Jose Canto is a great lawyer. I would highly recommend him. With out MVLS ( Maryland Volunteer Legal Services) I would not have found him. He always assured me that everything was going to be okay and not to worry. He was right. He met with me when ever needed. We went over the case before the trail date. Mr. Canto went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and won my case.
Mr. Canto won my worker's compensation case. My case was ongoing for a few years and my union rep did not know how to handle my case. My worker's compensation request was denied several times. The whole process was frustrating and traumatizing because no one could give me a straight answer on what I needed to do. I was very close to giving up, but I needed to support my family financially. Mr. Canto was able to figure out all the necessary paperwork and supporting documents and he navigated through the appeals process. Mr. Canto took the time to prepare me for the hearing and he was my main support. He answered the questions I didn't understand and made sure my story was heard. Mr. Canto is very knowledgeable, experienced, and hardworking. He listened to what I needed and helped me when no one else would take my case. Without him, I could not have won my case. I am very grateful for all his help.
Personally Mr. Canto was a blessing for me and my beloved son. Being a single Mom can describe u as "a single in the battle" no one in the word can heal the impotence off seing many judges overwhelmed by fake tears and lies. I told Mr. Canto it has been a difficult case. He told me we will be fine. He was devoted to my case. He handle my case poffessionaly. Sharp defense. Brilliant effort on findings. Excellent representation. He was protective. So well prepared. Impeccable and tremendous job. He was convincing always accurate and clever. His effort was above and beyond of what I expected to receive. From the bottom of my heart thanks To the MVLS thanks to God Gracias Thanks Merci Beacoup Mr. Jose. there were many years of frustation. Even a whole life will not thanks what u have done. .
Mr. Canto was exactly the kind of lawyer I needed on my side of the table. Calm, poised, quietly defensive, he held to exactly what I asked of him during successful divorce proceedings. Any time I contacted him, he responded in a timely fashion and did not quit until my question was answered or I had a needed document in hand. Mr. Canto takes representing his clients seriously. I am forever grateful to the MVLS for putting me in contact with him.
Mr. Canto was and amazing attorney, He kept me informed at all times and can to me so that I did not have to travel so far. I work late hours and there where times when I had to call him at 10pm and he always answered my call. I would recommend his to everyone.
