Brad S Kane
Kane Law Firm understands your problem is more than a legal transaction
Brad S. Kane has practiced law for more than twenty years in California, Washington, and Alaska. After a decade-long career in “Big Law,” in 2001 Mr. Kane started the Kane Law Firm, a Los Angeles-based practice. Mr. Kane takes a unique, humanistic approach with clients, always keeping the client engaged in their case and counseling clients toward fair and reasonable solutions to often emotional and complex problems.
The Kane Law Firm follows Mr. Kane’s interdisciplinary approach to law and avoids the often myopic “over-specialization” or one-sided thinking caused by only representing one side to a particular kind of dispute. For example, Mr. Kane regularly counsels and represents small and medium sized employers on the handling of employee disputes, while also representing aggrieved employees with serious claims against their own employers.
As a result, Mr. Kane is constantly searching for outside the box solutions to litigation and negotiations in areas spanning employment law, entertainment, insurance coverage, as well as business and corporation litigation. In fact, Mr. Kane has a reputation amongst his associates and colleagues of “taking cases no one else would take” and turning them into gold.
Finally, Mr. Kane has an unshakable faith in our justice system derived from his experience clerking for Alaska Supreme Court Chief Justice Jay A. Rabinowitz, his experience as a lawyer, and serving over 250 times as a Judge Pro Tem. To Mr. Kane, the judicial system holds a unique ability to shape a person’s world view and how people see themselves. Mr. Kane earned his J.D. from Hastings College of the Law and his B.A. in history from University of California Los Angeles.

Unpaid Models Why I Do This?
- Q. Can employer enforce signing an arbitration agreement after hiring?
- A: In California, an employer can legally terminate you for refusing to sign an arbitration agreement as a condition of continued employment. However, certain types of claims are not subject to arbitration as a matter of law, such Private Attorney General Act ("PAGA") claims.
- Q. Guidance on filing claim for unpaid IHSS provider wages for hours worked between June 16, 2023, and August 12, 2023.
- A: You can file a free online complaint with the Labor Commissioner. Instructions and an overview of the process are at the link below:
https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/howtofilewageclaim.htm
The Labor Commissioner can only recover wages for 3 years before the date you file your complaint. If file a complaint in Court, you can recover wages for 4 years before you file your complaint.
You should consider whether you received your payment for all hours worked, overtime after 10 hours per day under Wage Order 5 and the domestic worker's bill of rights, premium pay for failure to provide rest and/or meals breaks, wage statement penalties, and late payment penalties,
- Q. Is my wife's termination due to pregnancy a wrongful termination?
- A: If you can prove that at least part of the employer's motivation for terminating your wife was her pregnancy and/or request for pregnancy related accommodations, she has a claim for wrongful termination. If the CEO overrode HR recommendation not to terminate your wife, there is likely a strong case for wrongful termination. The strength of that case is likely part of the reason for the severance offer. Your wife should speak with a knowledgeable employment attorney to help her determine the strength of the case, how to negotiate the best possible settlement or whether it would be better to pursue the claims in court. Most employment attorneys provide free confidential consultations.
