Thankful for using Elliott Kanter
I can't recommend Elliott Kanter enough! He was always there for us during a trying time. He is very patient, comforting and never put out by our constant questions concerning our case.

A very grateful client
I was very satisfied with the way Mr. Kanter handled my medical case. I believe I was given accurate information about the possible outcome and the Mr. Kanter represented me as well as possible. I have had the opportunity to do some business with Mr. Kanter recently, in another capacity and still believe him to be fair and to fight for his clients to the best of his and their ability. I have given his name to others who are looking for an attorney and would call him again, if I needed an attorney. Mr. Kanter does not forget his clients when the case has concluded.
