Scott Evan Kandell

Born and raised in South Florida, Scott is one of the founders of Kandell, Kandell & Petrie, P.A.  As the firm’s managing partner, Scott has directed its evolution from a small and successful personal injury law practice into a prominent property insurance coverage firm with a diverse clientele. Despite its growth, KKP maintains the same degree of excellence, professionalism, and personalized service that it was founded upon throughout all its practice areas.

Mr. Kandell has diversified his own practice substantially in the past two decades, representing individuals, restaurants, real estate entities, and corporations big and small across the state. He has directed multimillion-dollar tort claims to successful resolution and guided catastrophic commercial property losses to favorable outcomes with damages in excess of $25 million.

In 2014 and 2015, he was recognized as a top-rated personal-injury law Super Lawyer in the state of Florida.   In addition to his long-standing expertise in the areas of personal injury law, wrongful death, premises liability, automobile negligence, products liability, and negligent security, Scott currently focuses his primary practice on insurance law, insurance coverage disputes, first party insurance claims and denials, commercial property insurance claims, hurricane and windstorm claims, water loss and statutory bad faith claims. He also handles real estate transactions and disputes, complex commercial litigation, and matters relating to condominium law.

Although the firm's main office is in Miami-Dade County, KKP represents clients all over the State of Florida, with claims pending in over 15 counties.  In recent years, the firm has dedicated its efforts to assisting victims of Hurricanes Matthew, Irma, and Michael in recovering insurance proceeds in order to help policyholders rebuild their homes, businesses and lives affected by the storm.
