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

Compassionate and Professional WC attorney

When injured at work in 2017 it became clear that chronic pain was now my reality. I had no clue as to what my rights were and how to protect them. I began researching attorneys online in Massachusetts and was impressed with the client reviews I read and the awards that Steven had earned. My first... call to Steven was in the middle of the workday and without hesitation he took my call and for the next 20m minutes plus, he answered my questions, made suggestions and was incredibly knowledgeable. Weeks later I called Steven again and was amazed that he remembered the details of our earlier call and without skipping a beat advised me once again on what options were available to me. I knew then that Steven was the attorney that I wanted to represent me, and I have never looked back. There are many examples of the work that Steven has done thus far but the first that comes to mind when Steven discovered an error in my weekly compensation and successfully fought to have it corrected and the difference was paid to me. I find Steven to be genuine, wise and caring. Above all he is a confident, well-respected and determined advocate that will represent you like no other.

Dear Lisa Thanks so much for your detailed and thoughtful review. More than anything that I have done, it gives me the greatest satisfaction that I was able to answer your questions and educate you without pressuring you to move in a direction you were not comfortable with. I truly understand how complicated the workers compensation system can be, even from the perspective of an experienced attorney. In my view, my first and most important role is to educate you with respect to your rights and provide you with all legal options. You can then make the most informed decisions. Again, I wanted to thank you for your trust in me. I will continue to strive forward protecting your interests as long as you require my services. It has been my pleasure and honor to represent you.

Ms.

I am the wife of a man using Attorney Steven Kantrovitz in a Worker’s Compensation case. Although I generally do not write reviews, I feel compelled to share my experience with Attorney Kantrovitz's handling of my husband’s case. As the spouse of the injured party, I have relied heavily on Attorney... Kantrovitz’s expertise and experience. I have had numerous questions, posed numerous scenarios to Attorney Kantrovitz, and have always walked away feeling that I understood each possible outcome. Attorney Kantrovitz has taken the time to explain “the process” of dealing with a worker’s comp case repeatedly throughout the life of my husband’s case. As a spouse of the injured party, i have had my own questions noting that any outcome ultimately impacts my husband as well as our family. Attorney Kantrovitz has always acknowledged my concerns and to date has provided both my husband and I with competent advice/suggestions that will best support our family while ensuring my husband is afforded the best resolution to each and every aspect of his case.

Dear Kathy and Joe Thank you so much for the kind words and the very thoughtful review. I am so pleased that you took the time out of your schedule to voice your opinions. I could not agree with you any more. An injury at work not only impacts the life of the injured worker, but greatly impacts the lives of that persons loved ones. In my view an injury at work is a family affair and I view my job as such. Not only should the injured work be educated with all aspects of the case, but his or her family members should be educated as well. Again, thank you for bringing this front and center and thank you for the kinds words and trust. I will continue to fight for your husbands rights and educate all parties along the way. Thank you again, Steve

Great guy

Steven is a great lawyer and a good guy . He told me what he could do for me and he didn’t what he said he would. Every step of the way he kept me informed with everything I needed to know . Thanks again Steven .

Highly recommend!

I was injured at work and lost the tip of my right ring finger and was soon pretty overwhelmed by process of workers compensation and was given Mr Kantrovitz's number from a friend of mine who used him in his injury case. It was one of the best decisions I made hiring Steven. He explained everything ...in detail and was clear about the whole process. There are some seriously complex issues that come up with workers compensation claims and with Steven's help, they were navigated with ease.
