Great Representation

Upon the death of my sister, we were denied the proceeds of her employee life insurance plan. We obtained the services of Glenn Kantor and Brent Brehm to take this case. They made what I thought would be a difficult and unpleasant process very easy to get through. I was kept informed throughout th...e process and they were always available for questions or concerns I had. The case settled and I could not be more satisfied with their representation.

Top notch for disability claims

I was referred to Glenn Kantor for his expertise in ERISA cases. He and Brent Brehm were responsive, professional and capable. They were able to help me to get a settlement of my case that was quite satisfactory. Job well done gentlemen.

Excellence with integrity

Mr. Kantor and his entire firm took a very difficult and complicated case and used their unique experience and backgrounds to resolve a truly tangled mess for me regarging ERRSA law. They were communicative, worked with and around my disabilities with patience and good bedside manner, and shielded m...e from the parts i didnt need to and shouldnt have been involved with. everyone i worked with was professional, courteous, ethical, patient, nice, and still represented me well in a very difficult court case.

An Outstanding Advocate

I needed help getting BlueShield to change its practices. They denied me coverage for my Hepatitis C medication. My health plan is a company sponsored one so it fell under ERISA, there are no punitive damages awarded on such lawsuits so it was difficult to find an attorney willing to take the case. I... spoke with Glenn Kantor and he wanted to help. So he took the case. Thanks to Glen's work and that of his Firm's Blue Shield changed its practices and sent approval letters to 1,000s of insured who had been previously denied treatment for Hepatitis C, in many cases this treatment is life saving and in all cases life altering. Without Glenn Kantor all of these patients including myself would have had to go without treatment or wait for a miracle. I highly recommend Glenn Kantor for your legal advocacy needs. Thank you Glenn!!!

The Best!

Kantor & Kantor was instrumental in winning my LTD case against a major LTD carrier. Recommended by a retired lawyer friend of the family, my initial consultation with Glenn Kantor made it obvious that they were the right choice to help me win my LTD appeal. Still I did interview the major firms that... specialize in ERISA law (some more expensive, some less expensive), however this is not a situation where you want to choose the cheapest firm! Speaking from experience, it is much better to receive a larger percentage of something, than 100 percent of Nothing! Like mine, I am sure that most disability journeys are full of anxiety and depression and it is very difficult and stressful when having to deal with questions and requests from your LTD carrier in order to continue to receive your benefits. My main contact at Kantor & Kantor was Mr. Andrew Kantor. Andrew’s professionalism, optimism, follow up and his ability to explain my case in a way I could understand was refreshing and greatly appreciated! I will be forever grateful for him and everyone at Kantor and Kantor for helping in my need and putting me on ease in the most professional way I have seen to date. In my opinion the appeal process is impossible for those who go through it disabled. I used to be a smart guy, and there was NO WAY I would have considered the appeal by myself! The insurance companies are huge and well resourced and the only way you have a chance of winning is to hire Kantor and Kantor. Andrew and his team dealt with them masterfully, as far as I am concerned Kantor & Kantor was on top of everything. They kept me informed and up-to-date. They answered all my questions promptly. And they showed real compassion in their dealings with me. Bottom Line: Kantor & Kantor won my appeal and if anyone who is on LTD and needs help I highly recommend Kantor & Kantor for a positive outcome.

"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."
