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.

- Q. Is it legal to tip from my food sales with busboys and hostess’s? They only help with drinks and busing tables.
- A: Yes, hosts and bussers can share in the tip pool as long as they are in the chain of service, which includes seating customers, cleaning tables, delivering drinks and preparing food, provided the percentages are reasonable. Managers, owners and supervisors are not allowed to participate in the tip pool.
- Q. My employer consistently pays us late and our payroll checks BOUNCE every paycheck. I was just suspended for picking up
- A: Since you were subjected to discipline, a suspension, for picking your paycheck on payday, you likely have a claim for illegal retaliation for seeking your timely payment of your wages. Your employer is not allowed to delay payment based upon case flow.
Since your employer is consistently late in paying and paychecks are bouncing regularly, you should seriously consider finding another employer. Failure to timely pay employees is often a strong indication that the business is having financial problems. Further, those financial problems make it less likely that you could recover money on your claims. You should consider filing a complaint with the Labor Commissioner for the late payments/bounced ...

- Q. What action does a employer take when a male employee keeps referring to a female as a b*ich?
- A: Keep informing HR in writing each time it happens.
Sexual harassment has to be either severe or persuasive enough to change the terms and conditions of your employment. A single inappropriate touching likely meets that standard. One or two offense comments may not be enough depending on the factual context. Each additional comment gets you more likely to meet that standard.
If the offensive comments continue and HR fails to take action, you should consider informing higher management in writing and attach copies of your prior unanswered complaints.
Keep copies of all communications.
If the employer ultimately does nothing, you may have a legal claim for sexual harassment against the ... Read More
