Best of the Best

Thank you Glenn for helping us file our disability appeal with confidence and assurance that you will be there for us no matter what happens. Your quick responses, kindness, and expertise are appreciated and valued. We highly recommend you and the Kantor & Kantor team and feel lucky to have found you... to represent us.

Incredible help

I reached out to Glenn Kantor after being rejected for my LTD for cancer. He immediately got back to me, scheduled a call, and gave me key pointers on what to and what not to include in my appeal. I sent him a draft of my appeal and he suggested edits (all free of charge!). I am currently waiting to ...hear back from my LTD, but in case things don't go smoothly, I will reach out to Glenn without hesitation to take on this case- as he has proven himself to be an invaluable resource and a kind heart. Many thanks Glenn for all your help!

Simply the Best ERISA Expert

We learned of Glenn's ERISA disability skills over ten years ago, when I was facing an unreasonable (but not unusual) termination of my Long-Term Disability claim payments from a heartless insurer. My wife and I spent nearly six months preparing an appeal to the termination, which we understood woul...d likely be denied by the insurer regardless of the evidence presented from numerous doctor reports. Glenn and his staff repeatedly advised us on the best approach, spending many hours discussing and reviewing our appeal (at no cost to us). Although we were not surprised by the denial, the extensive information we provided in the appeal strengthened our case against the insurer for an eventual lawsuit that Glenn took on a contingency basis. And despite the large geographical distance separating us from Kantor & Kantor, Glenn guided us through all their court filings and correspondence required to bring the suit to the courts. Weeks after filing, Glenn hosted the court-mandated mediation between the two parties. Thanks mostly to Glenn’s knowledge and effort, the insurer agreed to pay all back-benefits and resume monthly payments at this meeting. Glenn was very understanding of our personal situation and offered a discounted fee for his representation – a very fair man. Over the ensuing years, Glenn and his staff have guided us through multiple obstacles presented by the insurance company, including Activities of Daily Living reports, Physician Forms, and Independent Medical Examinations. He has a very understandable method of communicating the complexities of ERISA disability law and explaining the techniques used by the callous insurance companies. Another positive of Kantor & Kantor - they are a family-run law firm, and we’ve been lucky enough to have dealt with the same attorneys, paralegals, and administrative staff for over 10 years! That is very rare in today's world of constant changes. In fact, when I speak with Glenn now, I feel I’m talking with a friend as much as a professional attorney. We could go on (and, indeed, have offered to provide a more-personal reference); however, the details of ERISA battles are overwhelming. You likely have dealt with more than your share of woes - do yourself a favor and hire Glenn!

My Experience With Kantor & Kantor

I was dropped by my insurance carrier for reasons I did not understand. I almost let go but I was permanently disabled. I went on the Martindale Hubbell website and the very first firm listed with expertise to help me with the insurance company was Kantor & Kantor! I contacted them and had a consulta...tion. I hired this firm. This firm went above and beyond diligently reviewing every detail of my case. Glenn Kantor is one of the best in his field. The entire process was over in a matter of months. I am truly and sincerely so thankful that I decided to contact them. I would recommend this firm to any and every person having problems with insurance companies. They are experts in the field they practice. The entire team - from his legal assistant to the managing partner gave their all. I want to again thank everyone who had a hand in handling my case. You were pleasant, thoughtful and truly dedicated to make sure the result was favorable. Ten stars to Kantor & Kantor!

The Best!

Kantor & Kantor was instrumental in winning my LTD case against a major LTD carrier. Recommended by a retired lawyer friend of the family, my initial consultation with Glenn Kantor made it obvious that they were the right choice to help me win my LTD appeal. Still I did interview the major firms that... specialize in ERISA law (some more expensive, some less expensive), however this is not a situation where you want to choose the cheapest firm! Speaking from experience, it is much better to receive a larger percentage of something, than 100 percent of Nothing! Like mine, I am sure that most disability journeys are full of anxiety and depression and it is very difficult and stressful when having to deal with questions and requests from your LTD carrier in order to continue to receive your benefits. My main contact at Kantor & Kantor was Mr. Andrew Kantor. Andrew’s professionalism, optimism, follow up and his ability to explain my case in a way I could understand was refreshing and greatly appreciated! I will be forever grateful for him and everyone at Kantor and Kantor for helping in my need and putting me on ease in the most professional way I have seen to date. In my opinion the appeal process is impossible for those who go through it disabled. I used to be a smart guy, and there was NO WAY I would have considered the appeal by myself! The insurance companies are huge and well resourced and the only way you have a chance of winning is to hire Kantor and Kantor. Andrew and his team dealt with them masterfully, as far as I am concerned Kantor & Kantor was on top of everything. They kept me informed and up-to-date. They answered all my questions promptly. And they showed real compassion in their dealings with me. Bottom Line: Kantor & Kantor won my appeal and if anyone who is on LTD and needs help I highly recommend Kantor & Kantor for a positive outcome.

"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."
