About Salena
Salena Davis built her legal foundation at North Carolina Central University. She completed dual undergraduate degrees there in 2005, earning a B.A. in Political Science and a B.S. in Criminal Justice. She stayed at the same university for law school and received her J.D. in 2008.
After law school she joined the North Carolina State Bar in 2008. Her early bar admission coincided with memberships in local bar groups. She has been a member of the Mecklenburg County Bar Association since 2008 and joined the Mecklenburg County Criminal Defense Lawyers Association in 2011. She also holds membership in the Cabarrus County Bar Association.
Her professional path includes work at Olsinski Law Office. Public records list that office as her professional affiliation. Over the years her activity in county bar groups and in the criminal defense lawyers association has shaped the kinds of matters she handles. Those connections point to regular involvement in criminal defense practice within the state court system.
Colleagues describe her as steady and thorough in courtroom settings. She prepares cases methodically and presents arguments plainly. She is the kind of lawyer who places emphasis on procedural detail and client communication. Court calendars in Mecklenburg and Cabarrus counties are familiar territory; she has maintained ties to both bar communities while practicing across the region.
Outside of courtrooms and filings, she returns to the university where she trained. Her academic background in political science and criminal justice informs how she approaches case strategy and client counseling. That combination of degrees is common among lawyers who handle criminal matters, and it gives her a grounding in both the policy context and the practical mechanics of criminal law.
As of 2026 she continues to practice law in North Carolina and maintains active bar memberships. She is affiliated with Olsinski Law Office and remains active in the Mecklenburg County Criminal Defense Lawyers Association and other local bar groups. Her current practice in North Carolina includes criminal defense and related matters.
