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.

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...

Team Kantor delivers in a marathon case (May 2011 - February 2013)
I had already been turned down by another disability-focused law firm when Kantor & Kantor agreed to take my case in May 2011. Team Kantor guided me through the tedious and critical administrative aspects of dealing with my former employer and their long term disability administrator as well as my o...

Integrity, Ethics, and Expertise, a Winning Combination
Mr. Kantor accepted my case in spite of the small probability we would actually win, because he believed in it. He was supportive and informative during the process, and was flexible in my favor with his fees. We did, in the end, actually end up winning our case and my benefits were reinstated with b...

ERISA Disability Law Expert for the Everyday Man or Woman
I learned of Glenn through a disability forum several years ago. For weeks, I followed the forum and identified him as very knowledgeable of ERISA law. After asking him to call me, we spoke for some time about my needs and his background. He immediately struck me as personable and I could see that he...

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...
"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."
