A Trusted Name In Criminal Defense
O’Brien Hatfield, PA is a criminal defense law firm that focuses on nationwide federal criminal defense and statewide criminal defense and criminal appeals.
Attorney Mark J. O’Brien is the firm’s founder and managing partner. He handles federal criminal cases in federal criminal courts statewide and in federal criminal courts throughout the United States. Formerly a Miami prosecutor in the 1990’s, Mark is now widely lauded by federal judges and federal prosecutors as one of the best federal defense attorneys in the country. Mark is so in demand that his office is often an airplane with a WiFi connection. Despite reaching such great heights, Mark still treats each case with the same enthusiasm and energy as he did during his very first (even though he has practiced law for over twenty-five years). In addition to his experience and training, Mr. O’Brien has built a full Federal Criminal Defense Team to assist him in defending his clients. Mr. O’Brien believes in hiring the best people to help him do his job. Similar to his role as a former prosecutor, Mr. O’Brien hired people who used to work in various federal law enforcement capacities. It is important to stay one step ahead of the other side. The only true way to accomplish this goal is to have done what the other side is going to do. As a result, Mr. O’Brien supplements his experience and training with others who have very specific sets of skills. This includes a former Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) Federal Special Agent, a former Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Investigation Division Federal Special Agent, a former United States Probation Officer, and a former state law enforcement detective. Together, these four individuals have over 100 plus (over 25 years each) combined years’ experience in federal and state criminal courts throughout the country. Once the above individuals are added to his 25 years of prosecutorial and federal criminal defense experience, Mr. O’Brien’s team has well over a 125 combined years of federal and state criminal court experience to help you through this precarious time in your life.
Attorney Victoria E. Hatfield is an equity partner who defends state court and county court criminal cases. Victoria has achieved not guilty verdicts and won motions to dismiss and motions to suppress in just about every area of the state. If you need the very best, Victoria will stand by your side. She is a 5-6 pit bull in a skirt and high heels. Prosecutors hate to see her coming, but they love to watch her leave. Sadly, it is usually with yet another victory notch on her luxury belt.
Olivia M. Goodman is a partner. Olivia is in charge of the firm’s criminal appellate division. She has filed over a hundred criminal appeals, achieving success after success for all of her satisfied clients. She doesn’t just practice law; she involves her clients in the process. If you give her a trial transcript, WestLaw, and a few days in front of her computer, Olivia is where guilty verdicts go to die. You don’t believe us? Please review our appellate results. They read like a graveyard of overturned convictions.
