Very kind and knowledgeable

I am currently helping my father navigate how to apply for disability with a very serious illness. We had no idea where to start and we were reading misleading information online. Everything seemed extremely daunting, and I knew I had to check in with an experienced long term disability lawyer to mak...e sure we did everything right from the get-go. You don't want to start this process and already mess up on step 1, and then get your application denied. Even if you do get denied, it's important to have someone like Mr. Kantor in your corner. He answered all of our questions and went out of his way to put a plan together for us. Not only that, I could tell that money takes a backseat to his genuine desire to help others. Now we know what steps we need to take and we feel much more confident that my dad will have the outcome he wants. I highly recommend retaining Mr. Kantor, you will not regret it.

Precedent Setter

I’m an experienced attorney with over two decades in practice. I became aware of the Kantor firm while researching disability case law when the severity of my illness started to increase. To my knowledge the Kantor firm is one of only a very few pro-patient disability law firms in Southern Califor...nia consistently setting pro-patient precedent not only at the federal district court level, but at the federal appellate court level as well. To me this indicates the firm is willing to take cases to court when needed, and capable of prevailing when they do so. In my experience this type of track record leads to a higher level of credibility with insurance companies that can help optimize settlements when litigation is not needed. When I reached out, I found out in addition that Glenn is a compassionate and focused attorney. I have high standards for legal counsel and I'm very glad for Glenn.

Beth Davis and her team are AMAZING

I found Kantor and Kantor online after my moms long term disability claim was denied. My mom was very fragile, emotionally and physically. The stress from dealing with the insurance company impacted her health significantly. It was a very stressful and emotional time but finding this firm turned ever...ything around. There was constant support, empathy and communication. Beth went above and beyond to make my mom feel comfortable and let her know she would fight this thru. Fast forward 7 months... they won our appeal and my mom was awarded what was rightfully hers. Full LTD benefits with back pay! I KNOW 100% we wouldn’t have received this result without the strong team behind us. The ins company did everything they could to deny her claim but Beth and her team were relentless and equipped with a team of outside experts and medical professionals which helped make our case even stronger. They were always one step ahead. From the beginning I had confidence in this firm, but actually going thru the process and seeing how much work they put into our case made me realize that they truly cared about the outcome, not just for monetary purposes, but because they wanted to help my mom. I highly recommend this firm and their team.

Stellar work - Thank you so much!

Glenn Kantor is an excellent attorney with a proven track record of expertly handling disability issues. He has a great team who are dedicated to protecting your interests. I knew he would champion my case from the first time we spoke. It was evident Glenn sincerely cared about how my case had affec...ted me and my family, and he was passionate to make it right. He has an great reputation within the court which made things go smoother for me as his client. He can be fierce when necessary, but is also professional, courteous, and kind. I trusted him completely and he absolutely took care of me!

The most professional and compassionate firm in this industry.

Words can not describe how grateful I am to this firm for taking on my case. My LTD application had been denied on more than one occasion. I submitted an online inquiry to Kantor and Kantor and Mr. Glen Kantor himself called me within minutes of hitting the send button. Glenn, Kelli, Beth and Noemi... are some of the most caring and compassionate people in this industry. They are honest, reliable, professional and very responsive. Kelli kept me informed throughout the entire process and was truly concerned about my well being, my health and my needs as a person and a client. She is passionate about helping people. She was available on a daily basis and promptly responded to my questions professionally. They worked to build a strong case and followed up and supported my case and myself throughout the process with a quick turn around time. Their team showed their best at all time. I appreciate every effort Kantor and Kantor put into my case and would like to thank them for the priceless information and advice they gave me. I would highly recommend and refer this firm to my friends and family.

"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."
