Client For Life (if needed)

I got a recommendation from a well connected person as to who to contact about my LTD case. I am so glad I did. Glenn Kantor helped us in a dark time dealing with my insurance company while also battling a debilitating illness. He has impressive knowledge and decades of experience in helping people w...ith disabilities. He returned calls/emails quickly, walked us through the process and put us at ease. He and his firm are the gold standard others should strive for. EXCELLENT attorney and EXCELLENT firm.

Deserving of 10 Stars

Glenn Kantor assisted us in reaching a settlement with our insurance company for recovery of out of pocket medical expenses which the insurer deemed not covered by our policy. Glenn fought with tenacity and took on the insurance company as though we were family. Glenn was responsive to our calls an...d helped us through a difficult period in our lives. In the end, he helped us reach a reasonable settlement and we are forever thankful to him for his diligent work. I hate the thought of ever needing to hire an attorney again in my life, but should the need arise I can promise that I will hire Glenn Kantor.

Satisfied lawyer

I am a disabled attorney who was a leader in my specialty before being stricken with blood cancer at age 52. In my practice, I regularly was asked to monitor and evaluate the work of other attorneys for my clients so I think I’m better than most clients at telling an outstanding lawyer from an averag...e one. After my cancer went into complete remission and my long-term disability insurance benefits were then denied while I was represented by another well-respected disability lawyer, Glenn Kantor and David Oswalt stepped in, cleaned up his mistakes, reversed the denial and sustained my benefits for another 13 years until age 65. My case was not an easy one and I wonder how many other attorneys would have possessed the skills and diligence to accomplish what the Kantor firm did for me. I would enthusiastically refer anyone needing disability insurance representation to the Kantor firm without reservation.

Principal Expert in Insurance Law

Glen is a bright spot in the gloomy world of Insurance Liability Law attorneys. He partnered with a brilliant team assigned to my claim and helped strategize the successful negotiation of my disagreement with a "Big Gorilla" insurance company. Glen has experience with thousands of cases in h...is 30 plus years of legal experience. He has crystal clear insight into the tipping point of complex insurance legal questions; a real professional with a team of talented partners that don't miss anything. With an extensive knowledge of insurance industry law, Brent worked efficiently and expertly with my/his legal team, always keeping my interest in the front and center. In my 35 years as a physician practicing neurological rehabilitation medicine, I have not encountered a better attorney or firm to understand the complexities of insurance law and to be able to apply the law effectively for his client. Glen and his partners are experts in every way and a credit to their profession. If Glen takes your case, you have a good case that needs his expertise and talent to win. This is a firm that wants to take on the tough cases that need to be righted... a credit to their profession. I feel fortunate to have been referred to him.

Glenn Kantor is an outstanding advocate for anyone facing disability

I was wrongfully denied STD and LTD benefits and the best decision I made was to hire Kantor and Kantor to fight on my behalf. Glenn was terrific at evaluating my case and looking for any way possible to advocate for a better settlement. He is a champion to those of us faced with wrongful denials by ...insurance companies. During one of my medical evaluations by a consultant, in no uncertain terms he told me Kantor and Kantor was the best in these cases. I am grateful to have had Glenn and his amazing team on my side.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"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."
