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.

Unpaid Models Why I Do This?
- Q. Can a post-Chapter 7 Labor Commissioner award lien be discharged in bankruptcy?
- A: The answer depends on whether the Labor Commissioner award was based or pre-Petition or post-Petition conduct. If the award was based on pre-Petition conduct, the underlying claim should have been listed in the bankruptcy. If the award was based on pre-Petition conduct and not listed in the bankruptcy, you may need to petition the bankruptcy court to re-open your bankruptcy and consider whether to discharge the claim.
Conversely, if the Labor Commissioner had notice of the bankruptcy and the claim was based on pre-Petition conduct, it may be a violation of the automatic stay. You should speak with knowledgeable bankruptcy counsel.
- Q. Defending against ex-employee's legal demand after NDA breach and termination.
- A: I agree with Mr. Trust's answer. I would add that you if suspect that the former employee is going make a claim, you should notify your general liability insurance carrier. Finally, you should consider having a lawyer send a letter threatening to sue the former employee for theft of trade secrets, but you should not communicate that directly to the lawyer. Anything you say or write can be used against you, so best to have a lawyer communicate on your behalf.
- Q. Am I obligated to sign an attestation for data deletion and return nonprofit property after whistleblowing?
- A: As an initial matter, since you were terminated more than 2 years ago based on what you describe as whistleblowing and hostile work environment, you really should contact an employment attorney before your claims are barred by the passage of time. Whistleblower claims have 3 year statute of limitations in California. Similarly, discrimination claims require a right to sue letter be obtained within 3 years and then you have 1 additional year to file suit.
You are not required to sign an attestation that you deleted all materials, if you did not agree to that in writing during your employment. You may consider asking your former employer to compensate you for the time involved at a reasonable ... Read More
