If you wanna win you need Alan Kassan on your side

Alan and Keli were amazing! They kept me updated with my case thru the whole process. The whole process was easy and painless for me. Alan and his team are very thorough and detailed. They know the ins and outs of the insurance company’s process and how to beat them. Do your self a favor and take al...l the stress away and hire Alan

Excellent

I met Alan Kassan when I called Kantor and Kantor, in need of clarification with regard to my husband's Individual Disability Policy. My husband had turned 65 and his Individual Disability Policy would be ending. Alan's valued direction and time, along with his expertise and kind, respectful dem...eanor was greatly appreciated. He pointed out a clause in the policy, that I overlooked, that my husband could convert his existing policy to a Long Term Care Policy with the same insurance company. Alan was instrumental in our ability to successfully secure the LTC policy. We highly endorse Alan Kassan, with respect and admiration. Renée Chandler aka Renée Chandler-Parsons

Terrific Attorney

As an attorney licensed in another state, I was looking to hire an attorney with expertise for an insurance matter under California law. Alan offered informed and accurate advice which reflected not only the legal analysis but also common-sense and pragmatic advice for dealing directly with this spec...ific insurance company. His representation and advice helped me resolve the issue quickly, efficiently, and without litigation. Alan’s diligence, clear communication, and professionalism are why I recommend Alan without reservation.

Knowledgeable and thorough

I approached Alan for help interpreting some clauses in a life insurance policy related to contestability which could have caused real problems in the future. An attorney friend whom I trust and respect referred me to Kantor & Kantor, the firm where Alan works (which specializes in insurance issues).... Alan was knowledgeable and experienced, familiar with the issues involved and able to give me excellent advice. I really benefitted from his knowledge and specialization in insurance issues. I would absolutely go back to him in the future with any insurance-related issues.

Compassion, Honesty, and Integrity in Disability Law

If you're reading this review then you're likely where I was about two years ago, disabled with no money and little hope of survival. None of us ever expect to find ourselves walking down this lonely road, but somehow fate has brought us here. If you're like me you dutifully paid your LTD premiums ...and expected to be protected in the event of a catastrophic health crisis, only to find that your contracted LTD provider is now the predator rather than the guarantor. Do not despair. Your perseverance has brought you this far, and the law offices of Kantor & Kantor will carry you for the rest of the journey. Compassion, honesty, and integrity; these are the cornerstones upon which Mr. Alan Kassan has built his practice. During our first consultation Alan extended a courtesy and understanding that one only hopes to experience with family and good friends. He patiently listened to the litany of disabling medical conditions that restricted and limited my ability to perform the duties of my profession. The most nebulous of these was persistent and debilitating fatigue, which the mainstream has no reliable means of quantifying. Rather than dismiss my plight as my LTD carrier had, Alan made arrangements for objective fatigue testing, personally shouldering 60% of the cost. The results of this diagnostic were a salient feature in securing a win on appeal, and complete reinstatement of LTD benefits under my ERISA plan. Alan is honest, period. He does what he says, and says what he does. There is no fine print with this attorney. He believes in full disclosure, and answered all of my questions (often multilevel and nested) regarding the contract before he was officially retained. After winning the appeal, his fee structure remained as contracted and agreed upon, without financial chicanery or the manifestation of "hidden clauses." Nobody likes surprise fees or deductions in their paychecks and financial settlements. After doing business with Alan I was pleasantly surprised to find that I got MORE than I bargained for. Mr. Kassan is a consummate professional, and comports himself with the utmost integrity. These are impressive qualities in themselves, but when one considers the pressure of fraud and deception prevalent in the insurance industry, these accolades confer even more honor upon an individual who refuses to conform to unscrupulous standards. Alan is an intelligent, dedicated, and driven attorney who will fight for the benefits that you deserve. He's always available by phone and E-mail, and I feel like more than just a client to him; I believe that he genuinely cares about my well-being. Alan Kassan has my highest recommendation as he provides outstanding legal representation with good old-fashioned family values. I submit this review in complete gratitude.
