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.

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.

Great Lawyer - Boston

Kantrovitz is a great lawyer that shows a lot of compassion for his clients dealing with their personal life along with their injury. The Kantrovitz office is also extremely professional, on time with answering calls and answer any question

A LAWYER AND A LIFESAVER

After being seriously injured by two suspects while doing my job, the insurance company began telling me I was fine and to go back to work, days after I was released from the hospital. I needed a good attorney and was referred to Steve Kantrovitz. Not only did Steve win my case, but the insurance co.... had to apologize in open court for the false statements they made about me and the circumstances of my case. The next concern I had was weather or not Steve would help me after the case had ended. I had been told by several of my cohorts at work that once my case was over in the court room lawyers were impossible to get them to call you back.Steve has returned every single phone call that I requested. Yes thats right all of them, day, night and even weekends Steve would always return my calls and was patient and spoke to me in terms even I could understand. There was a point before my case was settled that I could not take it anymore. My family and friends were very concerned about my well being not only because the insurance co. was being unreasonable , but my injuries were not being treated by the proper professionals. I absolutely would NOT be exaggerating in saying that Steve was one of the professionals who continually encouraged and informed me in laymans terms about the court proceedings. I have and will continue to refer family and friends to STEVE Kantrovitz. Having to deal with an unusual situation as far as the circumstances of the incident that led to my injuries, I am so grateful that I was lucky enough to get an understanding and compassionate attorney, that is Steve Kantrovitz. For the last four years Steve has always been there for me, answering legal questions, encouraging my wife and me to try and remain patient, Steve is unlike any attorney I have ever dealt with, even if I had to get an attorney for another type of case, I would still go to Steve Kantrovitz and ask for an attorney he would reccomend , because I trust him completely.

Excellent Lawyer Great Guy!

After falling down the stairs at work I was told by my Dr that I needed spine surgery. When My appointments started being denied by workman's compensation I did not know where to turn to for help. I had heard Stevens add on WBZ and gave him a call. He instantly put my mind at ease and explained wh...at was going on and what to expect over the next several weeks. Because of Steve the insurance company accepted liability for my work injury.
