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

About Steven Kantrovitz

I first met Steve in 1994 when I was hurt at work. Not knowing the trouble I was going to have with the insurance company trying to get the care I needed to get better and get paid. Steve was very good at educating me on how the system works, he resolved my issue got me the care I needed and back to ...work. Over the next 22 years while working for the same company injuries accured and treatment was needed. In 2016 I had an injury that I couldn’t return to work. Steve was there every step of the way fighting for me and giving me advice that was best for me. If you need a Lawyer I highly recommend Attorney Steven Kantrovitz he’s a Tiger in your corner, Steve is not only a wonderful Attorney but is a real caring man who doesn’t look at Dollar Signs but looks out for his clients best interests. Thanks for all your help Steve over the close to 25 years I’ve known you, you’ve always been there for me and I can’t thank you enough. All the best, Brian

We WON a complex mental health case!

I am a Registered Nurse and was injured at work when a patient’s son lunged at & attempted to cause me great bodily harm. I turned to Google after my employer told me that my work injury was complex and would NOT be covered by worker’s compensation insurance. I called Attorney Kantrovitz and he was a...vailable when I called and talked to me for over an hour. He stated it was not going to be easy but that we would win. Attorney Kantrovitz was by my side through a year of actual hell- he is almost always available to take my calls. The case was not easy. The insurer did not want to budge. After a conciliation hearing with an administrative judge, Attorney Kantrovitz was able to get me back wages dated back to my date of injury and benefits going forward. We then began the hearing process. I testified for many hours one day. After my day of testimony, Attorney Kantrovitz was able to successfully negotiate a lump-sum settlement with the insurer for the exact amount of money I requested for a settlement. A few days after the one year anniversary of my brutal attack I signed the papers for my settlement. I can finally rest easy as Attorney Kantrovitz’s hard work has left me in a place where I can focus on my children and my recovery. Attorney Kantrovitz is a genuinely kind person & fought so hard on my behalf. I am very grateful to Attorney Kantrovitz AND I paid him not one cent. When we settled the case, the insurer was required to pay his fees! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a compassionate yet hard-fighting attorney.
