About Andrea Elizabeth

Andrea Elizabeth Gambino built her academic foundation across three fields that do not often travel together. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in French Literature from Michigan State University, then moved to Columbia University where she completed a Master of Arts in International Affairs in 1987. She returned to the Midwest to study law and received her J.D. from DePaul College of Law in 1994. Those credentials frame a legal approach that blends textual attention, geopolitical awareness, and practical lawyering.

After law school she entered private practice and established her professional base in Chicago. Over the subsequent decades she has maintained an office on the city’s West Loop corridor and has continued to accept client matters from the region. Her work has involved client counseling, dispute resolution and courtroom appearances. She has handled negotiations and filings, and she has taken cases through procedural stages where careful preparation matters.

Gambino’s study of French literature and international affairs shapes how she evaluates facts and communicates with clients. The literary training sharpens close reading of documents. The graduate work in international affairs adds context when matters touch on cross-border issues or involve parties from different legal traditions. Those intellectual tools sit alongside practical experience developed through years of practice in Chicago-area courts and tribunals.

She maintains an office at 53 W Jackson Blvd, Suite 1332. From that location she continues to represent and advise clients in matters brought to her firm. Her current practice is based at 53 W Jackson Blvd., Suite 1332, where she works with clients in the Chicago area.
