Brad S Kane
Kane Law Firm
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. Non employees
- A: Your employer can fire you if you refuse to train the other employees, even if they are not on the books. You can report your employer to the Labor Commissioner for the illegal employment practices. While your employer cannot legally retaliate against you for making the report, you will need to be prepared to look for another job and look for a lawyer to assist you if your employer does retaliate.
- Q. Job title changed now we are trying to force me to change back
- A: Assuming you are an at will employee, your employer can change your job duties at anytime on a going forward basis. Hiring an "off the books" employee is illegal and may give that employee may claims for labor code violations against the owner.
- Q. Is HR able to make me work 12 hours without a second lunch if there isn't coverage for it at a retail location in CA
- A: Your employer can require you to work during your meal break, but if you are an hourly/nonexempt employee the employer must pay you one hour of premium pay.
