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.

Wonderful firm to work with!

I suffer from a rare, incurable disorder and had been receiving long term disability benefits for 10 years. Suddenly, my carrier decided that I was “no longer disabled” and canceled my benefits. I found Kantor and Kantor who immediately accepted my case and began the appeal process. They set up a ...Functional Capacity Evaluation in which I was examined for a whole day to determine my ability to work and the assessment determined that I was too disabled to work. Armed with this information, along with statements from my doctors, the appeal was submitted and was denied. Kantor and Kantor proceeded to file a lawsuit which resulted in a settlement in mediation. Corinne Chandler handled my case and her knowledge, expertise and hard work resulted in a very fair settlement after a long and difficult mediation process. In addition, Kantor and Kantor was very fair with their fees. I am extremely pleased with the outcome of my case and would highly recommend this firm if you need legal assistance with your disability benefits.

Satisfied client

Glen and Andrew were very helpful with my Disability case. They were quick to respond, very knowledgeable, and helpful throughout every stage. I would 100% recommend the firm and would be happy to have them represent me for any of my needs in the future. I will definitely recommend the firm to my fri...ends and family if they have similar needs.

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!!!

Generous and caring attorney

I reached out to the Kantor law firm about my 91-year-old mother's LTC policy having been terminated because she forgot to pay her bills due to sudden onset of cognitive impairment. She had been paying big bucks for this policy for almost 20 years, but hit a mental wall with all her bills last summer... and is no longer capable of keeping up with her mail. Initially the firm wrote back and said they don't usually handle reinstatement cases. Then I received a personal email from Glenn who told me that my story kept him awake at night. He wanted to extend me a helping hand via email, gratis. His moral support and generous advice helped me through a very difficult process with the insurance company, and I'm happy to report that my mother's LTC policy has finally been reinstated after three grueling months and dozens of phone calls, faxes and sleepless nights of anxiety. Glenn is a real person who truly cares about people before money. He took it upon himself to keep in touch with me personally as well as send me a copy of a statute that helped me come up with the precise wording when crafting my own letter to the insurance company about reinstatement. I will not hesitate to hire Glenn down the line should my mom's insurance company ever give us trouble with a claim. He is a true gem.

"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."
