The Best!

Kantor & Kantor was instrumental in winning my LTD case against a major LTD carrier. Recommended by a retired lawyer friend of the family, my initial consultation with Glenn Kantor made it obvious that they were the right choice to help me win my LTD appeal. Still I did interview the major firms that... specialize in ERISA law (some more expensive, some less expensive), however this is not a situation where you want to choose the cheapest firm! Speaking from experience, it is much better to receive a larger percentage of something, than 100 percent of Nothing! Like mine, I am sure that most disability journeys are full of anxiety and depression and it is very difficult and stressful when having to deal with questions and requests from your LTD carrier in order to continue to receive your benefits. My main contact at Kantor & Kantor was Mr. Andrew Kantor. Andrew’s professionalism, optimism, follow up and his ability to explain my case in a way I could understand was refreshing and greatly appreciated! I will be forever grateful for him and everyone at Kantor and Kantor for helping in my need and putting me on ease in the most professional way I have seen to date. In my opinion the appeal process is impossible for those who go through it disabled. I used to be a smart guy, and there was NO WAY I would have considered the appeal by myself! The insurance companies are huge and well resourced and the only way you have a chance of winning is to hire Kantor and Kantor. Andrew and his team dealt with them masterfully, as far as I am concerned Kantor & Kantor was on top of everything. They kept me informed and up-to-date. They answered all my questions promptly. And they showed real compassion in their dealings with me. Bottom Line: Kantor & Kantor won my appeal and if anyone who is on LTD and needs help I highly recommend Kantor & Kantor for a positive outcome.

Glenn Kantor and Beth Davis are excellent disability attorneys!

I’m a lawyer. So when I became ill and needed an attorney, I researched every disability firm in Southern California. At the top of my list was Kantor & Kantor. The day I met Glenn Kantor, he had just undergone painful dental surgery and had only returned to the office to pick up a few files bef...ore heading home. Nevertheless, Glenn agreed to stay and speak to me about my situation. The meeting lasted a couple of hours. Halfway through, I had already decided to hire his firm. So, for the rest of the conversation, I felt like I was talking to a concerned friend. If you are seriously ill, you know how good it feels to speak to someone who both understands and cares what you are going through. After retaining his services, Glenn introduced me to a younger lawyer at his firm, Beth Davis. When I met with Beth, I realized she had already read and understood the medical literature on my illness, which was no small task, given that I have a rare and difficult to understand condition. After the meeting, Beth requested my medical records—again, not an easy task, given the number of physicians I had seen—and then planned a course of action. When all the information was gathered, we submitted the claim to my insurance company, supported by numerous doctor letters and the latest medical research. When the insurance company sent one of its investigators to interview me, Beth was at my side. Soon thereafter, I was awarded full benefits. Of course there were a few bumps along the way—doctors don’t always keep the best notes and insurance companies are apt to misinterpret them—but Beth resolved every problem admirably, making sure that, in the end, I received everything I was entitled to under my policy. And she managed to do so without irritating or upsetting my insurance company. At a time when I was not physically capable of handling stress, I found working with Kantor & Kantor a complete pleasure. They are, no doubt, the best disability law firm in Southern California.

Glenn Kantor and his team are an AMAZING group of legal professionals.

I was diagnosed with MS soon after beginning my career in Investment Finance. I thrived within my profession for 10 years before I began experiencing “invisible” symptoms that impacted my daily life and job performance. After discussing options with my doctor we agreed taking a short-term leave of ab...sence was the responsible thing to do. While on leave my claim was retroactively denied forcing me to return to work and pay back the benefits I had received. I was devastated. I immediately began seeking legal aid for the first time in my life but began losing hope after repeatedly being told I “didn’t have a case”. I started to believe no one except my doctor would recognize the severity of my symptoms because they were “invisible”. Although my cognitive abilities including memory have been affected by MS, I will never forget the feeling I experienced when I received the call letting me know Glenn Kantor would like to represent me, it was overwhelmingly emotional in the best way possible. Glenn and his team have been incredible. They are professional, compassionate, thorough, patient, informative, and always seem to go above and beyond what I anticipate. Kantor & Kantor has been by my side for almost 6 years now and I can’t even begin to express how lucky I feel to have found a team I can put 100% of my trust into when dealing with an incredibly delicate personal struggle. Proving a disability should not be harder than living with one yet often it is, but with the help of Kantor & Kantor I am better able to focus on my health, well-being and pursuit of a better health related quality of life.

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!

Amazing prompt caring lawyer!

Glen Kantor and his firm are very thorough prompt and responsive. It was very easy to work with him throughout my case without any issues. I provided the information and the documents in the beginning which he were needed and he and his team worked at lightening speed to get my case filed and resolv...ed. My case was very unique since United Healthcare denied coverage for Harvoni, new HCV Medication and my condition and liver cirrhosis were rapidly deteriorating. In an era of a new available cure and medical guidelines changing by the moment, Glenn and his team were on top of it all. His level of responsiveness and and accuracy combined with knowledge of the very specific laws are amazing and on point. I highly recommend Glenn and his team without hesitation. If I have any issues in the future he is the only on e I will call for help.

"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."
