Excellent Experience

We had an outstanding experience with Kantor & Kantor, LLP. Working with Glenn Kantor and staff, to appeal denials of Short Term Disability (STD) and Long Term Disability (LTD) payments for our daughter. She became disabled by Dysautonomia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome while working in Washington D.C.... She has had to move back home to California. The insurance company denied continued STD, then denied the LTD. Glenn worked with us to lay out a strategy for testing and information to provide in the appeals. With his expert guidance, recommendations and support, the full STD was paid, and the denial for LTD has been reversed. We are very grateful to Glenn and Kantor & Kantor, LLP.

Precedent Setter

I’m an experienced attorney with over two decades in practice. I became aware of the Kantor firm while researching disability case law when the severity of my illness started to increase. To my knowledge the Kantor firm is one of only a very few pro-patient disability law firms in Southern Califor...nia consistently setting pro-patient precedent not only at the federal district court level, but at the federal appellate court level as well. To me this indicates the firm is willing to take cases to court when needed, and capable of prevailing when they do so. In my experience this type of track record leads to a higher level of credibility with insurance companies that can help optimize settlements when litigation is not needed. When I reached out, I found out in addition that Glenn is a compassionate and focused attorney. I have high standards for legal counsel and I'm very glad for Glenn.

Satisfied client

Glenn Kantor recently won an appeal for me with an insurance company resulting in the collection of 9 months worth of benefit payment they owed me. The insurance company has committed to continuing monthly payments to me as well. Glenn and his team are Great!

Long Term Care Insurance Appeal Successful

We hired Glenn Kantor to appeal our mother's long term care insurance claim that had been delayed for months and denied by her insurer. Glenn was quick to respond to us and, with his help, our appeal was successful! We found Glenn to be easy to deal with, smart and effective. We highly recommend him....

Back on claim thanks to Kantor and Kantor!

When my long-term disability insurance claim was denied under flimsy pretenses I soon became resigned to the idea that I was going to have to find work while still recovering from back surgery. I was progressing slowly but clearly a ways away from being able to work a job in any serious capacity, so ...this turn of events stole away much of my hope that I would ever fully return to health. It was truly lucky then that I took chance on Kantor and Kantor. I knew I needed help but didn’t know where to begin to look for legal advice; fortunately, speaking with the staff quickly put me at ease. I sought advice from several firms, but Kantor and Kantor was the through-line during the process, checking in exactly when I needed assistance and walking me through the details of the appeal process that were keeping me up at night. Glenn Kantor took the time to call me ahead of important events and to check in before, during and after decisions were made. At any point, if I ever felt the process starting to slip away, Kantor and Kantor made themselves available to ease me fears. The result of all this was that, true to their word, I was put back on claim. It was as they had expected based on the facts of my case, but it was a monumental shock to me - the best possible scenario seemed so far out of reach as to be comical but here I am living it out. I owe Kantor and Kantor a great deal of gratitude for the work they did - they were honest, fair in how/what they assess in terms of any potential legal fees and truly kind, as well. I don’t think things would have worked out without them and I recommend them to any folks who are having issues with their disability insurance claims.

"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."
