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.

Honest, Professional and Delivers Results
Glenn was a pleasure to work with. He kept me up to date from the moment I met with him and managed my expectations in terms of the length of time my case would take and what the result would be. He ensured I understood the different facets of the case and would always answer my questions in a patien...

Long Term Disability Blues
Filling out all the forms to file my Long Term Disability claim was one of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to do. Multiple Sclerosis had stolen from me my ability to work, and I needed to “retire” unexpectedly at the age of 52. I gathered all the info needed to prove to the insurance company ...

I highly recommend Glenn Kantor !
Glenn was very quick in his responses and he kept me informed. Very friendly, personable guy. He actually cared about what I was going through and seems passionate about what he does. He got my case settled without having to go to court (which he suggested would probably happen). I would highly ...

A highly recommended lawyer
I was referred to Mr. Kantor and despite the fact that he was not yet being paid, he took time to speak with me at length on the phone about my issues and answered all my questions. He was also willing to follow up with emails, again, without receiving payment. To me, that says a lot about a lawyer a...

Integrity, Ethics, and Expertise, a Winning Combination
Mr. Kantor accepted my case in spite of the small probability we would actually win, because he believed in it. He was supportive and informative during the process, and was flexible in my favor with his fees. We did, in the end, actually end up winning our case and my benefits were reinstated with b...
"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."
