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

Dear Dennis Thanks do much for taking the time to prepare the review for me. Mostly, thank you for trusting me with the handling of your most recent case. As will your earlier case back in 2002 , together we overcame all of the challenges we faced and resolved the current matter favorably, and most certainly in your best interest. I thank you again for trusting me and your patience. The process can sometimes move slower than we like, but at the end of the day, all worked out as it should have. Best of luck going forward and keep me posted Dennis. Steven

Amazing

Don’t waste your time calling anyone else!! Steven was amazing from the first phone call when I left a message on a Sunday saying I got hurt on the job and he called me Monday morning. He took great care of me and made my stressful process stress free especially when the insurance didn’t want to p...ay my weekly benefits He was right on top of it. I appreciate everything he did and highly recommend.

Hi Nick Thanks so much for the wonderful review. I am so pleased I made you felt comfortable throughout the entire process. You are 100% correct, the process can be extremely stressful, particularly when the insurance company does not want to pay benefits or when they deny medical care. Thank you again for trusting me with the handling of your case. I will always stand ready to help with whatever you require going forward. Please keep me posted when you ultimately return to the work force. Wherever you land, they will be lucky to have you Nick. Steven

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

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
