Amazing Work/Attention to Detail, and an Incredible Attorney

During a physically, mentally and emotionally trying time for me I worked with Evan and on my case and he was highly qualified, attentive and professional. He was well versed on my type of case and kept me in the loop during the entire process. I was able to lean on him for full transparency and true... facts. He fully advised me on every option, and made me aware of any possible ramifications for my situation. My attorney was always available for me to schedule a call to go over any questions or concerns. I really appreciate the support and guidance I received from Evan. I would highly recommend him and I’m so thankful for the passion and dedication he has shown on my case which has led to great results and a better outcome for myself.

Best Workers' Compensation Attorney!

Evan S. Kantz is the best Workers’ Compensation Law attorney I have ever worked with. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in simple terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our scheduled meetings. I not only recommend Evan, bu...t I guarantee once you have used his services… you too will look no further. He and his great legal team composed by Chris Malter, Alma Oseguera and Robert Mueller, respond in an extremely timely matter, he and his team are very knowledgeable, and trustworthy people. There is no other attorney that will work as hard for you. I used Evan’s legal services and found he is a wonderful attorney to work with. I could not have been happier with this experience, and I will never go anywhere else. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable attorney in the area of Workers’ Compensation Law, then look no further and ask for Evan S. Kantz at Savin-Bursk Law.

Excellent Attorney!

I cannot recommend Savin & Bursk highly enough. When I was injured at work I initially tried to handle my claim myself, and very quickly became bogged down in a bureaucratic quagmire that at times seemed insurmountable. I finally decided that I needed help, and I am beyond grateful that I found Savin... & Bursk to represent me. Evan Kantz and his team were amazing every step of the way. Evan knows Workers Compensation law backwards and forwards and is incredibly patient and articulate in explaining the whole process and answering any questions you might have. He genuinely cares about his clients wellbeing and is very passionate about representing them against unscrupulous insurance companies. Within a very short amount of time he bulldozed through the bureaucratic red tape and started getting results for me. Without Evan and the team at Savin & Bursk I would probably still be chasing my tail (which is without a doubt part of the strategy for insurance companies).

This is What Happens When Evan Kantz is Your Attorney

I have been a dental hygienist for 20 years and worked 4-5 days a week for most of my clinical career. I'm considered a workhorse in the dental industry, but that comes with some very real risks. Injuries to your elbow, neck, back, and wrists are pretty common when you spend all day sitting in one po...sition. On top of that, having to work with inferior equipment that forces you into bad posture. Dentists often don't listen when we speak out about the need for new equipment and instruments- many times, the mindset is that it's normal to work in pain as hygienists and suck it up! When I finally could not take the pain anymore, I visited my physician and was placed immediately on workers comp. I was due to see patients after my doctor's visit that day. When I went back to work, they were in shock because everyone, including myself, thought I would get medication and be sent on my merry way. After 6 months of getting "jerked" around by my employer's workers compensation carrier, I decided to hire an attorney. I was very fortunate to have come across Evan through a referral. My first consultation with Evan was an education in Workers Compensation 101. Evan is a lawyer with an understanding of the law and how it affects his clients. He also wants you to understand the law and your benefits. He keeps you informed every step of the way. You can expect communication from his staff on occasion, but Evan called me to discuss my case every step of the way. Yes, you heard me correctly…..Evan calls YOU! He also personally answers your emails in such a prompt and timely manner it is almost shocking. I had a direct line of communication with Evan at all times. Evan is a worker's compensation attorney that will take the worry and stress off your plate. Hiring him to be on your side means you can focus all of your energy on recovering from an injury without being concerned about whether he has everything under control. The process of hiring an attorney is stressful enough without having to worry if they have your best interest in mind. He knows that each client deserves first-class representation and does not compromise on his clients' well-being or legal needs. Evan does not tolerate incompetent insurance companies, adjusters, or other attorneys. Evan was always there with a solution every time I needed help. He knew every possible avenue for proper compensation. Everyone deserves quality representation. Even if you feel like the insurance company is taking care of you, chances are you won't be informed of your rights and entitlement. Do yourself a favor; stop thinking about whether or not you should retain an attorney for your case. Allow Evan to advocate for you on your behalf. Every step of the way was a positive encounter with Evan, Alma (his paralegal who is just as outstanding), and the staff at Savin &Bursk. I can say with absolutely no doubt that Evan Kantz is highly competent in the laws of worker's compensation. His brilliant knowledge of the law will astound you. I firmly believe Evan put my interests first. I highly recommend you allow him to do the same for you. Stop thinking about it and call Evan.

Compassionate and Professional

Evan was empathetic throughout the processing of my workers' compensation claim showing tremendous integrity. He thoroughly explained the nuances of the legalities of workers' comp in Calif and was honest about potential outcomes. I highly recommend Evan and Savin and Bursk.
