Criminal Defense Overview

Nashville, Tennessee Criminal Law Attorney

At the law office of Rob McKinney, Attorney at Law in Nashville, Tennessee, we defend clients who are under criminal investigation by law enforcement, clients who have been arrested, and clients who have been charged with criminal offenses, including the following:

Violent Crimes

Many times, our clients sit in jail following their arrest, so we often work with the family members. One objective in successfully defending a violent crime charge is to show that the individual charged used a reasonable amount of force to defend himself.

Drug Crimes

In a drug crime case, it is important to identify if your Fourth Amendment rights were violated during a vehicle stop or a search and seizure. Whether you have been charged with simple drug possession or drug trafficking, we will aggressively defend you and your constitutional rights.

Defense of Professional and Business Licenses and Alcohol/Beverage Licensing

We have helped many companies and professionals defend against license suspension or revocation, including doctors, dentists, bars, restaurants, and others. If your liquor license, medical license, or other professional license is in jeopardy, we will represent you at administrative hearings. Your business or professional license is too important. Let us help you preserve your license and career.

Drug Interdiction Stops

Drug interdiction stops are a growing trend where local police officers are set up on a highway to randomly stop passing cars. Autos and cash are seized which can be a significant revenue generator. Many times, racial profiling is a factor as well.

Domestic Violence

The long-term penalties of a domestic violence charge are becoming more severe. A conviction results in the loss of your ability to legally carry a weapon. Those clients here on a visa or green card are at risk of being deported, if convicted of a domestic assault.

DUI and DWI - Drunk Driving

When defending a DUI/DWI case, we get detailed information from our clients, including any medical issues that may mimic intoxication. At the criminal law office of Rob McKinney, Attorney at Law, we take a hands-on, detail-oriented approach to DUI cases because of the severe consequences of a drunk driving conviction.

Sex Crimes

Ramifications of a sex crime conviction can follow you for the rest of your life. Draconian sentences, police interrogation techniques, and the improper questioning and coaching of children make these cases challenging. We are up to the challenge.

Child Pornography & Molestation

Child pornography and molestation charges are handled in Federal court. We consult with forensic computer experts to determine how certain images got on your computer. With molestation cases, we protect your rights and challenge the prosecution's evidence at every turn.

Rape – Sexual Assault

Like any other sex crime, a conviction of rape or sexual assault can result in a lifetime sentence. Being charged with sexual assault alone carries a stigma that is hard to overcome, even if you are later acquitted of any sex-related crime.
