Derek J. Connor

I was born and raised in Alaska. After high school I served in the United States Navy on active duty from 2000-2004. I was assigned to USS Comstock (LSD 45), where I completed three deployments overseas in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. I was honorably discharged after completing my enlistment. After the military I attended New Mexico State University, graduating with Honors in 2007. I attended law school at the University of New Mexico School of Law in Albuquerque, New Mexico where I was an editor of the New Mexico Law Review and President of the Federalist Society. Throughout law school I worked at the law firm of Guebert Bruckner PC where I focused on defense side litigation. In 2011 I moved to Las Vegas, Nevada where I worked as an insurance defense litigator before founding the  law firm of Connor & Connor PLLC with my wife and law partner, Amanda N. Connor Esq. Our primary practice areas are business and corporate law, civil litigation, land use and medical marijuana business licensing.
