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.

Thoughtful, thorough, and genuinely client-centered representation
I worked with Lisa Kantor along with attorney Ken Gertz on a legal matter that required patience, clarity, and persistence. Both were excellent on all fronts. But because this is a review of Kantor & Kantor, I'll talk about working with her. Lisa took the time to listen carefully, she understood ...

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 .

Great lawyer and person
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...

Skillful, trustworthy and extremely competent
Lisa negotiated a complicated and difficult medical insurance case for our family that ended in a successful resolution. Highly recommended.
"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."
