About Olivia
Olivia Goodman is an attorney practicing in Florida. She trained at the University of Florida Levin College of Law after completing undergraduate studies at the University of Maryland, College Park, where she earned a B.S. in Family Science. Her education combined a social-science background with legal training, giving her a practical sense of how law and family dynamics intersect.
After law school, Goodman took the steps necessary to practice in Florida. She joined O Brien Hatfield, PA, where she has built her day-to-day practice. At the firm she handles client matters, appears in state forums when necessary and prepares the written work that underlies litigation and transactional work. Colleagues describe her as methodical in courtroom preparation and clear in written advocacy.
Goodman’s academic background in Family Science informs how she approaches client intake and case strategy. She tends to weigh both legal rules and human context when evaluating options. That background also shapes the questions she asks at the outset of a matter, helping to identify practical solutions as well as legal ones.
Her work at O Brien Hatfield, PA has involved files that require both negotiation and formal pleading. She spends time drafting motions, negotiating resolutions, and advising clients on procedural steps. In the office she often balances fast-moving deadlines with tasks that require careful review of records and documents. She has continued to deepen her practice through routine casework and the firm’s caseload.
Outside of day-to-day files, Goodman maintains ties to the Florida legal community. She has been listed as a member of a professional association since 2020. That involvement gives her a regular connection to continuing education and peer discussion, which she uses to stay current on evolving state rules and practice trends.
Goodman’s work is rooted in steady court preparation and client counseling. She remains based in Florida and practices at O Brien Hatfield, PA. Her current practice concentrates on legal matters arising in Florida through her role at the firm.
