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. Unauthorized payment by Mosaic for unfinished solar panel work with false initials.
- A: You should send a Consumer Legal Remedies Act letter providing 30 days notice to repair or replace the unfinished work or refund your money. If they fail to do so within 30 days, then you can sue them under the CLRA and only you will have the right to attorney's fees. You may want to have an attorney draft the letter for you, so they take it more seriously.
- Q. Do I have the right to request a copy of my workplace investigation report after being fired?
- A: You can certainly request the workplace investigation report, but the employer may not provide it short of formal legal discovery.
Employers will often refuse to produce them and assert that such investigations were conducted by an attorney and are protected from disclosure by the attorney client privilege. However, depending on the facts, you may be able to compel the employer to provide it.
- Q. Do I have a strong case for workplace retaliation or constructive discharge, and will resigning affect my workers’ comp benefits or any legal claims?
- A: In addition to the relatively weak remedy for retaliation under Labor Code 132(a) for retaliation through worker's compensation, you may have a claim for disability discrimination given your injuries.
You should make sure to document in writing you complaints and the failure of HR to take action to resolve them. If you resign, you may have claim for constructive termination, which means you have to prove that no reasonable employee, who wanted to work would continue to work under those circumstances. I would urge you to speak with an employment attorney before resigning to make sure you have documented your claim as well as you can.
