An Outstanding Advocate

I needed help getting BlueShield to change its practices. They denied me coverage for my Hepatitis C medication. My health plan is a company sponsored one so it fell under ERISA, there are no punitive damages awarded on such lawsuits so it was difficult to find an attorney willing to take the case. I... spoke with Glenn Kantor and he wanted to help. So he took the case. Thanks to Glen's work and that of his Firm's Blue Shield changed its practices and sent approval letters to 1,000s of insured who had been previously denied treatment for Hepatitis C, in many cases this treatment is life saving and in all cases life altering. Without Glenn Kantor all of these patients including myself would have had to go without treatment or wait for a miracle. I highly recommend Glenn Kantor for your legal advocacy needs. Thank you Glenn!!!

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.

Generous and caring attorney

I reached out to the Kantor law firm about my 91-year-old mother's LTC policy having been terminated because she forgot to pay her bills due to sudden onset of cognitive impairment. She had been paying big bucks for this policy for almost 20 years, but hit a mental wall with all her bills last summer... and is no longer capable of keeping up with her mail. Initially the firm wrote back and said they don't usually handle reinstatement cases. Then I received a personal email from Glenn who told me that my story kept him awake at night. He wanted to extend me a helping hand via email, gratis. His moral support and generous advice helped me through a very difficult process with the insurance company, and I'm happy to report that my mother's LTC policy has finally been reinstated after three grueling months and dozens of phone calls, faxes and sleepless nights of anxiety. Glenn is a real person who truly cares about people before money. He took it upon himself to keep in touch with me personally as well as send me a copy of a statute that helped me come up with the precise wording when crafting my own letter to the insurance company about reinstatement. I will not hesitate to hire Glenn down the line should my mom's insurance company ever give us trouble with a claim. He is a true gem.

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!

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!

"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."
