A Truly "Gold Hat" Attorney

I contacted the Kantor & Kantor law firm after thoroughly researching firms that handled ADA-related issues. I have a totally disabled daughter who had been denied by her insurance provider a replacement power wheelchair for the dilapidated chair she currently is forced to rely upon. This denial ca...me AFTER the necessary replacement had been APPROVED by this provider up to and including their CEO. I tried my best to resolve this matter myself, but was met, repeatedly, by the sound of one hand clapping. That's when I sought professional legal representation, and discovered Kantor & Kantor, and was fortunate enough to speak with Glenn Kantor, himself. I explained what I'd tried, unsuccessfully, to resolve independently. He "felt" my frustration and sense of urgency in needing to achieve a successful resolution to this critical matter which was adversely effecting the health and well-being of my daughter. He personally took ownership of my case immediately, and pursued it most effectively and appropriately. The end result: my daughter is assured of having her replacement power chair within the next three weeks! And ALL because of Glenn Kantor, and his all-star legal team's, research, action and timely resolution. I really could not imagine a more successful outcome. Glenn Kantor truly deserves a "Gold Hat" for legal expertise and timely resolution of our frustrating and disappointing dilemma. I highly recommend contacting Kantor & Kantor based on my personal, and firsthand experience.

Simply the Best ERISA Expert

We learned of Glenn's ERISA disability skills over ten years ago, when I was facing an unreasonable (but not unusual) termination of my Long-Term Disability claim payments from a heartless insurer. My wife and I spent nearly six months preparing an appeal to the termination, which we understood woul...d likely be denied by the insurer regardless of the evidence presented from numerous doctor reports. Glenn and his staff repeatedly advised us on the best approach, spending many hours discussing and reviewing our appeal (at no cost to us). Although we were not surprised by the denial, the extensive information we provided in the appeal strengthened our case against the insurer for an eventual lawsuit that Glenn took on a contingency basis. And despite the large geographical distance separating us from Kantor & Kantor, Glenn guided us through all their court filings and correspondence required to bring the suit to the courts. Weeks after filing, Glenn hosted the court-mandated mediation between the two parties. Thanks mostly to Glenn’s knowledge and effort, the insurer agreed to pay all back-benefits and resume monthly payments at this meeting. Glenn was very understanding of our personal situation and offered a discounted fee for his representation – a very fair man. Over the ensuing years, Glenn and his staff have guided us through multiple obstacles presented by the insurance company, including Activities of Daily Living reports, Physician Forms, and Independent Medical Examinations. He has a very understandable method of communicating the complexities of ERISA disability law and explaining the techniques used by the callous insurance companies. Another positive of Kantor & Kantor - they are a family-run law firm, and we’ve been lucky enough to have dealt with the same attorneys, paralegals, and administrative staff for over 10 years! That is very rare in today's world of constant changes. In fact, when I speak with Glenn now, I feel I’m talking with a friend as much as a professional attorney. We could go on (and, indeed, have offered to provide a more-personal reference); however, the details of ERISA battles are overwhelming. You likely have dealt with more than your share of woes - do yourself a favor and hire Glenn!

Would not go for this attorney on Fderal court matters.

I personally would not recommend Mr.Kantor. I chose him by his bald catching advertisement add and got not at the best position with whole stuff experience here. It was very hard to get answered my questions, would take sometimes a days by e-mail, clerk did not return my calls and I got false informa...tion about my case. I put two stars, not one, because ones in awhile I got effort barely to get some calls personally from attorney or his assistants .Would definitely chose different attorney for any legal case matters.

My Experience With Kantor & Kantor

I was dropped by my insurance carrier for reasons I did not understand. I almost let go but I was permanently disabled. I went on the Martindale Hubbell website and the very first firm listed with expertise to help me with the insurance company was Kantor & Kantor! I contacted them and had a consulta...tion. I hired this firm. This firm went above and beyond diligently reviewing every detail of my case. Glenn Kantor is one of the best in his field. The entire process was over in a matter of months. I am truly and sincerely so thankful that I decided to contact them. I would recommend this firm to any and every person having problems with insurance companies. They are experts in the field they practice. The entire team - from his legal assistant to the managing partner gave their all. I want to again thank everyone who had a hand in handling my case. You were pleasant, thoughtful and truly dedicated to make sure the result was favorable. Ten stars to Kantor & Kantor!

Excellent reputation among his peers

Mr Kantor was recommended to us as the best in his field by our other attorneys who do not specialize in his field. He evaluated our case and left the decision to us as to whether to proceed. Though we decided not to I was impressed by his professionalism and integrity.

"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."

"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."
