Andrew M. Kantor

As you can imagine, as the son of Glenn & Lisa Kantor, Associate Attorney Andrew Kantor grew up on a steady diet of client advocacy and passionate representation. While many children would set out to become anything but an attorney in response to such an upbringing, Andrew knew there was no other path for him. Upon graduating from college, Andrew worked at Kantor & Kantor as an intake director. When in law school, he worked as a legal extern for Consumer Watchdog, a public consumer organization specializing in consumer-side insurance issues in the class-action context. Andrew's practice is focused primarily on helping individuals obtain wrongfully denied disability and life insurance benefits in both the ERISA and non-ERISA (bad faith) policies. Since beginning his career at Kantor & Kantor, Andrew has helped hundreds of clients secure wrongfully denied disability benefits, including his most recent victory in Renault v. UNUM wherein he convinced the Court that UNUM's interpretation of its own disability policy to exclude all bonuses and commissions from Ms. Renault's benefit calculation, despite having a commission-based sales position, was improper as a matter of law. Andrew has recently been named as a member of the Community Advisory Council at the Solve ME/CFS Initiative. Andrew also serves on the Board of The Elder Law and Disability Rights Center. In addition, his efforts have been recognized by Super Lawyers, being named a Rising Star in Southern California from 2019, 2020, and 2021. Experiences like these have helped position Andrew as one of the country's leading experts on fighting disability denials for individuals with chronic-fatigue related illnesses, including ME/CFS and Lyme disease.
