“I love taking something cognitive - like systems - and pulling it apart to make it more efficient, and that’s what law is all about. You have to figure out how to best represent your client within the framework of the legal system and rules.” - Jeff Kahane, Kahane Law Office, founder and managing partner
nside Kahane Law Office, there are no false airs – nothing pretentious – just ordinary people who have chosen a career in the legal field and take great pride in helping other ordinary people build or rebuild a better life. Ten years ago, Jeff Kahane started with a paralegal, a small rented space and 30 files a month. Over the past decade, he has grown the firm with a mix of precision and passion. Kahane’s goals are simple: to provide the best legal guidance possible while cultivating an environment that makes clients feel welcome and at ease. “You have to know the ‘rules’ and case law to understand the framework you’re operating within. I’m always amazed at the number of lawyers who don’t know the rules, so when someone comes along and tells you what the rules are – that you’re not aware of – you’ve just lost,” he adds. Not surprisingly, the majority of Kahane’s business is referral-driven and today, the thriving firm has a staff of 22 people. They have a loyal following among social media and post a new video on ‘YouTube’ every week. At last count, they had in excess of 16,000 ‘YouTube’ followers.
