Since 1995, Chris Connelly has been certified as a Specialist in State Criminal Law by the North Carolina State Bar. Of the thousands of lawyers in the Mecklenburg County Bar, only a handful have received this distinguished certification.  First licensed to practice law in 1987, he has represented thousands of clients in felony and misdemeanor cases - as well as traffic matters - in the Federal and State Courts.

Chris and his wife live downtown in their adopted city of Charlotte.

Chris enjoys travel, Tai Chi and trail riding on his gaited Tennessee Walking Horse named Dustye. Dustye is a sweet tempered, playful, noble-hearted buckskin who loves to give rides to kids. 

Rounding out the family is the office mascot and part time employee Murraye Connelly, a Labradoodle who is quite sure in his own mind that he is a highly evolved human being. He is doted upon by staff and clients alike, stealing their hearts with his sweet disposition.

(While I am honored by the loyalty and enthusiastic testimonials of clients, please remember that each case is different and must be evaluated on its own merits.  Prior results do not gaurentee a similar outcome in the future.)
