About David S.
David S. Olshansky built his legal foundation at Chicago-Kent College of Law, earning his J.D. in 2000 after completing a B.B.A. in finance at the University of Miami in 1997. He came through law school at a time when courtroom practice and litigation strategy were central to legal education. Those early years shaped a practice that centers on courtroom advocacy and client representation in complex settings.
After law school he entered practice in Illinois and gained admission to the bar in that jurisdiction. He is also admitted to practice in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Over time he established his own practice, operating as The Law Office of David Olshansky. That office serves as the base for his litigation work and client consultations.
Olshansky’s professional memberships reflect the kinds of work he pursues. He holds current memberships in the American Bar Association, the Illinois Bar Association and the Chicago Bar Association. He is also a member of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. These affiliations indicate ongoing engagement with both trial practice and criminal defense matters and keep him connected to developments in litigation tactics and criminal procedure.
He has spent his career handling matters in both state and federal courts in Illinois. His courtroom experience includes appearances before judges in Cook County and filings in the Northern District of Illinois. In practice he manages case preparation, evidentiary hearings and trial advocacy. He represents individuals and handles disputes that require attention to procedural detail and an ability to argue matters in open court.
Colleagues and clients encounter a lawyer who emphasizes direct communication and practical problem solving. He balances legal research and motion practice with the demands of trial calendars. That approach informs how he prepares cases, frames legal arguments and negotiates where appropriate.
Today he practices from The Law Office of David Olshansky. The office serves as his base for litigation, client counseling and court appearances. He continues to pursue litigation and defense work in Illinois state courts and before the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, and his current practice concentrates on criminal defense and litigation in those courts.
