Kantor & Kantor Recognized as 2025's Top Boutique Law Firm

Kantor & Kantor, LLP, a notable law firm dedicated to helping individuals wrongfully denied insurance benefits, has received the prestigious label of 2025's Top Boutique Law Firm, as announced by the Daily Journal. This recognition highlights the firm’s exceptional litigation accomplishments and its impact in the fields of insurance law and ERISA, along with its unwavering dedication to client-first advocacy.

A Legacy of Advocacy

Founded in 2004 by Glenn and Lisa Kantor, the firm began as a family-run practice in Northridge, California. Since then, it has evolved into a respected player on the national stage, with offices expanded across the West Coast and a clientele reaching all corners of the United States. Senior Partner Andrew Kantor has continued the tradition of compassionate, results-driven legal representation, modernizing the firm’s strategies while preserving its family-oriented culture.

“This award is a testament to our clients,” emphasized Andrew Kantor. “We stand by individuals during their most challenging times—when an insurance provider has denied them essential care, benefits, or the stability they rightfully deserve. Our mission has always been to advocate with skill, compassion, and determination to ensure our clients receive what they are owed.”

Major Legal Victories in 2025

The recent recognition follows a year filled with significant victories in various legal battles concerning ERISA, long-term disability, life insurance, and health benefit litigation. The firm marked several notable achievements:

• - Cockerill v. Corteva, Inc.: Secured class-wide relief and over $9 million in attorney's fees in an ERISA anti-cutback and fiduciary duty action after a corporate spin-off.
• - Dharmasena v. MetLife: Successfully reinstated long-term disability benefits while recovering approximately $89,500 in unpaid claims during a contested disability trial.
• - Dan C. v. Directors Guild of America: Scored a victory in the Ninth Circuit, guaranteeing access to residential mental health treatment for minors.
• - Watson v. EMC Corp.: Achieved a substantial payout of nearly $633,000 in life insurance benefits for a surviving spouse in a fiduciary breach case.

These achievements have solidified Kantor & Kantor’s reputation as a leading firm in ERISA and insurance benefit litigation.

Commitment to Clients and Advocacy

The Daily Journal has commended the firm for its persistent commitment to supporting individuals facing complicated health, mental health, and disability-related insurance denials. Notably, Kantor & Kantor has been at the forefront of advocacy for conditions that are frequently misunderstood or marginalized by insurers, such as autoimmune diseases, mental health conditions, eating disorders, and disabilities related to Long-COVID.

Kantor remarks, “Our culture is our greatest strength. We value our team, have unwavering faith in our clients, and treat each case as if it were our own family’s.” Under Andrew Kantor's guidance, the firm has expanded its influence nationally, invested in digital solutions for enhanced client accessibility, and established stronger collaborations with healthcare providers and patient advocacy groups, all while adhering to its core principles of empathy, integrity, and relentless advocacy.
