Conley graduated from Stonehill College in 1980 and Suffolk University Law School in 1983. He joined the office of the Suffolk County District Attorney after passing the Massachusetts Bar Exam. Beginning his career as an Assistant D.A. handling cases in the Boston Municipal Court, he would later begin prosecuting juvenile cases in the Boston Juvenile Court. In 1987 he was promoted to the Suffolk Superior Court where he prosecuted felony cases. When gang violence increased in Boston during the late 1980s and early 1990s, he was promoted by then District Attorney Ralph Martin to the anti-gang violence task force. In 1992 he was promoted to the Homicide Unit of the D.A.'s office. Conley served as an assistant district attorney for a total of nine years, during which time he prosecuted homicides and other serious felonies including drug trafficking, non-fatal shootings, and intimate partner violence.

In 1993, he left the Suffolk District Attorney's office to run for a seat on the Boston City Council. Constituents elected him to the District Five seat, where he served for eight years and served several terms as chairman of the Council’s Public Safety Committee. He remained on the Boston City Council until he was appointed Suffolk County’s 14th district attorney on February 19, 2002.

Conley’s top priorities as district attorney include the protection of society’s most vulnerable members, including seniors, children, and victims of domestic violence; the aggressive prosecution of violent offenders, especially those who carry and use firearms on city streets; and adherence to the highest ethical standards by every member of his office.
