Nashville Domestic Violence/Aggravated Assault LawyerCertain crimes exist that have long-term ramifications beyond a criminal charge, fine, jail sentence, or probation. Domestic violence is becoming one of those crimes where the lasting effects can significantly change how you live the rest of your life and what rights you will have. At the law office of Rob McKinney, Attorney at Law in Nashville, Tennessee, we will work to protect your rights if you have been charged with domestic violence. A domestic violence conviction results in a lifetime loss of your right to carry a weapon in the state of Tennessee. Immigrants who are in this country through a visa or a green card could lose their residency status or be deported if convicted of domestic violence or violation of an order of protection. Once a charge is made, an arrest is soon to follow. If the police show up at your door, someone is leaving with them for jail. At the law office of Rob McKinney, Attorney at Law, we get to work immediately after you have been arrested for spousal abuse or domestic violence. Many times, we get our clients immediately into counseling to show the prosecution that you are acknowledging a problem and taking important steps to work on your allegedly violent tendencies. Many domestic violence cases hinge on "he said/she said" testimony. Divorce or custody issues have been a key factor in over half of the domestic violence cases that we have handled. Unfortunately, spouses have been known to make false allegations of domestic abuse in divorce proceedings. Conviction on a domestic abuse charge may negatively affect an individual's custody and visitation rights in a family court proceeding. Domestic violence is a serious issue and a crime with severe penalties. However, when it is used as a way to gain an advantage in a divorce, we get to work in defending our client's rights. Our job is to conduct a thorough investigation and strip away the emotional elements to find the facts of the case. If there is an order of protection in place, we encourage our clients to stay away from the home. Any violation could result in jail time with no probation.

"There are precious times in our lives when we are blessed with people in our life who make a difference. Although at times we may not have the right words to express just how grateful we are, we truly are grateful. God has brought you into our life, and we are forever thankful for you and all that you have done. Even if at times we may not say so. The picture included is of our daughter. We believe that it is she who will benefit the most from what you have done for us. Because of you, her father will be returned to her soon. That is why I would like to say thank you. People may not take the time to acknowledge the great work that you do or have done, but we want you to know that we do."
Thank You So Very Much - Nathan
