For years, immigrants, newly freed inmates and people accusing cops of misconduct have sought legal help from the Westside Justice Center on California Avenue just south of the Eisenhower Expressway.

Criminal defense attorney Brendan Shiller, who owns the building, is among the lawyers who’ve shared space in the mural-covered structure. Shiller, the son of former Ald. Helen Shiller (46th), is now living in Las Vegas, where he’s a professional poker player. And his daughter Britteney Kapri is hoping to convert a restaurant in the building at 601-11 S. California Ave. into a cannabis dispensary.
