I recently lost my job as a Physician Assistant and needed advice regarding the terms of a release and severance benefit, as I felt they were unreasonable. Upon meeting Kane, I was impressed with how pleasant, down-to-earth and insightful he was. He patiently listened to my concerns without making me feel inferior. Equally as important, he showed genuine interest in my situation and a desire to fight for every penny that I deserved. I decided to retain him to correspond with my employer. Kane was diligent and thorough in his work while representing me. He communicated with me regularly via phone and e-mail and graciously addressed my questions/concerns -- even after we established that legal action would not be necessary. On a final note, kudos to the firm's administrator, Karen. She was attentive and personable and helped to make this difficult time of losing my job as painless and stress-free as possible.
I engaged Kane after 4 years of going around and around with another lawyer. Kane was aggressive with my case, and wrapped it up in my favor within 5 months.
He answered all my questions in a timely manner, and explained the various consequences when I had choices to make. He is easy to talk to, and makes himself available. If I need services again, I will go back to him immediately.
