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. Are employers allowed to take PTO when using California Sick hours.
- A: If you have sick leave accumulated, the employer should only be deducting from your sick leave if you are out sick. If you have no sick leave accumulated or run out, then you can draw on your accumulated PTO. Your employer can not require you to use PTO for sick, when you have accumulated sick leave to use.
- Q. Labor law questions. I Got Served a notice for missed payments and missed overtime. But I'm the new owner as of 2 years
- A: Check your agreement with the prior owner, the prior owner should be required to defend and indemnify you for claims that arose prior to the purchase.
If purchased the assets only and not the business, you may have a defense there.
Further, you will need to hire a lawyer to defend you as well as potentially file a claim for indemnity against the prior owner.
