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...
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

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...
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.

Thank You
At a time when I needed a Workers' Compensation lawyer, a family member recommended Steven. I did my own research and decided I would give Steven a call. I am glad I did. Steven listened to the details of my injury, answered my questions and gave me peace of mind that everything was going to be o...
Dear Carolyn Thanks so much for taking the time out to do this review for me. Hopefully other folks who are in a similar situation take the time to carefully do their homework when looking for an attorney. If an individual does not have a person who can make the referral directly, based upon personal experience, they are left with the daunting task of finding the lawyer online or relying upon TV advertising. I do find that attorney reviews, like yours, are very helpful to folks in the search process. Again, I wanted to personally thank you taking the time to do this review. I also wanted to thank you for trusting me with the handling of your case. I know you where very reluctant to get me involved initially, as you thought all was going as it should be. I am pleased we kept in touch as you moved through the initial phases of the process yourself. When you benefits were terminated, I was able to step in, fully up to speed. This allowed us to file your claim quickly and get your benefits reinstated without a terrible delay. I look forward to our continued work together. Steve

Excellent job
Steven was the best referral I ever had in my life time . I didn’t know what to expect with my case that I didn’t even know I had one till I met him. The way Steve turn things around for me it was more then I ever expected. I forever will be thankful for your excellency, and for job well done,
Hi Maria Thanks for taking the time out do do this review. Believe it or not, your situation is not all that uncommon. Very frequently people do not even know the rights they may have under the workers compensation statute or if they even have a viable case. Thankfully we were able to connect or you were able to share your story. Putting the pieces together on your very complicated situation revealed that your injury was in fact work related. Under the workers compensation statute, your level of legal protection is far better than the way your employer would have preferred to cover you under a long-term situation. Thank you for your patience and your trust. Steve

Steve Kantrovitz, Highly recommended
Hi, I am in need of surgery for a work-related injury. I have exhausted all of my options up to this point, with therapy, injections, home exercises, doctor visits along with plenty of heat and ice. My doctor requested me to have surgery through the workmen's comp insurance company. The Insurance C...
Hi Joe Thanks so very much for the kind words. Knowing that I am explaining and educating you every step of the way is the greatest compliment. Having helped injured workers for more than 30 years, the greatest challenge for my clients is getting a good understanding of what is happening and why. The workers compensation statute is supposed to be designed as a no-fault wage replacement system. Unfortunately, many employers and insurance companies turn this law designed to help people into something it is not and should not be. To me, success should be measured not only by the outcome, but being able to effectively and patiently communicating with your client so they can fully understand what is happening. Again Joe, thanks for the kind words. I will continue to fight and educate you every step of the way. Steve
