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 ...that the gainful employment part of my life was over, and began the delightful process of having to really focus on all of the functions and capabilities I had lost, and explain to strangers basically “why it sucks to be me”. After getting everything filed, I sat and waited. My SSDI claim was approved fairly easy and quickly. Not so with my private disability claim. For close to 3 years, I had to fill out more forms, prove to them that I actually had a policy with them, and re-file my initial claim on different forms. Each hurdle became more discouraging and more depressing, until I just couldn’t bring myself to deal with it anymore, and almost gave up on it altogether. Then, as I was reading through my MS Society magazine, I spotted an ad for Kantor & Kantor, and decided to see if they could help me out. That was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Within the first few minutes of that initial phone call, it felt like a heavy weight had been lifted from me. They were kind and helpful, and very patient with me. After sending them my records, I promptly heard back from Glenn Kantor. He explained the process and some of my options, in a way that was easy for me to understand. His knowledge and expertise helped to ease my worries. I also had the opportunity to work with Brent Brehm, who helped me through the rest of what I once thought was going to be a long, ugly ordeal. Brent made it easy for me, and was very prompt in keeping me updated, and in answering any questions I had. It seemed like no time at all before my case was settled, and with far better results than I could have ever obtained on my own. I would highly recommend Glenn Kantor, Brent Brehm, and the office of Kantor & Kantor, to anyone with a Long Term Disability claim. I didn’t think I was going to need help, but I did, and I’m glad I went to the right place! Thank You!!

Excellent in every way!

Excellent knowledge of the law coupled with experience, tactical skills, and resources to get the best possible results. Mr. Kantor understood my case and developed a winning strategy. Best thing I ever did was get Glenn Kantor to represent me. He is truly outstanding.

Glenn is the best disability/ERISA attorney!

Glenn is extremely knowledgeable about both insurance/disability law and my specific condition, multiple sclerosis. Fortunately, my LTD carrier is paying me full benefits, thanks in no small part to Glenn and his team. As a former attorney myself, I can speak with confidence that Glenn goes over an...d above the level of most lawyers with his efforts. More importantly, he is generous with his time and shows true heart in his work. I hope I will never need to litigate my insurance claim, but should my benefits ever be revoked, it is extremely reassuring to know I already have the best insurance lawyer on my team. Even if you've already spoken with other disability attorneys, I would definitely call Glenn to get his opinion about your situation. He's a true star.

Review of Glenn Kantor and his Law firm

We just found out yesterday that my short term disability has been restored and paid by SunLife to us! I was let go while on disability, causing me great financial stress and left me having to prove that I am indeed disabled. With Glenn's tenacity and experienced staff we prevailed. Glenn and hi...s colleagues know what they are dealing with when it comes to these behemoth insurance companies. They took the time, did the research, and found great evidence to support my case. I would highly recommend Kantor Law to anyone in this or a similar situation.

ERISA

As a client of Kantor & Kantor, I am very pleased to say that they know what they are doing. Mr Kantor personally showed up for my case, and that meant a lot to me. It showed me that they care about their clients. I had done everything myself initially and was denied time and time again.After it bein...g my last time to do something I hired Kantor & Kantor. If you need a Attorney who specializes in fighting (Winning) against the Big Insurance Companies, then this is the Law firm you are looking for. If you are physically disabled and unable to work and your Insurance denies you, and you have a legitimate case, call them now.

"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."
