OUR APPROACH

Why Aberle and Connolly, PLLC?

As a boutique criminal defense firm based in Greensboro, North Carolina, we provide focused, compassionate, and strategic representation tailored to each client’s unique circumstances. Led by criminal law specialists Brennan Aberle and Julie Connolly, our firm is committed to protecting your rights, guiding you through every step of the legal process, and fighting for the best possible outcome.

We get it. You aren’t reading this because everything is going perfect in your life right now. You deserve an attorney who is going to make the time to listen to how your life has been affected by a criminal charge, traffic ticket, or a suspended license. You should not have to spend days trying to get your attorney on the phone just to get simple answers to questions.
You might be just another case to some attorneys, but to us, we realize you may have had to put your life on hold and you have the right to know exactly how we are fighting for you. Our website is filled with information about the elements of crimes, common defenses, know-your-rights seminars, and even some commonly used forms and motions for other attorneys to use. You can sit back and let us handle it or be involved in the strategy.
Every case is as unique as every client and requires a different solution that works for you. Some clients simply don’t have the time to miss work, travel to a dozen court dates, or drag out a case out for years. You might be the sole provider of your house, in college out of state, or stationed overseas in the military. We can use a hammer when we have to, but sometimes putting in the work upfront and taking a delicate approach is the best way to solve the problem.
Our firm is well known in the Greensboro community and have been an established law firm since 2022. We are Board Certified in Criminal Law in the State of North Carolina and bring prior experience to this firm. Julie Connolly and our paralegal Jeremy Cruz speak Spanish and regularly take in clients from the Hispanic community that require assistance in criminal legal matters.

MISDEMEANORS

Even simple misdemeanor convictions can have long-lasting impacts on a person’s ability to get into school, apply for a job, or qualify for certain types of benefits.

Felony convictions carry more than just significant prison time. They also have serious consequences that can limit a person’s future potential. Whether you are charged with possession of firearm by felon, drug trafficking, or any other felony, you deserve an attorney who has actually tried dozens of jury trials.

Client Reviews

“[Brennan] was not afraid of going to trial, in fact, after reviewing all the options with us, as difficult of a trial it would be, he respected our decision and went to work to help us. He left no stone unturned. His hard work felt like a breath of fresh air. In our mind, we had no doubt whatever the outcome/judgement/verdict would be, he had put the best fight for us. The jury, agreed and we got a unanimous verdict in our favor. He won, we won, my son won and most importantly our grandson won.”

— CAROL, AVVO.COM

“I unfortunately got into a little trouble. I decided to hire Julie, which was a great decision. She handled my case with a great deal of professionalism and in turn, she was able to help get the charged dropped and dismissed. Her legal secretary, Caroline, was also outstanding as well. If you need someone talented & confident I would highly recommend her. Thanks again, Julie!”
