The leading national Disability claims law firm

Kantor & Kantor LLP, the leading national Disability claims law firm, represented me in claiming STD, LTD and Chronic illness coverage. Glenn Kantor was professional and compassionate during a very hard time period. In addition, the firm went above and beyond throughout the application filing perio...d, guiding and supporting me until all claims were approved. Kantor's lawyers and paralegals are experts when it comes to Disability claims representation and I would not hesitate to strongly recommend them to anyone who have a claim with an insurance company.

Deserving of 10 Stars

Glenn Kantor assisted us in reaching a settlement with our insurance company for recovery of out of pocket medical expenses which the insurer deemed not covered by our policy. Glenn fought with tenacity and took on the insurance company as though we were family. Glenn was responsive to our calls an...d helped us through a difficult period in our lives. In the end, he helped us reach a reasonable settlement and we are forever thankful to him for his diligent work. I hate the thought of ever needing to hire an attorney again in my life, but should the need arise I can promise that I will hire Glenn Kantor.

Beth Davis and her team are AMAZING

I found Kantor and Kantor online after my moms long term disability claim was denied. My mom was very fragile, emotionally and physically. The stress from dealing with the insurance company impacted her health significantly. It was a very stressful and emotional time but finding this firm turned ever...ything around. There was constant support, empathy and communication. Beth went above and beyond to make my mom feel comfortable and let her know she would fight this thru. Fast forward 7 months... they won our appeal and my mom was awarded what was rightfully hers. Full LTD benefits with back pay! I KNOW 100% we wouldn’t have received this result without the strong team behind us. The ins company did everything they could to deny her claim but Beth and her team were relentless and equipped with a team of outside experts and medical professionals which helped make our case even stronger. They were always one step ahead. From the beginning I had confidence in this firm, but actually going thru the process and seeing how much work they put into our case made me realize that they truly cared about the outcome, not just for monetary purposes, but because they wanted to help my mom. I highly recommend this firm and their team.

From the very first time I spoke to Mr Kantor, he listened with a kind heart. He was honest and how the law needed to be considered in my situation. And I greatly appreciate in choosing to take my case on in his firm. Anyone who is walking through a medical situation naturally has a more difficult ab...ility to understand what is being said. My pain limited my comprehension. You understood that. I am very grateful for his decision to allow his firm to handle my case

Humbled by the incredible service and care from Glenn Kantor and his firm

I found Kantor & Kantor through a google search when I was desperately looking for help after an insurance company (offered through my employer) was withholding disability pay from me. I had looked into several firms over the span of a couple days and couldn’t get over some of the reviews out there. ...No one seemed to have as great of reviews as Kantor and Kantor and so I decided to visit their website and fill out a consultation form. I wasn’t expecting to hear back any time soon considering that the stay at home order due to COVID-19 was just put in place that week and I assumed that people weren’t in the office or they were not accepting new clients at this time. It wasn’t even an hour or so later that Glenn Kantor himself gave me a call to talk and find out more about how he could help me. In short, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and because of my most recent relapse, I’d been left with some symptoms that made it impossible for me to work. I am a financial advisor for a very well-known firm and I never thought that I would find myself in a position where I needed help this urgently. My insurance company wanted to stop paying me the week my employer would no longer be responsible for my pay and they would have to take over. Glenn took time to learn about me, he shared with me that MS is actually very close to their firm’s heart- as a very important member of their firm is also diagnosed with it, and in less than 20 minutes, I felt more understood than I had in months. Glenn didn’t waste a minute, he told me that he was happy to write a letter to someone he knew at the insurance company and see if he couldn’t completely resolve my issue without ever having to pursue litigation. Let me just say, the letter that Glenn wrote and sent out that same day brought me to tears. I’m not a very emotional person, but this was an emotional time for me, it seemed the world was falling apart inside and outside of our home and then there was this incredible human being. A man who expected nothing in return, but just wanted to do what he could to help and came to my defense without a second to spare. Not only was his letter firm, precise, and completely professional, but it was kind and funny at the same time. I read the letter out loud to my husband because I was so blown away by it and he simply said “I love him.” Yes. That about sums it up. It took approximately 2 weeks for Glenn’s letter to completely resolve my issues. The insurance company acted quicker than ever, making sure I knew that they were “taking care of my claim and processing it as a high priority.” Glenn was quick to try and give them the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe he just helped it along a little bit, but I know wholeheartedly that it was through his letter, his reputation and his connections that my claim went from the bottom of the stack to the very top. I had written letter after letter to the company, called them for weeks on end trying to do everything I could to avoid having a disruption in my benefits and I was continuously strung along. I just couldn’t be more appreciative. Glenn wanted nothing in return from me and so I felt absolutely compelled to at least sit down and take the time to share my story and experience with Kantor & Kantor and tell anyone who might find themselves in a similar position that there are some amazing people out there who want nothing but to help you and luckily enough for all of us- several of them work together at this firm.

"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."
