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.

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...

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...

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...

Glenn Kantor is an outstanding advocate for anyone facing disability

Excellent, Experienced, Professional
I lost my husband suddenly to a heart attack, he was only 49 years old. After submitting my claim for his life insurance it was denied. After doing some investigation of my own I knew something was not right and that I needed to seek representation. I reached out to several local firms in my surr...
"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."
