Experience That Matters

place and she was very effective with her trials.

 

Because of  her trial skills and confidence in front of a

jury, GEICO Insurance Company hired her to be part of their team of in-house attorneys. Later, when a national casino operator needed a general counsel to handle their legal problems and open a brand new general counsel’s office, they chose Ms. Olivier as their first in-house counsel and as their first-ever female attorney nationwide.
