(SAVANNAH, Ga.) Oliver Maner LLP, a distinguished Savannah law firm, is pleased to welcome Anthony Poulos and Ashleigh Rasheed-Britt as new associates. The addition of these accomplished lawyers strengthens the firm’s ability to provide exceptional legal counsel to clients throughout Georgia. Poulos and Rasheed-Britt bring a wealth of experience and expertise to Oliver Maner, further enhancing the diverse team of legal professionals.
A decorated veteran with a distinguished career in both the military and law enforcement, Poulos brings an unparalleled level of expertise and strategic thinking to the firm.
Poulos began his service in the United States Coast Guard. Following this, he served seven years as a police officer in his hometown of Boston, where his exceptional performance earned him two Medals of Honor and a position on the elite SWAT team. This hands-on experience exposed Poulos to the complexities of high-stakes situations and instilled in him a deep commitment to protecting and serving others.
Seeking to further his legal education, Poulos earned a Master of Business Administration from Columbia Southern University and a Juris Doctorate from Suffolk University Law School. In 2020, he was commissioned as a prosecutor in the United States Army JAG Corps, where he honed his litigation skills and gained invaluable courtroom experience. During his four years at Fort Stewart, Poulos successfully prosecuted numerous high-profile cases, including sexual assault, aggravated assault, child abuse, and domestic violence.
Poulos’ unique understanding of complex legal issues and his experience in high-stakes environments will be instrumental in providing exceptional representation to clients facing personal injury, wrongful death, and municipal/county government defense challenges.
Beyond the courtroom, Poulos is a dedicated family man who enjoys the outdoors, coaching young athletes, and exploring new horizons. His passion for community involvement extends beyond his professional life, making him a valuable asset to the Oliver Maner team and the Savannah community.
A native of Atlanta, Rasheed-Britt earned both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from Georgia Southern University, where she excelled as a track and field athlete. Her academic journey continued at the University of Georgia School of Law, where she graduated with honors in 2022.
Rasheed-Britt’s legal expertise spans a wide range of complex litigation matters, including personal injury, wrongful death, product liability, and catastrophic injury cases. Her ability to navigate the intricacies of municipality and county liability defense further strengthens Oliver Maner’s litigation practice.
Prior to joining Oliver Maner full-time, Rasheed-Britt gained valuable experience as a summer associate in 2021. Her leadership skills were evident during her law school tenure, as she served as vice president of the Davenport-Benham Black Law School Association and 1L President of the Student Bar Association. Additionally, her dedication to legal advocacy is reflected in her active participation on the moot court team and recognition as an inaugural recipient of the Robert E. “Robbie” Robinson Scholarship Award.
When not immersed in legal matters, she enjoys staying active, exploring the world through reading, and giving back to her community.
“Hiring intelligent, proficient, and skilled lawyers who continually uphold the highest standard of excellence in meeting our clients’ legal requirements has always been our top priority,” said Patrick T. O’Connor, Managing Partner. “Ashleigh and Anthony embody these qualities and more. Their fresh insights will undoubtedly strengthen our team and the services we provide to our clients.”
