A Lifeline After a Devastating Medical Error

When a surgical mistake left my husband with permanent complications, we were lost. Mr. Cantor’s reputation for medical malpractice expertise, including his Lawyer of the Year recognition, gave us hope. His 18 years of experience were immediately evident. He patiently explained the complex medical and legal issues, managed our expectations, and fought tenaciously. His team at Cantor Grana Buckner Bucci was equally professional. The settlement he secured has provided crucial financial security for my husband’s long-term care. We are profoundly grateful for his exceptional skill and compassionate guidance throughout this difficult process.
