O’Brien Hatfield, P.A. 511 West Bay Street, Tampa, FL 33606

"Posting from a friend to: Olivia Goodman, Esq. O'Brien Hatfield, P.A. Dear Ms. Goodman, I personally owe you a great debt of thankfulness, for let me ask you to try to imagine where I'd now be without you? That being said, mere language alone is inadequate to voice my total gratefulness and appreciation. Nevertheless, I'll try my best. Right away, your initial brief in my appeal to the First DCA, simply put, is just masterful. Thinking back to my first impressions of you as a skillful legal mind, I must say that initially I may have slightly underestimated just how brilliant your capabilities actually are. In my case, you have taken a very muddled wrongful prosecution and case history involving one of the most boring and mundane subjects, that of white collar financial crime, and yet conveyed subtle nuances of complicated case law, precedent, and my personal story, into understandable prose unfolding through a fascinating narrative smartly told. That takes some special talent. You write so effortlessly and in an elegant style that all can comprehend. Each legal argument is presented with finesse and flair, which allows the reader to easily grasp otherwise abstruse facts, while at the same time, being riveted as to what bold, undeniable point may come flying off the page next. Most importantly, I believe profoundly that you advocated for this client with unparalleled, heartfelt compassion and earnest concern. Obviously a great listener and speaker, your comfort with communication compliments those genuine altruistic qualities. It's always such a pleasure to engage in discourse on a legal call with you. I would be remiss if I did not here also mention that you have the most ablest and pleasant legal assistant in Kiersten Richter that I have ever known, or known of. Ms. Richter is keenly receptive with an intensely sensitive and intuitive temperament. As a team, you are at the apex of your profession, and my true angels in the court. I rest much easier knowing that you are there for me. Thank you so much. Best, Ron Clark Ball"

"The entire staff over the years has been so helpful. I first met Mark in 2009, he was my court appointed attorney. He put more energy into my case than I could believe. My criminal history and actual guilt of the becoming a hinderance in the end. After receiving 300 months Mark said if I ever make it back into court he will represent me. True to his word in 2020 my appeal finally got granted. I contacted Mark and he assured me they have everything taken care of going forward. Through his representation I then received 168 months. Leaving me with one year to complete, he said get ahold of me when it’s time to file for early term on your 3 years of supervision. True to his word him and staff were here for me again and my supervision was terminated a year early. Hire a firm that treats you like family!"

"Man Mark saved me big time thanks for everything these guys were professional and did everything they said they would do. Money well spent I can honestly say that once I contacted Mark and retained him as my lawyer I knew everything was going to be ok I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a good federal lawyer. His staff was awesome especially Jeanette she was there with me very step of the way and kept me updated and informed with everything his whole team did an amazing job."

"I would like to thank everyone on the staff of O’Brien Hatfield and Reese law firm for all the dedication you have shown to me in your office while representing me. Especially Jeanette, Michael Kennedy, Hana, Maria and Victoria Hatfield whom I know was aware of and directing all the positive decisions being made to have my case reduced and settled with the least possible amount of punishment. I never had to wait for any response to my calls or communications and the support you gave me was the very best anyone could ask for. I am happy that your firm came highly recommended to me in my time of dismay and that the satisfaction I received from your hard work was gratifying. I would highly recommend your law firm to anyone in need of a team of excellent attorneys. Thank you all very much! Charles K"
