Compassionate and Competent from Start to Finish
I highly recommend Attorney Kantrovitz and his legal assistant Colleen. After my accident, I faced multiple surgeries, therapy, and ongoing medical appointments. Trying to manage everything on my own was overwhelming. As soon as Attorney Kantrovitz and Colleen took over my workers' compensation case,...
Dear Alvaro and Lisa I wanted to thank you both for taking the time to prepare your thoughtful review. More important, I am happy and grateful that you both trusted Colleen and I with the handling of Alvaro's case. I truly understand and appreciate how overwhelming a workers compensation case can be, particularly when the medical issues and the treatment are complex. While it was most certainly a process, I think all worked out well, with both the medical care and the final resolution of Alvaro's case. I am pleased that you both felt well informed and educated throughout the process. In closing, I wanted to thank you both again and I wish you the best of luck going forward. Best regards, Steven H. Kantrovitz, Esq.

A Professional Lawyer that fights for you,
My story: I had fallen at my place of employment and reported to the company that I work that same day. I felt there may be a serious injury to my left shoulder as the weeks/months went by because of continued pain. I did continue working with pain moving/lifting my arm. My employer did eventuall...
Dear Bill Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to write your review. As we had discussed, for those folks with no prior experience with an attorney, or a good and reliable friend to make the referral, people are left with the daunting task of finding an attorney online or worse, via TV advertising. As Forest Gump said, life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get" In my view, reviews provide a reliable vehicle for the consumer to make an educated choice. Thank you for taking the time to read the reviews, and selecting me as your attorney. I hope I did not disappoint! More important, I am thankful for your patience and trust. As we discussed, workers comp can be a slow and difficult process, but at the end of the day, things generally workout as they should. I am so pleased we were able to secure a good outcome and that you were able to find a new orthopedic surgeon who actually listened and cared about the well-being of his patient. In closing bill, I really appreciate your patience and trust. Colleen was also thankful for your kind review. I wish you the very best going forward. Take good care my friend. Steven

Excellent Attorney
I got Steve‘s name from a coworker that was very happy with his results as am I .Steve and Colleen where A+ throughout my whole injury. Every time I called they were very gracious .if I left a message they got right back to me. Steve walked me through the whole process . He told me what was going to ...
Dear Mike Thanks so much for taking the time to do the attorney review for me. For those folks who do not have the benefit of a friend making a referral to an experienced and qualified attorney they are required to either go online or rely on attorney advertisements on TV. Unfortunately, the end result often does not work out well. Other than that, I am very pleased we had provided the services you both require and should expect. I agree that the end result was most certainly in your best interest. I really appreciate both your patience and trust throughout this difficult process. Very best of luck going forward Mike. Steve

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 ...
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

“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...
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
