About Brad

My values are clients come first, my firm comes second, and money comes a distant third.  As a person who has survived discrimination and physical bullying, I know that it is often hard to stand up for yourself in unpleasant situations.  That is why we are here to help.

Review Brad Kane

Truly Fantastic.

Posted by

This review will be redone at a later point as there is simply so much going on that there is not enough time to provide a review that can come close to expressing how rare, wise, empathetic, professional, timely and kind both he and his assistant Chris. Truly rare. Type of individuals who restore your faith in people.

Diligent, No-nonsense Representation

Posted by

I hired Brad Kane and his team to help me with a relocation assistance claim under the Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance. My landlord rented an unpermitted structure to me and, a year later, was ordered by the city to evict me and pay relocation assistance. Instead, he chose to try to scare me out with threats of having sheriff's deputies escort me out with just three week's notice. If you're ever in this situation, do not expect it to be a slam dunk as there is no way to make a landlord actually pay. Landlord's may incur more penalties from the city for delaying, but it requires a lot of tactful pressure to make them pull the trigger. Without Brad Kane, Chris Cude and Gershom Benitez from the Kane Law Firm, I probably would have joined the ranks of so many renters who end up giving in to the harassment and loss of utilities by just moving out without the assistance they deserve. Kane Law extracted my relocation assistance and almost all of the rent I had paid over the last year. Admittedly, I'm the annoying type of client who wants more details than I probably need, but this didn't bother these gentlemen like it would bother most. They kept in constant contact with me from day one, updating me on every facet of the case and providing step-by-step instructions to be sure my temper didn't ruin my case. I couldn't be more satisfied. They definitely earned every dime and probably more than they were paid. Kane Law rolls up its sleeves and gets the job done.

Caring, considerate, and goes out of his way to help.

Mr. Kane was an absolute professional. He took the time to listen to my situation, and offer advice. He truly cares about the people that he helps, and it shows in how he speaks to you and treats you. If your looking for someone that sees you and the struggle that your going through and not just dollar signs then he is definitely your man. This was the most pleasant experience I have ever had with a lawyer, or any professional for that matter. I would recommend him to any and everybody that needs help through a legal struggle.

Excellent experience

Posted by

I was in a bad situation with my employer and needed help. Brad went out of his way to get back to me on a Friday night, patiently listening to my predicament and gave me very intelligent feedback that put me at ease and which I was able to implement successfully. I wouldn't hesitate to use his services or recommend him.
