Criminal Defense

At Karen A. Connolly, Ltd. we represent people charged with a variety of offenses from misdemeanors, such as DUI’s, domestic violence, and drug possession, to serious felony offenses such as first degree murder and complex federal crimes.  Ms. Connolly provides zealous representation at the trial level, on direct appeal, and on post conviction relief in both federal and state court.  Her tenacity and skill have culminated in acquittals of convictions. See notable results.

Karen A. Connolly has not only obtained not guilty verdicts in jury trials, and reversals, her advocacy has saved lives.

A conviction can be appealed to either the Nevada Supreme Court or the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals for federal offenses.  If those avenues do not bring relief, a writ to the United States Supreme Court may be pursued in limited circumstances.  If you feel you were denied effective assistance of counsel, a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus can be filed.  If that fails, the denial can be appealed.  If all state remedies have been exhausted without success, relief can be sought in federal court.
