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.

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!

Fast results, excellent service, and compassionate too

I highly recommend Kantor & Kantor for legal needs. They did an excellent job solving my disability insurance problem. I actually contacted three different law firms when problems came up with my disability insurance. Kantor & Kantor turned out to be the best, taking the initiative to quickly reso...lve the issue. They gave individualized attention to my case and treated me with warmth and respect. They have personal relationships with attorneys at the disability-insurance companies, so they quickly find solutions that would be impossible otherwise. Contacting Kantor and Kantor was the best decision I have made in ages!

The Best.

When we first met Glenn, he immediately saw the frustration in our faces after months of dealing with our disability insurance company. Glenn looked at all the facts, took our case and from there, everything changed. The firm handled everything on my behalf. No more harassing calls of the insuranc...e company giving us the run around our papering us to death. My reinstatement of benefits is a result of Glenn and the firm's hard work! I truly recommend Glenn to anybody who needs help with their disability claims!

Great lawyer

Mr. Glen Kantor and his firm are very thorough and responsive. It was very easy to work with him throughout my case without any hiccups or delay. I provided the information and the documents in the beginning which he required and he did the rest of the work until the end of my case. My case was ver...y unique since CIGNA denied coverage for my Three-Level Artificial Disc Replacement in the lumbar section of my spine in Germany due to FDA’s stand of multi-level disc replacement as being an “unproven procedure”. I had to pay out of pocket to have my surgery done in Germany and Mr. Glen Kantor was able to work with me on my case against CIGNA thousands of miles away from the States. I would definitely recommend him and the firm to any of my family members or anyone who needs a good lawyer to get the job done.

"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."
