R. McConnell Group PLLC

Our practice includes criminal defense, complex civil litigation, regulatory enforcement defense, and internal investigations. Our record speaks for itself, including our recent historic, landmark post-verdict acquittal, defeating the DOJ's first supposed "cartel" FCPA prosecution (U.S. v. Rovirosa) . This is one of five post‐verdict FCPA acquittals in the 50‐year history of the statute and the only one on Confrontation Clause grounds—a rare constitutional win in any federal criminal case, much less a heavily resourced DOJ Fraud Section case investigated over six years. The trial, held a record‐setting four months after indictment, resulted in our client walking out of federal detention a free man and upended a long‐standing DOJ investigation.
