About Olga
Olga Guzhva practices law across state lines, holding licenses in both New York and Washington. She works from a Bellevue office and manages a caseload that regularly raises questions about how two different legal systems intersect. Her practice reflects the practical realities of handling matters that touch more than one jurisdiction.
Her career has unfolded against that cross-border backdrop. She has built a practice aimed at advising clients who need guidance in more than one state. That often means parsing differences in statutory rules and procedural timelines and explaining them in plain terms. Clients who face issues that are not confined to a single state turn to her for clarity and steady legal counsel.
Guzhva approaches legal problems by breaking them into manageable parts. She favors careful analysis and clear writing. She asks for the facts and sorts them into what is legally significant and what is not. The result is work that aims to keep clients informed and prepared for each stage of a matter.
Her admissions in New York and Washington give her a wider procedural reach than many practitioners who work only in a single state. That positioning allows her to assist clients when a dispute or transaction involves law in both states. She is accustomed to the logistical demands of that kind of practice, including coordinating filings, deadlines, and communications across time zones and court systems.
Outside of casework, she emphasizes practical problem solving. She aims to provide advice that clients can use the next day. That means translating legal options into steps. It means identifying near-term risks and longer-term implications. Colleagues describe her as steady and precise in her work product, and clients rely on her for clear explanations.
She maintains an office in Bellevue where she meets with local and regional clients. From that base she continues to advise and represent individuals and organizations whose matters involve New York and Washington law. Her current practice concentrates on representing clients in disputes and transactions that require attention to both New York and Washington legal issues.
