Overview

Born in Rivne, Ukraine, Olga brings an international academic background and a broad range of professional experience to her work.

Olga came to the United States in 2006 and continued her studies in Mobile, Alabama, where she studied English at the University of Alabama.

Olga has focused extensively on personal injury and workers' compensation matters. Her work includes assisting with client communications, case investigations, the assessment of medical records, document preparation, discovery, settlement negotiations with medical providers, communications with private investigators and court clerks, and the day-to-day management of both litigation and pre-litigation files.

Her background in biochemical engineering is particularly well suited to personal injury and workers' compensation work, where medical records, treatment histories, injuries, and damages often form an important part of a client's case. Olga's experience, attention to detail, and familiarity with the progression of personal injury matters allow her to provide meaningful support throughout both the pre-litigation and litigation processes.

Olga is fluent in English, Russian, and Ukrainian, allowing her to communicate directly with a broader range of clients and assist them in navigating the legal process in a language with which they are comfortable.

Olga also has a strong interest in legal research and enjoys staying informed about developments in the law. She values thorough preparation and takes pride in helping clients navigate what can often be a stressful and unfamiliar process. Throughout her career, Olga has developed extensive experience communicating and working with court clerks in Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, Rock Island, and Will Counties as well as with AAA and ADR arbitration staff. She also provides language assistance and interpretation in court proceedings, arbitration hearings, and immigration matters throughout the Chicagoland area.
