Edward “EJ” J. Odre
Attorney
From The Marines To The Courtroom
EJ Odre brings grit, structure, and a strategic mindset to every case. Before becoming an attorney, he served in the United States Marine Corps. That experience shaped the way he works—disciplined, focused, and relentless when it matters most.
After earning his law degree from Baylor, EJ joined the Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney’s Office. There, he handled cases involving DWI and assault-family violence, giving him a strong grasp of how prosecutors think and operate.
Now, on the defense side, he uses that knowledge to challenge the other side’s game plan and push for better outcomes.
