Biography
Olga Beznashchuk was born in Ukraine and came to the United States with her family at sixteen. Starting a new life in a country taught Olga to be persistent and never to give up. Olga’s persistence and dedication allowed her to graduate with honors from one of Chicago’s high schools and receive acceptance offers to multiple Illinois universities.
Olga obtained her undergraduate degree from DePaul University with a Political Science major and a Business Administration minor. While studying at the university, Olga 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 and 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. Now, Olga represents clients from Chicago and the surrounding areas in workers’ compensation and personal injury cases.
Olga Beznashchuk is a member of the Chicago Bar Association and Illinois State Bar Association. Olga is also a member of the ISBA Workers’ Compensation Section Council. Olga is fluent in English, Ukrainian, and Russian and 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.
