Back on claim thanks to Kantor and Kantor!

When my long-term disability insurance claim was denied under flimsy pretenses I soon became resigned to the idea that I was going to have to find work while still recovering from back surgery. I was progressing slowly but clearly a ways away from being able to work a job in any serious capacity, so ...this turn of events stole away much of my hope that I would ever fully return to health. It was truly lucky then that I took chance on Kantor and Kantor. I knew I needed help but didn’t know where to begin to look for legal advice; fortunately, speaking with the staff quickly put me at ease. I sought advice from several firms, but Kantor and Kantor was the through-line during the process, checking in exactly when I needed assistance and walking me through the details of the appeal process that were keeping me up at night. Glenn Kantor took the time to call me ahead of important events and to check in before, during and after decisions were made. At any point, if I ever felt the process starting to slip away, Kantor and Kantor made themselves available to ease me fears. The result of all this was that, true to their word, I was put back on claim. It was as they had expected based on the facts of my case, but it was a monumental shock to me - the best possible scenario seemed so far out of reach as to be comical but here I am living it out. I owe Kantor and Kantor a great deal of gratitude for the work they did - they were honest, fair in how/what they assess in terms of any potential legal fees and truly kind, as well. I don’t think things would have worked out without them and I recommend them to any folks who are having issues with their disability insurance claims.

Excellence with integrity

Mr. Kantor and his entire firm took a very difficult and complicated case and used their unique experience and backgrounds to resolve a truly tangled mess for me regarging ERRSA law. They were communicative, worked with and around my disabilities with patience and good bedside manner, and shielded m...e from the parts i didnt need to and shouldnt have been involved with. everyone i worked with was professional, courteous, ethical, patient, nice, and still represented me well in a very difficult court case.

Professional and caring representation by Mr. Glenn Kantor and his firm for LTD

I had carried long term disability (LTD) insurance for many years. Recently, my on-going health problems caused me to leave a very well-paying job. When I applied for my LTD benefits, the insurance company denied my application. I researched LTD insurance firms, and Kantor & Kantor came very highl...y recommended. Kantor’s staff was very friendly and efficient in taking my initial information. This was followed by a call from Mr. Glenn Kantor, who advised me that he reviewed and saw merit in my case, and decided to pursue it. Mr. Kantor’s support continued throughout the claim resolution process. He participated in answering most of my emailed questions, advised me of certain upcoming milestones and events, and appointed various attorneys to pursue the day to day activities as appropriate for each phase of my claim process. When we met during a visit to the firm’s office, Mr. Kantor was very generous with his time and advice. Together with Mr. Brent Brehm, the attorney assigned to manage my claim, he engaged me in the discussion and explained the process and his expectations going forward, based on his experience in negotiating and litigating similar cases. He also engaged me in the discussion to understand my wishes and needs, while allowing for the vast difference between his experience and my nearly non-existent legal knowledge in this field. Mr. Kantor and Mr. Brehm successfully negotiated my case. Based on my experience of the level of professional care exercised by Mr. Glenn Kantor and his team on my behalf, I very highly recommend the firm of Kantor & Kantor for any LTD claims and similar cases.

Top Notch Attorney

After having been diagnosed with tonsil cancer, I chose to have Proton Radiation instead of the conventional Radiation. After dealing with my medical insurance company and many denials, I sought legal representations from Glenn Kantor. He and his firm worked with me to help resolve my case with a fai...r outcome. Through the entire process, everyone in the firm was always very supportive, knowledgeable and handled every detail for me. I can truly say that Glenn and his firm are a top notch firm and I feel very grateful to have had such a wonderful experience in such a troubled time in my life.

A Truly "Gold Hat" Attorney

I contacted the Kantor & Kantor law firm after thoroughly researching firms that handled ADA-related issues. I have a totally disabled daughter who had been denied by her insurance provider a replacement power wheelchair for the dilapidated chair she currently is forced to rely upon. This denial ca...me AFTER the necessary replacement had been APPROVED by this provider up to and including their CEO. I tried my best to resolve this matter myself, but was met, repeatedly, by the sound of one hand clapping. That's when I sought professional legal representation, and discovered Kantor & Kantor, and was fortunate enough to speak with Glenn Kantor, himself. I explained what I'd tried, unsuccessfully, to resolve independently. He "felt" my frustration and sense of urgency in needing to achieve a successful resolution to this critical matter which was adversely effecting the health and well-being of my daughter. He personally took ownership of my case immediately, and pursued it most effectively and appropriately. The end result: my daughter is assured of having her replacement power chair within the next three weeks! And ALL because of Glenn Kantor, and his all-star legal team's, research, action and timely resolution. I really could not imagine a more successful outcome. Glenn Kantor truly deserves a "Gold Hat" for legal expertise and timely resolution of our frustrating and disappointing dilemma. I highly recommend contacting Kantor & Kantor based on my personal, and firsthand experience.

"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."
