She represents a number of high-profile citizens and organizations. \u201cI do a pretty good job of making sure the cases are resolved favorably and quietly whenever possible.

She strongly believes when a case is properly put before a jury, the jury almost always does the right thing. If the lawyers do their job, the jurors will do theirs and will get the case right. When the system doesn\u2019t work, it\u2019s usually the fault of the lawyers and the fault of the jury or the system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOther attorneys know that I will not hesitate to take the case to court,\u201d she says. \u201cYou spend a career at the courthouse building a reputation and part of that reputation is \u2018What is it going to be like if I go to trial with this person?\u2019 The other side knows I will be prepared, and I will fight. Even if you think this is going to be an easy case, I promise it\u2019s not going to be as much fun as you think.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A case that proves her point involved the theft of trade secrets, an uncommon type of case. An employee went to work for a competitor and his former employer went after him for theft of trade secrets. Ola earned an acquittal for her client.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was a case where I learned how powerful computer forensic evidence can be. There is so much information available in metadata to show what a person has actually done on their computer. These programs can tell you when something was opened, when it was last clicked, when it was created. So much information is being logged, but people don\u2019t realize it at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another case involved document management, the production and response to a grand jury subpoena, and representation of a company with individual employees being investigated for fraud accusations. Ola collected information, developed protocols for reviewing the documents, managed review teams of 20-40 reviewers, negotiated with the government on production, limit expenses, and represented the company to make sure the company didn\u2019t get charged.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1fda2b25\" data-id=\"1fda2b25\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f570251 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6f570251\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<figure class=\"wp-caption\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/attorneyatlawmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/COVER-683x1024.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-182186\" alt=\"Stephanie Luce Ola\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-38f7b825 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"38f7b825\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings='\"background_background\":\"classic\"'>\n<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-54d76d76\" data-id=\"54d76d76\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ced450e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2ced450e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<figure class=\"wp-caption\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/attorneyatlawmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Stephanie-Luce-Ola2.jpg?resize=1000%2C667&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-182184\" alt=\"Stephanie Luce Ola\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f167d9e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6f167d9e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>Ola earned her undergraduate degree in chemistry, which proves to be a significant advantage in many of her cases. For example, when a lab analyst takes the stand, she is able to cross-examine them with a hands-on understanding of the procedures that were used, the machines they relied on, and the inherent human elements that hide behind the scientific data.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can cross \u2018em pretty well. Witnesses are not generally going to get on the stand and lie. But if you don\u2019t come from that background, you don\u2019t know the questions to ask to elicit the testimony that highlights the uncertainty, how much better procedures they could have used in that case instead of what was used, you could unknowingly get you and your client into trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ola is building a successful track record in her handling of federal cases. She says federal cases tend to be complex and an attorney needs to have the skill and the drive to \u201cget into the weeds\u201d of a case and to conduct a very detailed and intensive investigation of every aspect, while at the same time taking care of his or her client.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI read somewhere that being accused of a crime is one of the most stressful things a person can go through \u2013 right up there with getting divorced or having a death in the family,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s important to establish yourself as someone who can be trusted and who is going to shoot straight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I do is important work,\u201d she adds. \u201cIt is essential to build trust. My clients know I\u2019m going to fight for them. Be honest with them. Communicate with them and be capable of taking the case all the way. I feel like my competitive nature and scientific training gives me edges most lawyers don\u2019t have. People really want a lawyer who wraps a bit too much of their self-worth in the results they get at the courthouse. I\u2019m definitely one of those. I\u2019m strategic, even tempered, but I\u2019m also emotionally invested in the welfare of my clients.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3cf54099 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3cf54099\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings='\"background_background\":\"classic\"'>\n<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-78181b\" data-id=\"78181b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-278af32e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"278af32e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"332\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/attorneyatlawmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/4-pages-1024x332.png?resize=1024%2C332&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-182192\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-76171de elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"76171de\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings='\"background_background\":\"classic\"'>\n<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6962b83\" data-id=\"6962b83\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-feaab39 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"feaab39\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<figure class=\"wp-caption\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/attorneyatlawmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/HS6_1019-683x1024.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-182345\" alt=\"Stephanie Luce Ola\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-14e536d5\" data-id=\"14e536d5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6437d96e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6437d96e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>Ola met her husband, who practices real estate law, in law school.
