About Christina Battaglia
Christina Battaglia Xenakis earned her J.D. from Stetson University College of Law in 2000. She left law school armed with a practical legal education and entered a profession undergoing change. The early years after graduation coincided with dramatic shifts in technology and client expectations, and she adapted her practice as those shifts arrived.
Over the past two decades she has built steady legal experience. That span—more than 25 years—has included courtroom appearances, client counseling and transactional work. She has handled matters that required both litigation skills and careful negotiation. Years in practice have given her a familiarity with procedural detail and an ability to shape legal strategies that respond to practical constraints.
Colleagues describe her as methodical in preparing a case and direct in dealings with opposing counsel. She tends to approach disputes by breaking them into manageable steps. That approach helps clients understand choices and trade-offs. It also frames legal questions in ordinary terms rather than abstract doctrine.
Her training at Stetson left an imprint on the way she handles client work. The curriculum emphasized applied skills and practice-ready training. Those elements are visible in her work: she prioritizes drafting clear documents, preparing witnesses carefully and keeping discovery focused. For many clients, that translates into efficient handling of everyday legal problems and an emphasis on predictable outcomes where possible.
Beyond casework, she has kept current through continuing legal education and by following shifts in the law that affect her clients. She has relied on professional networks to test strategies and to bring outside perspectives to complex matters. That network has helped when matters required expertise outside her day-to-day practice.
In private practice, she aims to provide practical counsel and steady representation. Her work is built on long-term problem solving rather than quick fixes. As of 2026 she maintains an active practice that concentrates on counseling clients and resolving disputes through negotiation and, when necessary, litigation.
