On Friday, September 20th, 2024, the Presiding Disciplinary Judge of the Supreme Court of Arizona entered an order suspending attorney Marisa Rose McNally from practicing law.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of Marisa Rose McNally,” with case no. PDJ 2024-9080.
According to the order, McNally had been convicted of felony charges, prompting the State Bar of Arizona to file a notice requesting her interim suspension under Rule 61(c)(1)(A) of the Arizona Rules of the Supreme Court. This rule allows for an attorney’s interim suspension pending disciplinary proceedings after being convicted of a serious crime.
McNally did not file a verified motion showing good cause why the interim suspension should not be entered as permitted by the rule. As a result, Presiding Disciplinary Judge Margaret Downie ordered McNally’s immediate suspension from practicing law, effective until the final resolution of the disciplinary proceedings against her.
The order also requires McNally to notify her clients and others of her inability to act as an attorney, as mandated by notifications and affidavit rules in Arizona. Notices of McNally’s interim suspension were provided to representatives of the State Bar of Arizona, as well as to McNally herself by email.
According to avvo.com, Ms. McNally acquired her law license license in Arizona in 2021.
