Back on claim thanks to Kantor and Kantor!

When my long-term disability insurance claim was denied under flimsy pretenses I soon became resigned to the idea that I was going to have to find work while still recovering from back surgery. I was progressing slowly but clearly a ways away from being able to work a job in any serious capacity, so ...this turn of events stole away much of my hope that I would ever fully return to health. It was truly lucky then that I took chance on Kantor and Kantor. I knew I needed help but didn’t know where to begin to look for legal advice; fortunately, speaking with the staff quickly put me at ease. I sought advice from several firms, but Kantor and Kantor was the through-line during the process, checking in exactly when I needed assistance and walking me through the details of the appeal process that were keeping me up at night. Glenn Kantor took the time to call me ahead of important events and to check in before, during and after decisions were made. At any point, if I ever felt the process starting to slip away, Kantor and Kantor made themselves available to ease me fears. The result of all this was that, true to their word, I was put back on claim. It was as they had expected based on the facts of my case, but it was a monumental shock to me - the best possible scenario seemed so far out of reach as to be comical but here I am living it out. I owe Kantor and Kantor a great deal of gratitude for the work they did - they were honest, fair in how/what they assess in terms of any potential legal fees and truly kind, as well. I don’t think things would have worked out without them and I recommend them to any folks who are having issues with their disability insurance claims.

Conscientious and Knowledgeable

For the past 2 1/2 years I have been dealing with an ongoing appeal process of both a STD and LTD claim. My disability insurance was through an employer sponsored plan, which fell under ERISA, and given the complexity of the law we decided to seek professional help. We interviewed over 5 very highl...y rated attorneys, yet it was clear during our discussion with Glenn that his expertise, honest concern and vast experience was second to none. We were fortunate that one of the appeals was approved just before formal engagement; however, I cannot recommend him enough based on extensive communications both electrically and verbally. He always responded promptly, never was late to a scheduled call, and always had answers to our complex and sometimes rudimentary questions.

Making a wrong situation right

Glenn and the team at Kantor & Kantor has made a difficult situation easier. Their attention to detail and compassion went a long way to helping my family and getting our situation resolved. My sister met with Glenn originally and I was skeptical about our chances of getting my dads insurance case ...resolved. I am a realistic, bottom line person. Knowing this process would take time and patience, Kantor and Kantor, kept us up to date with the status of our case and answered our questions. I was pleasantly surprised and happy with the outcome of our case and their attention to details. We had concerns, like most people would, but they were straight forward with what they thought the outcomes would be. They answered our questions and made us feel at ease. I would recommend Kantor and Kantor and their team to help me with my retirement and insurance questions.

Effective, brilliant, and caring

Glenn was a truly amazing advocate for me. He believed in my story fervently, and it was clear that he cared deeply about my case. Plus he got amazing, life-changing results. Everything about my experience with Glenn surpassed my expectations. He and his firm are wonderful.

Excellent Representation!

Everyone at this firm is caring, considerate and professional. When I needed to stand up for myself against the giant Cigna Corporation for my LTD benefits, including life insurance continuation, I needed support and guidance from a professional. Mr. Kantor was amazing. He took time to review my clai...ms in detail and offered smart solutions. He offered a very fair compensation agreement as well but I never felt like compensation was his primary goal; he really wanted to correct the situation. I would highly recommend his services.

"Mr. Kantor has been my supervising attorney since I began practicing law. There is nobody on the planet more competent or knowledgeable about ERISA and bad faith insurance disputes. It is an honor and privilege to work for him."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I consulted with Glenn on a long term disability issue for my client, and he was incredibly helpful. Glenn and his firm have a great reputation in the San Fernando Valley for good reason. Glenn honed in on a legal issue that helped my client receive several hundred thousand dollars, and without his guidance on this very technical issue, it would have been impossible to resolve. I give Glenn my highest endorsement and would encourage anyone with a benefits issue to use his firm."

"I don't write these things often. Glenn Kantor and his team are on anybody's short list for "best ERISA counsel" in California, and a slightly longer list for "best ERISA counsel" in the country. They are respected on both sides of the Bar, and in the eyes of the federal judiciary in California."
