Excellent experience

Steven was very open and honest with me throughout the whole process, he knew exactly how to handle any hiccups along the workers comp case and took care of it quickly. Made my settlement process very streamlined and was in contact with me the entire time.

Great experience with Steve Kantrowitz

I went through a career changing injury when I fell at work and I had to have shoulder surgery and extensive physical therapy. After a long period of time and recovery I was informed that my shoulder would never be the same and I could not do my normal duties at work anymore. I consulted with A...ttorney Steve Kantrowitz and he went through all of my options for my future. The best decision I made was to hire Attorney Kantrowitz. He was very knowledgable and explained the whole process to me and dealt with all of the parties involved. He was very informative throughout the whole process and answered any questions or concerns that I had. It made a life changing career a lot easier for me.

Dear Charlene Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to complete your thoughtful review. Preparing an attorney review can sometimes be burdensome and I appreciate you taking the time. While you and I met through your brother-in- law, many folks have to rely on less than optimal sources of advertising to find an attorney. As we had discussed, I think attorney reviews are the best source for a prospective client. Again, I am very appreciative. Back to you. More important than the review, thank you for trusting me with the handling of your case. The legal issues and medical care were a bit complex, but with both time and litigation, everything worked out very well and certainly in your best interest. I am very pleased that you felt well informed throughout the process. In closing, I wanted to thank you again for trusting us with the handling of your case. Always feel free to reach back with any questions or concerns. Take care and thank you again, Steve 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...y give me the information I needed to proceed with check up after weeks of asking for it? IN SHORT: Turned out I had suffered massive rotatory cuff tears to my left shoulder, resulting in surgery and months of physical therapy. INTERESTING OUTCOMES: During therapy after the surgery my shoulder was telling me something still wasn’t right! Pain continued, and range of motion was not coming back. Meanwhile the workers comp surgeon was telling me I’m fine every check up! And I should prepare to return to work soon, every time I checked in with him. I had bad feeling about everything that has happened up to now. I was suffering from the same pain before the surgery, and the workers comp doctor was releasing me to return to work soon. Ignoring everything I told him, and my concern. I called Steven Kantrovitz! Because from the very beginning my place of employment had no concern of the pain I suffered daily from the fall. Then dragging out me getting necessary workers comp documents to see a doctor. Resulting in rotary cuff surgery. Then having a WC Dr telling me I should be getting ready to return to work even though I’m telling the Dr something still didn’t feel right, it still hurts. Steven pushed workers comp for a second MRI that indeed show the surgery failed. Yes, After all I just explained above the surgery did fail, I was right all along! Two surgeries later and currently still in therapy, I am finally getting back to normal life! Steven Kantrovitz settled my case! His professionalism got me a VERY comfortable reward. Much more than I imagined. Believe me when I say Steven is a genuine good man that really cares, and he knows his stuff! BOTH Steven AND Colleen helped me through some tough days during this long ordeal, both always taking the time to explain what’s happening in a way I can understand. They always called me back if I could not get through, and NEVER rushed me off the phone. Best thing I ever did work related was call Steven Kantrovitz! In the end, It was kinda sad for me the day my case settled, I will miss talking with them both. Steven and Colleen are wonderful real people.. I’m so thankful I found them, and everything they did for me.

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

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

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
