Keith J. Puya brings 38 years of distinguished legal experience to his role as a mediator with Upchurch Watson White & Max Mediation Group. Born in Miami, Florida, Keith has built a career founded on excellence in litigation, particularly within the realm of healthcare law. He is widely recognized for his expertise in resolving complex and high-stakes disputes, a skillset he now applies to the art of mediation.
Over the course of his career, Keith has been deeply involved in defending healthcare professionals across a wide spectrum, including physicians, nurses, dentists, and mental health counselors. He has also represented healthcare professionals in administrative actions initiated by the Agency for Healthcare Administration and the Department of Health. He also advocated for clients at well over 1,000 mediations as part of his law practice. His expertise spans medical negligence, catastrophic injury cases and high-profile trials, with more than 150 cases brought to jury verdict with extraordinary results.
A respected leader in his field, Keith rose to the position of managing partner at one South Florida law firm before establishing his own in 2013. His reputation for legal acumen has earned him numerous accolades, including selection as a Florida Super Lawyer for many years and an AV Preeminent 5.0/5.0 rating from Martindale-Hubbell for both ethical standards and professional ability.
As a mediator, Keith’s wealth of experience in healthcare disputes, his understanding of the complexities of legal and emotional dynamics in contentious cases, and his commitment to facilitating fair and effective resolutions make him a valuable addition to the Upchurch Watson White & Max team.
Outside of his professional life, Keith enjoys spending time with his wife, Mariann, and their four sons, along with tending to his garden and staying active through exercise.
