About Kristina
Kristina Puente began her academic journey in Florida. She earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Florida in 2010 and completed her Juris Doctor at Florida State University College of Law in 2013. Those years in Gainesville and Tallahassee shaped her early approach to legal work and introduced her to the practical side of law school clinics and courtroom observation.
After law school, Puente moved into practice in Florida. She has built a career grounded in the state where she studied. Her resume shows steady progression from a new lawyer learning courtroom procedures to an attorney comfortable handling client matters and courtroom deadlines. Colleagues describe her as pragmatic. She favors clear explanations and direct preparation over legalese.
Puente’s day-to-day work has involved both client counseling and litigation preparation. She spends time drafting pleadings, conducting research, and preparing witnesses. She is attentive to procedural detail and keeps clients informed about case developments. Her courtroom time has given her practical experience with hearings and motion practice, where timing and document organization matter as much as legal argument.
Outside of litigation, Puente pursues continuing legal education to stay current on changes to Florida law. She regularly reviews state court opinions and statutory updates that affect her clients. Her legal method is deliberate. She breaks complex problems into smaller tasks and maps out step-by-step responses. That approach helps clients understand options and likely timelines.
Colleagues say Puente is methodical in client communications. She writes clear memos and prepares litigation checklists. Those habits matter when discovery deadlines build and motions must be filed. She also participates in team strategy sessions at her firm, offering practical assessments of risk and cost. Her work style is straightforward: identify the legal issues, prioritize tasks, and move cases forward efficiently.
Today Puente practices at Haber Law in Florida. She works from the firm’s offices handling matters on behalf of individuals and organizations in the state. Her current practice concentrates on representing clients in Florida from Haber Law.
