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.

Precedent Setter

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...nia consistently setting pro-patient precedent not only at the federal district court level, but at the federal appellate court level as well. To me this indicates the firm is willing to take cases to court when needed, and capable of prevailing when they do so. In my experience this type of track record leads to a higher level of credibility with insurance companies that can help optimize settlements when litigation is not needed. When I reached out, I found out in addition that Glenn is a compassionate and focused attorney. I have high standards for legal counsel and I'm very glad for Glenn.

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.

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...ounding area, only to be rejected and told I didn’t have a case. During this time I lost everything that my husband and I had built together due to the denial of the claim. I held fast to the strong feeling that if I could find a firm that would be willing to look deeper into my case, they would find what I had already suspected, which was mismanagement of my husbands life insurance by his employer and the life insurance company offered by this employer. After doing some research online, I found the law firm of Kantor and Kantor. I filled out the no-cost consultation online and heard back quickly. Glenn Kantor accepted my case when other lawyers rejected it, stating I didn't have one. Throughout the course of his representation he communicated with me exceptionally well by either email or phone calls. I am extremely pleased with the fast results Glenn Kantor was able to achieve during the mediation process, my case was settle that day. With this settlement I have been able to purchase another home for my daughter and I. I would without hesitation recommend Glenn Kantor and Kantor and Kantor law firm. I would strongly encourage you to reach out to Kantor and Kantor and tell them your story and see if they can help!

"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."
