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...s colleagues know what they are dealing with when it comes to these behemoth insurance companies. They took the time, did the research, and found great evidence to support my case. I would highly recommend Kantor Law to anyone in this or a similar situation.

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...wn health care providers. At every turn Team Kantor's efforts on my behalf were met with stalling tactics and worse, but my attorney's perseverance and methodical work finally delivered a successful outcome nearly two years later in February 2013. When my outlook on the case was low Team Kantor dug in even harder to fight. My secure and dignified life would not be possible without Kantor & Kantor and I would recommend this firm to anyone seeking similar justice for themselves.

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...ack-pay. I am so grateful to Mr. Kantor and his legal team for their expertise and care in handling such an important and life altering issue in my life. A mediator/judge in one of our depositions actually said to me that my attorneys were "very good attorneys". I highly recommend Mr. Kantor and his team based on the integrity, ethics, and expertise they used in handling my case.

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... was the expert I was looking for. Those first impressions only became more solid as our working relationship grew. That's a key point - "working relationship" - because Glenn worked with me and my wife closely to obtain the ERISA disability benefits that were denied me by my insurance company after two years of payments. Before we even hired Glenn, he volunteered his services as my wife and I spent six months putting together an extensive appeal to reinstate my benefits. He provided background, ideas, and ultimately a review of our appeal at no cost. We realized our appeal was a long shot - only because what we'd learned of the less-than-honest disability insurance industry. Ultimately, we were denied our appeal and asked Glenn to work on my behalf (on contingency). Early in his career, he worked that side of the industry, so knows how they play and how to effectively file a lawsuit on the client's behalf. And though we were separated by hundreds of miles, it made no difference. In the end, Glenn and his staff were able to convince the insurance company to reinstate my benefits BEFORE going to court. Additionally, I received all back-pay (plus interest) and continue to receive benefits years later. Glenn's fee was very fair (especially considering the work he put in for months prior to being hired), and is certainly a man of his word.

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...g my last time to do something I hired Kantor & Kantor. If you need a Attorney who specializes in fighting (Winning) against the Big Insurance Companies, then this is the Law firm you are looking for. If you are physically disabled and unable to work and your Insurance denies you, and you have a legitimate case, call them now.

"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."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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."
