Olga Beznashchuk

Olga Beznashchuk was born in Ukraine and came to the United States with her family at the age of sixteen. Starting a new life in a country taught Olga to be persistent and to never give up. Olga attended one high school in Chicago, and later enrolled at DePaul University, obtaining her degree in Political Science.

Olga knew that she wanted to become an attorney during her first year of college when she conducted volunteer work in underserved communities. Olga helped students from Chicago schools obtain funding for college education by assisting in filling out FAFSA applications and securing scholarships.

Olga also volunteered as an aid in Chicago Public Schools on the city’s south side, as well as assisted low-income parents who temporarily lost custody of their children. Promoting justice for people who do not know their legal rights or do not have access to much-needed legal services is a passion for Olga, and this was one of the main reasons Olga decided to pursue a career in law.

Olga obtained her law degree at Northern Illinois University College of Law, and graduated with honors. Olga has experience working for Farmers Insurance, and also as a director of business operations for a private corporation. Now, Olga lives with her husband and daughter in Lake in the Hills, Illinois, and she is thrilled to work in the city where she grew up advocating for the injured workers and people hurt due to the negligence of others. Olga Beznashchuk is a member of the Chicago Bar Association and Illinois State Bar Association.
