Inspired to become a lawyer in second grade by her best friend’s father, D. Robin Gouveia has thrived as a managing attorney for d’Oliveira and Associates. She joined the firm in 2011, and focuses her practice on personal injury and disability law.

Ms. Gouveia also communicates with medical providers and develops with case strategies. She loves that the job allows her to help others, and hopes that, in the future, she will continue to advance in the field. One of her goals is to teach her associates to appreciate law as much as she does.
