About Olga
Olga Velkova trained at Capital University Law School, where she entered in 2010 and earned her J.D. in 2013. She moved into practice in Ohio after completing law school, building experience in the everyday work of a small firm associate. Her legal education emphasized practical skills and courtroom procedure, and she has carried that emphasis into her professional life.
Velkova began her post-law school career handling matters that required close client contact and careful case preparation. Early on she took on responsibilities typical of firm associates: drafting pleadings, preparing filings, attending client conferences and supporting courtroom work. Those tasks have shaped a pragmatic approach to case management and problem solving.
Her professional path led her to The Law Office of Shihab and Associates, where she joined the team as an associate lawyer. In that role she has worked across a range of client files, contributing to research, motion practice and settlement discussions. Colleagues describe her as methodical; she tends to the details that move a file forward and keeps clients apprised of developments in plain language.
Velkova is admitted to practice in Ohio and is a commissioned Notary Public under the Ohio Secretary of State. That status complements her office work and allows her to assist clients with documents that require notarization. She maintains the administrative credentials that small-firm practice often requires.
Her courtroom appearances and filings reflect steady exposure to Ohio procedural rules. She has developed familiarity with local court practices and the scheduling realities that affect litigation and transactional calendars. She balances deadlines and client expectations by setting clear timelines and communicating regularly.
Colleagues and clients see in her a lawyer who prefers concrete steps over broad pronouncements. She focuses on preparing the record, meeting procedural deadlines and keeping legal arguments tightly organized. Her style is practical rather than rhetorical. Today she is an associate at The Law Office of Shihab and Associates Co., LPA, where her practice centers on representing clients in matters filed and resolved in Ohio courts and administrative forums.
