Law Office of Andrew S Cantor

I found Andrew online and I am so glad that I did. I was in the middle of making an offer on a business and he read the lease and my initial offer and helped me understand everything I needed to know about business leases, insurance and all. He worked with me through the holidays and one thing that impressed me, he cared about me making the right decision on this purchase. I am so glad I found Andrew and he will always be my attorney.

Good attorney and one of the few who is flexible to work with clients on a budget with limited scope representation. Even the person being deposed remarked that Andrew was a good attorney. Personable, efficient and has flat rate billing. Takes pride in doing a good job for his client.

Andrew Cantor is the perfect matrimony between professionalism and knowledge. I truly cannot express how amazing this individual is. Mr. Cantor approached my legal situation with humility, prudence, tactfulness and poise. As a single mother, I was apprehensive to retain an attorney not knowing what to expect and not knowing if I could afford it. Mr. Cantor made me feel extremely comfortable with the process. He is fair and very straightforward. During my case, Mr. Cantor was accessible, attentive and engaged no matter how small or how big my concern was. When dealing with the other party, he was sharp and aggressive, which is exactly what I needed. His legal expertise is multi-​faceted and downright impressive. In the end, I felt confident, happy and empowered by the outcome of our case. He made me feel as though we were a team. Most of all, Mr. Cantor is the epitome of human. He genuinely cares for his clients, which in my opinion, makes him unique. I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone seeking legal representation. He is simply that good.

You know all those excellent lawyer jokes? None apply to Andrew S. Cantor.
I have worked with many attorneys throughout my life, and this is the only California practitioner of law I would recommend without hesitation to anyone in need of legal services.
I can 101% confirm all the good stuff the other strong reviews here state-​they are spot on.
Andrew is hands down my favorite attorney of all time.
Here is a list of 10 important items you get when you work with Andrew:
1) A GREAT PERSON-​a real live caring person that will go any mile to serve your interests ethically. This is a compassionate human being that lives to serve. He is like a family member.
2) A very sharp mind, with an incredible grasp of the law, and that at the speed. The guy is just incredibly efficient. He’s young-​but his experience base is astounding. His dad was a fine attorney. His brother is one of the preeminent tax attorneys in the country. Andrew has quite the pedigree.
3) No billable hours games-​Andrew is fair to a fault! He will not waste your time and money on things that do not produce cost effective results. If YOU try to waste your time and money with him-he’ll complain good naturedly. Seriously. Andrew is a professional’s professional.
4) Flexibilty. Some attorneys can only see things a certain way-​and will belabor this, (at your expense). Andrew is not married to his ideas-​he can listen to yours, to those of others. He will take the best of all and integrate everything to a synergy that gets the job done with the leverage of all intelligence garnered.
5) No ego-​no pretention-​no ‘holier than thou’ anything. Andrew works for you and only you. He knows what a client is, and he knows who’s boss.
6) Straight talk-​Andrew is clear and non effusive. He speaky English-​not legalese. He will make sure you understand everything. Never talks over your head.
7) Results-​Andrew delivers them. I have switched all of my legal services needs to him and could not be happier. I have recommended him to many others for all the foregoing reasons.
8) Cost effectiveness-​he gets jobs done at a fraction of what others have charged me in the past.
9) Responsive-​no three week wait nonsense. If Andrew can’t help you in real time-​he will tell you upfront. I have never had my calls returned so quickly, and so successfully, (ie: with the answers I need).
10) Humor-​Andrew is a funny guy, working with him is a real pleasure. Law can be dull, Andrew keeps it enjoyable-​even fun. This is more important than many realize. There are many ways to skin a legal cat. The human touch should never be underestimated. Andrew is a master at getting a job done-​and not making it an onerous event for everyone on both sides of an issue.
Call him-​and see for yourself.
In summary, I just wish we could put Andrew S. Cantor in an attorney copy machine and press «10,000 copies please». The legal world would be SUCH a better place! =)

Andrew is extremely Intelligent and knowledgeable in law. He actually cares about you as a person and tries to do his best to get you your result. He got a charge dropped where it would of affected my career. Overall, he is professional, intelligent and understanding of your situation. In the end, he gets the job done and that’s what really matters.

After going through what can only be categorized as a «messy» break up I found myself with a bit of a legal battle. You see property that was mine had been taken and registered by my ex in his name behind my back. Leaving him to think that he had somehow found a way to «take the money and run». I searched for a lawyer to help me prove my case and seek out restitution. After speaking with several bay area attorneys I found Andrew Cantor. He wasn’t a faceless attorney that takes your money and leaves you wondering what your paying for. He was with me every step of the way. He was diligent in helping me express my dispute, clear and concise about what the following steps where to go about getting what was rightfully mine. A well drafted demand letter had received a response but at the last moment my ex refused to comply. Mr. Cantor patiently listened and combed through my evidence to help me best set up for court. Throughout the five month ordeal he was consistently there to answer all my questions and address my concerns. I can happily say that I won my case and if not for the guidance and support of Mr. Cantor I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to have this victory. It’s truly great when you get the chance to work with someone that is genuinely in your corner and shows care. I hope to not need legal representation in the future but if I do I know who to call!

I highly recommend the Law Office of Andrew S. Cantor. Andrew helped me a lot and got me out of a very complicated situation that I found myself in. I needed a good, smart person to get help from, and Andrew offered me the most BEST LEGAL HELP I COULD ASK FOR.
After seeking help from 2 other lawyers, Andrew S. Cantor was the one who understood my situation the best, and he was smart enough to give me the most efficient solution and protect me in the way I needed. A smart, attentive strategist, he made sure to take the best care of me as a client and I felt I can count on him.
With other lawyers I have worked with in the past, I felt like I didn’t get 100% protection and proper guidance, but with Andrew I felt comfortable from day one. Don’t get me wrong — I have met some good lawyers, but this one is excellent! I HIGHLY recommend Andrew S. Cantor if you are in any need of getting out of a problem you got in to and need a smart, experienced attorney to deal with, or if you need one to defend you in the best way. This is the person you are looking for.
This lawyer has a combination of qualities that are necessary in a person that will bring the best outcome for you in legal complex situations. At least that is what happened with me, and why I felt compelled to write this review. Thanks Andrew!

Andrew S. Cantor is an amazing lawyer
I couldn’t find any help and I found him day before hearing I knew it could be very late.
But Andrew agreed to help me.
I had a hard situation
He helped me and went to me to the court
He also showed a nice support.
Everything went great.
Happy that I found him.
His price is also totally adorable.
I recommend him to my friends in case they will need help.

As an attorney myself, I can comfortably say that Mr. Cantor has all of the qualities of an outstanding litigator. He knows when and how to fight legal battles. I highly recommend him. His knowledge of the law, coupled with his unique ability to strategize effectively, makes him an ideal choice for clients in need of representation.
I have worked both against and with Mr. Cantor. As an opposing counsel in a complex civil matter, he was sharp, tough and professional. He knew the merits of the case well and advocated for his client very well. He was an effective negotiator, and I found him to be uniquely effective at spotting issues in the case that most people could not see. Having worked against many different types of litigators, I can assure you that Mr. Cantor’s style is assertive but at the same time not alienating in such a way that would galvanize the other side.
In fact, after working against each other, I sought his advice on several cases that I was working on when I wanted a second opinion. As a colleague, he is very smart, thorough and strategic. He is currently working on my behalf doing law and motion work for an intricate case that I am handling. His understanding of intricate legal concepts is impressive to say the very least, and I am grateful to have his counsel.

I was in a costly vehicle accident which was my fault and my insurance company (one of the major ones) was slow in accepting my claim. They were so slow that after a few weeks I felt they would try to get out of paying me by finding some sort of legal loophole to do so. Sort of a David vs Goliath situation and I knew I needed some legal help to level the playing field a bit. So I found Andrew on Unilocal and I am glad I did.
Andrew has prior experience dealing with insurance companies and filed demand letters two different times with my insurance company to get them to speed things up. Also, when the insurance company wanted to do an in-​person interview with me, Andrew coached me on it in advance and we had the interview at his office with him present to ensure it went well and the insurance company did not try to get me to say something that was not in my favor. End result was the insurance company promptly paid up. Andrew sent the subtle message that I was not to be trifled with, and if the insurance company had not paid the claim promptly, litigation would have followed.
Besides getting me paid, other positives about Andrew are:
(*) He is very intelligent, articulate, and professional
(*) He was very responsive and stayed on top of things closely, contacting the insurance company several times on my behalf and staying in close contact with me
(*) His rates were more than fair, given the «return on investment».
I highly recommend Andrew for your legal needs!

I had been unsuccessfully trying for six years to get someone to repay a debt. After every lawyer I met with told me it wasn’t worth the effort, I found Attorney Cantor. He immediately put me at ease and said I had every right to move forward with this issue. He never judged me, or communicated in any way but positive and professional. He told me every step he was taking, emailing me copies of all correspondence. I was never out of the loop, and when I made suggestions, he listened thoughtfully and either used them or carefully explained what his ideas were. He always made me feel like we were in this together. His negotiations with the other party and I’m sure at times with me were spot on. I am amazed at his grasp of people, how he reads them and knows exactly how to speak or write to them in order to successfully get the desired results. I am simply a regular person who feels very out of her depth in the legal system. While the debt was a lot of money to me, I’m sure in the real business world, it seemed inconsequential. Not to Andrew. He understood the importance to me and he approached it with the same professionalism another lawyer might save for the «big» clients. How rare in this time of self-​serving professionals was it to find a man who also fights the cause for the everyday person.

I am the founder and owner of Golden Gate Organics in Oakland, Ca and I retained Andrew as my corporate attorney to represent and assist me during a partnership dispute.
I cannot begin to tell you how professional, knowledgeable, and helpful he was in resolving my problem well beyond my expectations. Not only was he able to resolve our dispute overwhelmingly in my favor but it has now been a few weeks since everything has been resolved and I just received a follow up email from him asking how everything was going.
I am now using Andrew as our corporate attorney for any and all matters in the future. He is a straightforward guy, a true professional, and very pleasant to work with.
You can’t go wrong with him as your lawyer and I HIGHLY recommend him.

This is my first experience requiring a lawyer and I’m glad I was able to find Andrew on Unilocal.Based on his positive reviews, Andrew did not disappoint and he was able to help me get a prorated refund after a couple of months of trying to resolve an early termination agreement for a contract of services.
Andrew is knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and courteous. He was able to explain things in common English and provide me my legal options. His rates are reasonable and I’m satisfied with the results in finally getting my legal claim settled.
I’m grateful for Andrew’s time and assistance and I highly recommend working with him!

I was looking for a lawyer when a friend recommended I speak with Mr. Cantor. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable and to the point. He handled my case without a glitch. I couldn’t be happier. He really exceeded my expectations and got me way more than I could have hoped for. Thank you!

Andrew Cantor is awesome! He helped me win a case against one of my neighbors. I was so upset about the whole thing, but Andrew only cared about the facts and once we got down to business it became clear I was in the right and Andrew assured me that we were going to win. We won. Andrew prices out his time fairly and I did not feel like I got taken for a ride. Andrew also won a case for a friend of mine against State Farm Insurance. He’s relentless! A really nice person too that is very easy to work with.

Considering some of the questionable choices I have made thus far in life I am surprised it has taken me this long to need a lawyer. I believe the term «you get what you pay for» rings true in this case. I bought Andrew’s legal services and although he didn’t come cheap, I no longer have anything on my record that could prevent me from getting hired somewhere. I feel like OJ Simpson– he is that good.
Seriously, if you need to hire a lawyer look no further. Andrew is down to earth, courteous, professional, and a bad-​ass. He will get you the results you are looking for.

I found Mr. Cantor online and I must say I couldn’t have had a better experience (minus the initial reason I was seeing a lawyer in the first place).
This was my first time working with an attorney, I had no clue what to expect and was very anxious about it. He did a great job explaining everything to me in a very friendly, professional, non-​patronizing manner, and overall helped make the whole experience less scary.
It should also be noted how incredibly accessible he was and willing to talk at any hour of the day, whether I had a legitimate question or just needed some reassurance. Oh, not to mention, I was very pleased with the end results.
If another situation should arise for myself or anyone I know to need legal representation, I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Mr. Cantor again.

I can’t speak to his deep knowledge of law, but in the short consultation I had with him, he struck me as intelligent, personable, kind, and knowledgeable enough to answer my questions.
Plus he has a cat.
