Amazing

I had the pleasure of working with Steve Kantrovitz, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very beginning, he was incredibly professional and supportive. Steve provided fantastic legal advice and was always available whenever I had questions or concerns. His dedication to providing great... support was evident in every interaction. Steve answered all my questions thoroughly and ensured I understood every aspect of my case. Thanks to Steve’s expertise and unwavering support, I was able to resolve my legal issues effectively. If you need an attorney who is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about their clients, look no further than Steve Kantrovitz.

Hi Paul Thanks again of taking the time to prepare the review. As we discussed, attorney reviews are helpful vehicle for people to use when selecting an attorney. I know you landed on my door step, via a referral from one of my prior clients, but unfortunately many folks do not have the luxury. Like the great Forest Gump said, selecting an attorney can be like a box of chocolates, you don't know what you are going to get. The attorney reviews provide a means for people to make a more educated decision. Most important, I am pleased that you were satisfied with the level of services both Colleen and I provided. Like the majority of workers comp cases, it did take a while to bring this to a final conclusion, but the end result was very reasonable and most certainly in your best interest. Thank you for your patience and trust. Going forward, I wish you the best of luck. Please keep in touch and let me know if you require assistance going forward. Best regards, Steve

A must have Attorney

I was injured on the job and I desperately needed an attorney to help guide me through the legal processes of workman's compensation. The most valuable tool Attorney Kantrovitz provided was on his website. Most of my questions were answered right then and there. It made my trip through searching for... proper legal counsel way easier. I found Attorney Kantrovitz was the proper attorney right away. It didn't cost me money to speak with him and his very knowledgeable staff. His team treats clients like human beings and not like a problem needing to be fixed. Attorney Kantrovitz has many years of experience especially in Massachusetts workman's compensation. I worked in Middlesex County and live in Essex County. Attorney Kantrovitz is fluid with the courts of each county and you need an attorney that has that kind of experience. I've recommended Kantrovitz Law to friends and family. Start with the website first. Find what applies to you. Ask free questions. Before you know it, you have what you came looking for.

Dear Rich Thanks so much for the detailed review. First and most important, I am very pleased that you are satisfied with eh legal services form myself and my team. The positive feedback is very helpful. I am also pleased that our most recent court proceeding went well and as expected. With respect to the review, thank you for providing the roadmap of your attorney selection process. In my experience, the attorney reviews are a wonderful tool that an individual can and should utilize in making the selection process. Reliance on TV advertising or other quick and fast marketing techniques usually results in the client getting services that our less than optimum! Again, thanks for providing the level of detail you did. In closing Rich, thank you for your continued trust. We are getting close to the finish line. Stay well Steven

Great work!

Steven and his assistant Colleen were excellent to work with. I had a complicated workman’s comp claim that took several months to get thru however Steven was very reassuring and kept me updated throughout the whole process and I wound up getting payed out a substantial amount from the insurance comp...any. I’m 100% confident in recommending Steven for your case, if he says he can handle it you can trust him. Thanks again Steven

Dear Evan Thanks so much for taking the time to prepare the attorney review. As we discussed, I think the reviews are a good source for folks with no prior experience with an attorney. More importantly, thanks so much for your patience and trust throughout this difficult process. Yes, your case was a bit complicated, but at the end of the day, all worked out exactly as it should have. Going forward, I hope all goes well with your new job and I hope you remain healthy and well. Colleen also wanted me to thank you for your patience and trust. Stay well. Steven

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
