He is an excellent attorney, competent and well versed in the law. He was also kind to me at one of the worst times in my life. I had a good outcome to my case. Recently I reached out to him for some archived documents and was reminded how lucky I was to have him represent me.

Elliot is by far the best attorney EVER! He really makes what seems impossible, possible. My family and I have been clients for many years in different scenarios (criminal and civil) and not once have we walked away unhappy. I truly recommend him (as I always do with family and friends). Appreciate you Elliot!

Mr. Kanter has represented my family on various matters over the last 20 years. He has always been professional in conveying the law as it applies to your particular circumstance. His helpful suggestion in litigating an issue in another state helped me to successfully resolve that case in a positive outcome. And…he didn’t charge me for that. He is a good lawyer who is caring and will work hard for you.

Elliot was recommended to me by my General Counsel. I needed representation for my son for a Federal matter that was time sensitive. Elliot engaged quickly and kept me informed as the matter progressed through resolution. I would engage him again. Thank you, Elliot.

When our son suffered a life-changing medical injury due to negligence, we reached out to several (6 to be exact) attorneys and law firms. Time after time, we were told we either didn't have a case or that, because of California's medical malpractice damage caps, the potential recovery wasn't enough for them to take it. It was incredibly discouraging. Then we spoke with Elliott. From our very first conversation, it was clear that Elliott wasn't focused solely on the financial side of the case. He was focused on justice. He believed our son deserved to be heard, that the health system needed to be held accountable, and that what happened to our son was simply not right. Rather than turning us away because the case might not be financially attractive, Elliott recognized that this was about a little boy who would face surgeries, pain, and lifelong consequences because of someone else's negligence. That compassion and integrity meant everything to our family. Throughout the entire process, Elliott and his team were knowledgeable, responsive, honest, and relentless in advocating for our son. Elliott and his team treated our son like a person, not just another case. Without Elliott and his team, I truly believe our son would have received no compensation while enduring significant pain, suffering, and permanent consequences. We will always be grateful that Elliott chose to fight for our family and our son when others would not. If you're looking for an attorney with exceptional (malpractice) legal skills, genuine compassion, and unwavering integrity, I cannot recommend Elliott and his firm highly enough. He is not only an outstanding attorney he is a stand-up human being. The Brown Family

I cannot say enough great things about the Law office of Elliott Kanter. From the initial consultation, it was clear that he and his team are passionate, highly experienced, and truly committed to helping their clients win. Elliott took the time to really understand my case, explained every step of the process in a way that made me feel informed and confident, and he was always available to answer questions. What stood out most to me was his extensive knowledge and attention to detail. He knows the law inside and out, and able to use that expertise strategically to build a strong case. He and his team were not just going through the motions — they genuinely cared about the outcome and fought hard on my behalf. If you are looking for a well established and reputable law firm that is professional, responsive, and eager to help you get the best possible result, I highly recommend Elliott Kanter.

I would recommend Mr later to anyone who needed any sort of legal representation. He got me the best deal I could get for the charge I got. And maybe even more importantly, he has always given me legal advice or counsel since then.

Elliot was my third attorney during a case that dragged on for two years. I was convinced my situation was hopeless, that there was no outcome I could live with. Elliot proved me wrong. Not only did he help me see a path forward, he actually secured a result better than I thought possible. He cut through the noise, zeroed in on the facts, and helped the judge understand that what I needed was treatment—not prison. I was originally facing nearly 15 years. Instead, I got rehab and two years of low-level probation. Elliot doesn’t work miracles, but he comes close—if you’re willing to do your part. Help yourself, and he’ll fight like hell to help you too.
