Glenn Kantor, founding partner of Kantor & Kantor in Northridge, CA, oversees one of the largest ERISA law firms in the country. The firm focuses primarily on helping employees obtain wrongfully denied insurance benefits for disability, health, long-term care and life insurance policies under the Employees Retirement Income Security Act, but also works with people denied benefits under individual policies.
For more than 20 years, Kantor has represented people with disabilities such as multiple sclerosis, lupus, Crohn's Disease, Fibromyalgia, Epstein Bar, HIV/AIDS, Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s, cancer, spine and back injuries, cardiac disease, depression, drug and alcohol addiction and a host of other conditions against insurance companies who have wrongfully denied health, disability or long-term care benefits. He has also helped family members obtain wrongfully withheld life insurance benefits in situations regarding DUI deaths, domestic partnerships, failure to disclose, and improper enrollment, among other issues.
In 2011, Kantor worked with California Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones to help pass Insurance Code section , a law that bans “discretionary clauses” in insurance contracts and prevents disability insurance companies from inserting language into polices that gives them discretion to deny claims.

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...

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 ...

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...

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...
"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."
"I highly endorse Glenn Kantor based on his experience and expertise in litigating disability insurance matters."
