The law firm of Brodsky & Odeh, the legal practice behind several of Chicago's biggest cases, is splitting up, partners Reem Odeh and Joel A. Brodsky jointly announced today. "We have grown in different directions and our expertise is now in very different areas of law," says Brodsky. "After some soul searching and discussion it became obvious to both of us that it simply makes more sense to be in separate law firms." Odeh, who teamed with Brodsky six years ago, says she is looking forward to forging ahead with developing her own practice. "I learned a lot from practicing criminal law with Joel over the last six years, and now it is time for me to develop my own identity as an attorney," says Odeh. Brodsky and Odeh are probably best known for their representation of former Bolingbrook police officer Drew Peterson. Reem says that despite the breakup of the firm, she will remain a part of Peterson's defense team.
