Glenn Robert Kantor

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.

I suffer from a rare, incurable disorder and had been receiving long term disability benefits for 10 years. Suddenly, my carrier decided that I was “no longer disabled” and canceled my benefits. I found Kantor and Kantor who immediately accepted my case and began the appeal process. They set up a ...Functional Capacity Evaluation in which I was examined for a whole day to determine my ability to work and the assessment determined that I was too disabled to work. Armed with this information, along with statements from my doctors, the appeal was submitted and was denied. Kantor and Kantor proceeded to file a lawsuit which resulted in a settlement in mediation. Corinne Chandler handled my case and her knowledge, expertise and hard work resulted in a very fair settlement after a long and difficult mediation process. In addition, Kantor and Kantor was very fair with their fees. I am extremely pleased with the outcome of my case and would highly recommend this firm if you need legal assistance with your disability benefits.

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.

I reached out to the Kantor law firm about my 91-year-old mother's LTC policy having been terminated because she forgot to pay her bills due to sudden onset of cognitive impairment. She had been paying big bucks for this policy for almost 20 years, but hit a mental wall with all her bills last summer... and is no longer capable of keeping up with her mail. Initially the firm wrote back and said they don't usually handle reinstatement cases. Then I received a personal email from Glenn who told me that my story kept him awake at night. He wanted to extend me a helping hand via email, gratis. His moral support and generous advice helped me through a very difficult process with the insurance company, and I'm happy to report that my mother's LTC policy has finally been reinstated after three grueling months and dozens of phone calls, faxes and sleepless nights of anxiety. Glenn is a real person who truly cares about people before money. He took it upon himself to keep in touch with me personally as well as send me a copy of a statute that helped me come up with the precise wording when crafting my own letter to the insurance company about reinstatement. I will not hesitate to hire Glenn down the line should my mom's insurance company ever give us trouble with a claim. He is a true gem.

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.
