Reporters have focused on DP's lawyer, Joel Brodsky and have found that:
Among other incidents, they found several police reports over the years, including three domestic calls, one involving a SWAT team responding to Brodsky's Wilmette home.
According to a report of the Sept. 2, 2002, incident involving a "suicidal person," Brodsky's wife, Elizabeth Brodsky, told police "Joel Brodsky was in the house armed with a shotgun."
He had gone to his car to get a shotgun, police said. Elizabeth Brodsky "screamed at [her daughters] to get their shoes and leave now," the report said. "Mr. Brodsky exclaimed, 'That's right. You leave, get out of here, now I'm going to do it right and blow my head off with this shotgun.'"
No one was arrested.
In 2004, an Illinois disciplinary board suspended Brodsky's law license for three months after he signed a dead man's name to close the inactive bank account of a client's estate, public records show. Brodsky signed the dead man's name

to close the inactive bank account of a client's estate, public records show. Brodsky signed the dead man's name again to cash a $23,000 check from that account. But the Illinois Supreme Court agreed with a review board that Brodsky did not commit forgery because he did not intend to defraud anyone.

You've heard the old saying "Birds of a feather flock together"
This information is very good. I am not surprised that a Lawyer of this caliber would take this case.

Yes, most lawyers will do what ever it takes to win their cases or help their clients. It sounds like Joel and Drew are two of a kind, and we all know like minds...especially criminal ones.....think alike.

this poor guy....his job is discrediting EVERYONE around Drew Peterson....But he doesn't have a leg to stand on himself.
No wonder he hasn't been on Fox again...He says he will come back, but I dont' believe it. He and Drew appear to enjoy arguing against journalists, but can't stand being scrutinized by panels of qualified lawyers on TV.
