Kathleen Brody O'Meara
Kathy O’Meara’s practice is a mix of government and internal investigations, other criminal defense work, and civil litigation. Kathy’s experience is varied: She has second-chaired a three-week civil jury trial, which ended before verdict in a settlement favorable to the client; she was an integral part of the team that negotiated a high-profile settlement for a publicly traded company that was under investigation by the Arizona Attorney General’s Office; she co-authored a petition for writ of certiorari in the United States Supreme Court; and she helped secure the disqualification of the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, and the eventual decision to drop the prosecution, in a politically motivated prosecution of her client.
