Joel Brodsky, who seized the national spotlight by representing convicted wife killer Drew Peterson before being stripped of his license to practice law, is running to represent Lakeview on the Chicago City Council.
Brodsky also represented former Chicago Police Officer Robert Rialmo, who shot and killed 19-year-old Quintonio LeGrier, who called police while suffering a mental health crisis, and his downstairs neighbor, Bettie Jones, in December 2015. Rialmo was fired in October 2019.
Later, Brodsky said he was running for the City Council to make Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s “political life as miserable as possible” while tackling crime and police reform. That would be “more of the same” in the ward that includes Wrigley Field and the Northalsted community once known as Boystown, Brodsky said.
The Illinois Supreme Court stripped Brodsky of his law license in 2019 on the recommendation of the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission, the state agency responsible for disciplining lawyers, for engaging “in conduct that threatens irreparable injury to the public and to the orderly administration of justice.
