Lisa understood our situation and was VERY knowledgeable when it came to issues dealing with eating disorders. She was very fair with us and seemed to really care about our daughter and us. Great job.
Help with a very stressful medical insurance issue
I had a very obscure issue between an employer plan and an individual policy in a foreign country. I spoke to many lawyers before getting to Lisa who had no idea what they were talking about.
Lisa cut through all the issues and zeroed in on the applicable state law which ended up being great news for me.
She basically ended a very stressful moment in our family's life.
Kantor & Kantor has developed a specialized legal practice representing clients whose claims for treatment of eating disorders, and dual diagnosis (substance abuse and other co-morbid conditions) have been unfairly denied by their health insurers or benefit plan. Kantor & Kantor's aggressive approach to litigation and legislation has brought justice for clients who have found themselves fighting for their insurance benefits when benefits were wrongfully denied.
Kantor & Kantor (K&K) represents an increasing number of individuals suffering from life-threatening eating disorders and dual diagnosis conditions, whose health plans refuse to pay for required treatment on the grounds that such life-saving treatment is "not medically necessary," only necessary at a lower level of care, or is limited by plan terms.
Dealing with, and seeking treatment for eating disorders can be emotionally and financially devastating. When your health insurance company gives you a hard time, or when it denies payment for benefits, matters only go from bad to worse. We can help!
Our advocacy in the area of eating disorders has changed California law regarding the way insurers pay benefits for eating disorder care.

Pro Bono - Medical Insurance Appeal
Our eight year old daughter who has significant special needs and requires medically necessary speech therapy was denied speech therapy from our health insurance. Kathleen MacDonald so kindly and generously provided Pro Bono services to our little girl. Kathleen was extremely instrumental, knowledgeable and helpful in helping us reach a favorable outcome with our appeal for speech therapy. Our insurance ended up approving and paying for our daughter's medically necessary speech therapy for (both past and future care). My husband and I are so grateful and thankful to Kathleen because this would not have been possible without all of her help and expertise! Kathleen was so kind, caring and compassionate to work with. I would highly recommend hiring and working with Kathleen.

Medical Insurance Case
I recently had a problem collecting the correct amount of insurance from CIGNA for a significant medical claim. I consulted with Lisa who was terrific. She was extremely knowledgeable about the subject, gave clear and concise advice and went beyond what I expected. I truly felt that my interest was most important to her. Lisa knew exactly what to do and gave me the exact steps I needed to take. Importantly, I followed her suggestions and CIGNA ultimately ended up paying the amount I felt was due. I would highly recommend engaging and hire Lisa.

Dishonest
I'm very sick of these reviews lying. My situation is the same as all these reviews yet when you call they say they don't assist with the very thing they claim in reviews that is called lying and false advertising. It's very dishonest and disheartening too lie too the Public .

Relationship: Worked for lawyer
"Lisa Kantor is my Mother (and supervisor). I endorse her as thoroughly as I can possibly endorse another attorney. She is literally the smartest human being I've ever met, and you will not find another lawyer who fights harder on your behalf. If I'm come anywhere close to being the advocate that she is after practicing for a few decades, I'll consider my career and overwhelming success."
