Brent Brehm is not just an excellent attorney but a fine human being. I have been a fortunate beneficiary of his brilliance, comprehensiveness and candor, all of which he glued together with his integrity and compassion.
I reached out to him for guidance having to do with a fluid employment situation and an even more fluid health situation. Brent patiently and thoroughly explained to me and my spouse the options available to us, the attendant risks and possible unknowns. Having those facts and variables spelled out clearly replaced our anxiety with clarity. He did not over-promise or pressure us one way or another, and instead set into context some complex legalese.
His ability to glean highly consequential details and spell out the possible impact is one of his finest qualities. He identified a few points where my decision could have had suboptimal outcomes, and that intervention has directly affected my finances. Today, I feel relief rather than regret because of his insights.
Another quality of Brent Brehm that I admire is his candor. During one exchange, I remember asking him if I should have made a different choice 6 months ago. He said “But you didn’t, so let's start with the real present rather than the fictitious past.” His ability to focus on the future is a gift for his clients.
More than a year later, he jumped in once again to help me navigate a similar situation. At very short notice, he looked at complex documentation, offered actionable advice and warned about buried landmines. That guidance, once again, helped give me a stronger hand in financial negotiations.
Also, he doesn’t just advise on “what should I do?” He takes a holistic view of the situation so as to customize his advice and empower his clients. He treats them with respect, not as helpless bystanders.
Speaking from the heart, I can say that a disability eats away not just at your cognitive capabilities but your self-confidence as well. In those moments of despair, Brent offers a calm competence. In this day and age, that is a priceless gift.
I recommend him in the most emphatic terms to anyone who is looking for a disability attorney.

I had a very good experience with Brent Brehm at Kantor & Kantor, who handled my ERISA case. CFS is not an easy illness to prove, and I had done my own very detailed initial appeals, which doubtless made it more challenging for Mr. Brehm. Nonetheless, he did a masterful job of representing me. Mr. Brehm was professional and personable as well. He and the very experienced attorneys at Kantor & Kantor make a formidable team that definitely keep the opposition on their toes. I would highly recommend Mr. Brehm and this firm for any ERISA case.

When you’re dealing with a former employer’s disability insurance carrier who had no problem approving both your STD and LTD claims - then immediately deny them because you just exhausted your state disability benefits and the burden of paying you is now on the insurance carrier - you know you’re dealing with a major crook and need the right legal counsel to fight for you. After doing my due diligence on several law firms, I retained Kantor & Kantor and boy, was I right in choosing them. I was assigned to two other lawyers and eventually, Brent Brehm. Everyone was patient and made sure all the right things happened. Two years later, my mediation ended up in a favorable settlement, thanks largely to impressive Brent. A man of few words whose careful evaluation, wise counsel and prompt responses generated positive results. I highly recommend him to those who are battling corrupt insurance companies and need help. Be patient and trust Brent to fight for you!

The best law firm I have ever worked with! Very professional with great communications and strategy. The Kantor team knows their way around the legal system and has direct experience with many of the judges and other attorneys. Kantor also has access to the best resources like the case P.I. and the negotiator. I'm very satisfied with their work and I highly recommend them.

Glenn Kantor and his team at Kantor & Kantor came highly recommended to our family. Our situation came about quickly and urgently during COVID. Start to finish, Mr. Kantor and his top notch paralegal helped us submit the initial disability application within just two weeks. The likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed out of reach. However, not only were Mr. Kantor and his team able to help us procure first private company short term disability, then long term disability, but were also able to preserve my husband's life insurance policy from his employer without any further premium payments by us. They also had a first-rate recommendation for a social security attorney, Megan Ditolla, who was able to help secure the SSA benefits as well. These two firms work seamlessly together to get disabled persons the benefits they truly deserve, and all done with compassion, very quick response times to all questions and concerns and much needed humor sprinkled in. Their calm and empathetic demeanor offered me much needed emotional support and support to those I care about most. My husband, children and I are eternally grateful for their over-the-top 200% EXCELLENT service and I would highly recommend Glenn Kantor and his team at Kantor & Kantor without reservation to all who need these types of services. Three words: ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!!!

I hired Alan after my disability company wrongfully terminated my benefits, assuming I would just crawl away with my tail between my legs. Alan was able to get them to reinstate me and nailed them for a lump sum for bad faith practices. If your disability company pulls sneaky crap on you… hire Alan and Kantor & Kantor. Don’t fight them yourself!

Alan was absolutely incredible to watch work. He has a great ability to empathize with his clients, and this understanding gives Alan the aptitude to convey the strong emotions of a tough case with mediators and judges. When we met, he was calm and cool under any discussion, and could see all sides of a case or possibility when I had already come to conclusions of how things would go, either for better or worse. He could assure me that my worst fears had not considered optimal routes, and that my greatest hopes had not considered possible snags. His mindful nature kept me going and kept me realistic about my case, and I cannot thank him enough.

My husband and I are beyond grateful to Tim Rozelle and the entire team at Kantor & Kantor for their exceptional support and unwavering dedication over the past three years. We were entangled in a prolonged battle with our insurance company, Moda, over the denial of coverage for my husband’s proton therapy cancer treatment. Thanks to Tim's expertise and persistence, we have finally reached a settlement and can now move forward with peace of mind.
Tim Rozelle is not just an outstanding attorney; he is a compassionate and understanding advocate for his clients. Throughout our grueling three-year process, Tim was a constant source of reassurance and strength. His ability to empathize with our situation and communicate complex legal matters in an accessible and friendly manner made a world of difference. It’s rare to find someone in the legal profession who is both highly skilled and genuinely caring, but Tim embodies both qualities effortlessly.
We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have had Tim and the Kantor & Kantor firm in our corner. Their relentless pursuit of justice and client-centered approach have profoundly impacted our lives. If you need a legal team that combines expertise, empathy, and effectiveness, look no further than Tim Rozelle and Kantor & Kantor. They have our highest recommendation.
Thank you, Tim, for everything you’ve done for us. We couldn't have asked for a better advocate and partner in this journey.

This was a rough case which everyone said that it was impossible to sue an Insurance Company and win.
Kantor & Kantor made the impossible possible.
They were confident from the start that they were going to do their best to accomplish.
And they Concurred it with Hard word and the motivation to make it all happen.
I was told to sit back not to worry and let them do all the work which was a Big Relief due to the circumstances of the Lawsuit.
The Insurance company did everything they could to make things hard for all but Kantor & Kantor does not take no for an answer and continued on and showed them who was running the show.
Unfortunately my Love of my Life had passed during the case and Kantor & Kantor made it easy for me to convince the judge to let me continue the case in my name. I wasn't going to give up easy and either was Kantor & Kantor and again they were successful. They made me feel like I wasn't just another Client but part of a family which made me feel at ease due to the loss of my beautiful wife.
I am forever grateful to them and their team for pulling off what everyone Said was impossible.
Nothing in this world is impossible when you have the right people backing you up and Kantor & Kantor in my opinion is the best there is at what they do.
Thank you

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 .

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.

Top Questions to Ask a Business Lawyer
Before hiring a business lawyer, ask the following questions during your consultation:
-
What is your experience with businesses like mine?
Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry. -
What services do you offer?
Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution. -
What are your fees, and how do you bill?
Get clarity on how you'll be charged - whether by the hour, flat fee, or retainer. -
How do you handle conflicts of interest?
Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business. -
Can you provide references from other business clients?
Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism. -
Do you have experience in my specific industry?
Industry-specific knowledge can be crucial, especially in highly regulated fields like healthcare or finance.
How to Check the Credibility of a Business Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable business lawyer:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is in good standing and has no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for client reviews or testimonials: Online reviews, testimonials, or word of mouth from other business owners can provide insight into the lawyer's reliability and effectiveness.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have satisfied clients who can vouch for their services.
- Check professional memberships: Membership in respected legal organizations (such as the American Bar Association or a local business lawyer association) can signal credibility.
- Review their website and professional profile: A well-established lawyer typically has a professional website showcasing their areas of expertise, credentials, and case success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a business lawyer, prepare the following:
- A description of your business and its structure: This will help the lawyer understand your legal needs.
- Any current contracts or agreements: If you're seeking contract advice, bring copies of existing contracts.
- A list of legal issues or concerns: Be ready to discuss any potential legal challenges, such as regulatory compliance, disputes, or transactions.
- Financial documents: If applicable, bring financial records related to the legal matter you're seeking help with.
- Questions about fees and billing: Ensure you understand the lawyer’s payment structure and fees upfront.
By preparing these materials, you can ensure that your first meeting with a business lawyer is productive and informative.
