, We are In Good Hands

My husband was injured at work, we were afraid and didn't know what to expect. Neither of us had been through anything like this before. We were worried about my husband's diagnosis, treatment and bills. I was referred to Steven by a good friend, she told me not to worry, he's my lawyer everything wi...ll be fine and we were going to be in good hands. Naturally, I am a worry wart and so is my husband, but we talked with Steven. He was like talking to a good friend. He understood our anxieties, he understood my husband's injury told us verbatim what could happen medically, emotionally and legally. We were hoping that my husband would recover and return to his position at work. Steven told us if my husband recovered and wanted to return to his employer, he could do that and it was entirely up to my husband. We went through physical therapy and medical treatment. Unfortunately he was not able to return to work. During the year, we were able to reach out to Steven anytime we needed to. If we had a question about therapy, medical or Workman's Compensation he explained it to us. Ultimately, we had to come to the realization my husband was not going to return to work. We were facing a huge loss of income for us and concerned for my husband's ongoing medical bills associated with the injury. Steven had laid out a possible course of action prior to this happening and we pursued this with Steven's help. Due to Steven's legalese and savvy, he worked out the best settlement for us. Steven put us more at ease with our immediate, future, medical and financial situation and for this we will be eternally grateful. Steven you are the best. Thank you so much for your patience, kindness and understanding with us through this process.
