Biography

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.

Legal Answers
Q. Can my job penalize me for missing work due to ER directives without enough sick time?
A: No. Your employer risks liability for disability discrimination if it takes an adverse employment action against you, when you have a doctor's note excusing your absence. Accrued paid sick leave is not a requirement for a protected medical leave.
Q. Is my employer's reduction of on-call hours a correct interpretation of California labor laws?
A: It sounds like your employer is trying to avoid liability for overtime (generally after 8 hours per day) and double time (generally after 12 hours per day), which it has ever right to do on a prospective basis. You do not have the right to require your employer to give you 100 hours of work per week.
Q. Did not receive promised payment for attending virtual meeting in Washington.
A: File a free online complaint with the Department of Labor and Industries for non-payment of wages at:

https://secure.lni.wa.gov/wagecomplaint/#/

If your employer retaliates against you for filing the complaint, you could end up with a larger retaliation claim against your employer.
