Frances M Olivier

Ms. Olivier is married to the Honorable Mark Doherty and they have three children (Meaghan, Jack, and Catherine). They reside in New Orleans where they enjoy time with family and friends.

Her career began as a prosecutor, spending three years as an Assistant District Attorney in New Orleans at Tulane and Broad. The courtroom was a comfortable 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.

After seventeen years of work for public and private corporations, Ms. Olivier made the decision to enter private practice. She has based her personal practice on building relationships with her clients and fighting for their rights, which are the same principles she has applied throughout her career.  

​

Ms. Olivier believes in handling her clients personally-- and always with honesty and fairness. Her clients enjoy being able to call her directly and can easily make arrangements to see her personally. This hands-on approach is what sets her apart and makes a difference in the quality of representation she provides.
