Carrollton-based juvenile attorney Andy C. Olivo characterizes his law career as having come “full circle.” As a boy, Olivo got an early taste of courthouses in El Paso, where he witnessed litigation that decided the fate of his ailing mother, no longer able to care for him. He was moved to an El Paso orphanage and later to Father Flanagan Boys Home in Boys Town, Nebraska, where he spent formative years bonding with other boys his age. Through the hardship of his mother’s passing, and the value of negotiation, teamwork, trust, and solidarity he learned while at “Boys Town,” Olivo found his calling to eventually become a juvenile law attorney. Now in his 50th year as a lawyer, Olivo spoke to the Texas Bar Journal about his career and the inspiring origins of his path in the law.
