Odin, Feldman & Pittleman, P.C. Moves to Reston
On Monday, Aug. 27, Odin, Feldman & Pittleman, P.C. opened its doors and greeted clients for the first time at 1775 Wiehle Avenue in Reston. The law firm had been located at 9302 Lee Highway since 1980, and prior to that in Fairfax City since its founding in 1972.
"Our 54-attorney firm had clearly outgrown the current office infrastructure, requiring additional office and meeting space," said Douglas Ross, a principal with Odin, Feldman & Pittleman’s litigation practice group and spokesperson for the firm’s board of directors. The firm has already hired three additional attorneys, all starting within weeks of the move to the larger Reston office.
The move takes the firm from an office building located among a high-density residential area near the Vienna Metrorail station to a more vibrant, commercial area. "This location, approximately one block from the future Wiehle Avenue Metrorail station, strategically positions Odin, Feldman & Pittleman to our growing client base, the Reston Town Center and the future development of Reston and western Fairfax County," added Doug Ross.
The firm will be officially welcomed to the Reston community with a ribbon cutting ceremony in October coordinated with the Greater Reston of Chamber of Commerce.
