Noemi Puntier is a fierce advocate and tenacious in the courtroom. The founder of Puntier Law Firm, Noemi faced many roadblocks to becoming an attorney. But with the right mentor, she came to see her youth in the Bronx, gender, and culture as superpowers on the path to becoming the first in her family to attend law school. She loves being a lawyer and promised to be a voice for the voiceless.
