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 LAPD enforce its 5-year employment contract that recruits sign upon hire?
- A: The In re Acknowledgement Cases, 239 Cal. App. 4d 1498 (2015) establish that the City of Los Angeles can only seek reimbursement of the Statutorily Mandated Basic "POST" Training.
- Q. Can my employer mandate that I miss a day of work to be fitted for an N95 respirator?
- A: Yes. However, since the N95 respirator fitting is required for your work, you are still entitled to compensation for your time. Note: you are normally not entitled to compensation for the travel time from your home to your first place of employment or from your last place of employment to your home.
- Q. Does my company have to pay me out for the entire school year if I quit during summer?
- A: If you took all steps needed to earn your pay through August, then you should be entitled to that pay whether or not you remain employed. Nevertheless, you should have an attorney analyze your contract. Most provide free consultations.
