Andrew Kantor, associate attorney, began his work as a client advocate long before he became an attorney. Upon graduating college, Mr. Kantor worked at Kantor & Kantor as an intake director. When in law school, he worked as a legal extern for Consumer Watchdog, a public consumer organization specializing in consumer-side insurance issues in the class-action context. He also used his ERISA & disability experience to write a seminar paper regarding the incorporation of RICO into wrongfully denied insurance claims.
Andrew's practice is focused primarily on helping individuals obtain wrongfully denied disability and life insurance benefits in both the ERISA and non-ERISA (bad faith) policies.

"I have known Andrew Kantor for several years. When I have clients who need help securing their long-term disability benefits, Andrew is who I refer them to. He is a legal eagle and knows the ins and outs of ERISA law. He also is a rarity in the legal profession these days because he is not afraid to litigate if an insurance company is out of line. Most importantly, he is ethical and trustworthy. Every client I send his way adores him because he combines kindness and compassion with his extensive legal expertise, which makes him the perfect attorney to have in your corner."

He is diligent and strategic in his approach and very knowledgeable about ERISA given his experience in the field even before he attended law school. He also has excellent client rapport due to his unwavering compassion. I highly endorse Andrew."
"Andrew combines stellar advocacy with heartfelt compassion. It is rare combination few attorneys posses. It is why he is among the top disability insurance attorneys in America."
