Kunal Mirchandani
I am Kunal A. Mirchandani, the Principal Attorney and President at Klein Law Group. I am a dedicated litigator, committed to advocating for my clients both in and out of the courtroom. After earning my law degree from Case Western Reserve School of Law, I have devoted my career to litigating cases. I represent both individuals and corporations, always with an eye on achieving the most favorable outcomes for my clients.
Throughout my career, I have served as lead counsel in numerous trials and appellate cases. My arguments in appellate courts have established precedents that are currently adhered to by courts across Florida. I am licensed to practice in Florida and admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. My client base is diverse, including nationally recognized financial institutions, local businesses, and individuals. I am proud to hold an AV rating from Martindale Hubbell, which is the highest recognition awarded by peers for ethical standards and professional ability.
I come from a richly diverse background, with a mother from Chile and a father from India, though I was born in France. In my leisure time, I enjoy surfing, auto racing, and engaging in DIY home projects.
My educational background includes a J.D. from Case Western Reserve School of Law in Cleveland, Ohio, obtained in 2010, and a B.A. in English from the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, Florida, completed in 2007. I am admitted to the Florida Bar and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
Among my accolades, I have received the Martindale Hubbell AV Preeminent Rating. Notable cases include In re Enright, where I secured $77,305.23 in punitive damages for creditor misconduct, and Murray v. HSBC Bank USA, which clarified the enforcement of negotiable instruments against real estate. I have also authored "What happens in bankruptcy – A legal guide," providing insights into navigating bankruptcy proceedings.

- Q. Should I send the rest of the video evidence of medical negligence for potential settlement at Broward General Hospital in Florida?
- A: If you're considering a potential settlement and the hospital has asked for the remaining video footage, whether to send it depends on several strategic factors. Generally, when pursuing a medical negligence claim—especially one involving serious injury and emotional distress like yours—it's important to carefully control the timing and extent of what evidence is disclosed.
Sending the rest of the video may help your case if the footage clearly supports your claims of negligence, unprofessional conduct, or harm suffered. It could increase pressure on the hospital to settle, especially if it reveals a pattern of reckless or abusive care. However, once disclosed, you can’t take ... Read More
- Q. Seeking custody of my stepson, currently living with me; mother in unsafe situation.
- A: In Florida, as a stepparent, you currently have no automatic custody rights to your stepson, even though he has lived with you since March 2023. However, there are legal paths to formalize your role. The most permanent option is stepparent adoption, which would grant you full parental rights. Since the biological father is deceased, you’d only need to address the mother’s rights, which can be terminated if she is found unfit or has abandoned the child.
A second option is legal guardianship, which allows you to make important decisions for your stepson (schooling, medical care) without terminating the mother’s parental rights. You can also consider a court-approved parenting plan or visitation ... Read More
- Q. Considerations before signing over house share in Florida
- A: Before signing over your share of the house, it's important to understand the full legal and financial impact. Even if you’re not on the mortgage, being listed on the deed means you have a legal ownership interest—and in Florida, you likely also have a marital interest in the property, especially if it was purchased during the marriage.
Florida is an equitable distribution state, meaning that in the event of a divorce, assets acquired during the marriage are divided fairly, not necessarily equally. Signing over your half now—without legal advice—could be seen as giving up both your ownership and marital rights, potentially leaving you with no claim to the home or its equity in ... Read More
