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.

Conscientious and Knowledgeable
For the past 2 1/2 years I have been dealing with an ongoing appeal process of both a STD and LTD claim. My disability insurance was through an employer sponsored plan, which fell under ERISA, and given the complexity of the law we decided to seek professional help. We interviewed over 5 very highl...

Making a wrong situation right
Glenn and the team at Kantor & Kantor has made a difficult situation easier. Their attention to detail and compassion went a long way to helping my family and getting our situation resolved. My sister met with Glenn originally and I was skeptical about our chances of getting my dads insurance case ...

Effective, brilliant, and caring
Glenn was a truly amazing advocate for me. He believed in my story fervently, and it was clear that he cared deeply about my case. Plus he got amazing, life-changing results. Everything about my experience with Glenn surpassed my expectations. He and his firm are wonderful.

Solved the unsolvable
I live in San Francisco and while Kantor and Kantor based in Northridge Glenn took the time to meet with me in person to discuss my appeal.

no nonsense lawyer
Glenn secured the reinstatement of my LTD benefits and his team was professional and responsive at all times during the appeal process. I was impressed with their honesty and urgency towards my case. I cannot recommend Glenn and his firm enough to anyone facing a denial of LTD benefits from a conglom...
"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."
