- Based in the firm’s New York office, Olivia participates in every stage of litigation as an asbestos attorney but focuses on motions and appellate practice
- She utilizes her skills in legal research and writing to strategize innovative ways to advocate and obtain successful results for her clients. “Each client has a different story and set of circumstances that requires not only individualized attention to detail, but empathy and respect as well,” Olivia said. “Clients can expect all of this from me as we work together to secure the justice they deserve.” Before joining Simmons Hanly Conroy, Olivia served as a Senior Appellate Court Attorney for the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Judicial Department in Brooklyn, New York
- The Second Department hears appeals from all trial courts across 10 counties in lower New York State
- As a Senior Appellate Court Attorney, Olivia assisted the Justices of the Court by reviewing records for cases on appeal, conducting exhaustive research on the relevant laws, and issuing recommendations as to how cases should be resolved

- She also worked as a legal intern at the Urban Justice Center’s Domestic Violence Project and the Legal Aid Society’s Office for the Aging
- Olivia’s focus on helping others was cultivated by her mother’s example, who founded Family-to-Family, a non-profit hunger-relief organization, for which Olivia volunteers in her spare time. “My decision to become an attorney stems from my experience growing up in a family that prioritized helping others,” she said. “Watching my mother engage in such important work inspired me to devote my own career to making a meaningful difference in others’ lives
- I went to law school in order to learn how to use the law as a tool to most effectively carry out that goal.” Olivia currently lives in New York City with her husband and their chocolate lab, Kona
