Nashville Criminal Defense Attorneys
Many attorneys may offer to “fight for you,” but unless your battle is fought wisely and well, mere zeal will not help you. At May McKinney, our Nashville criminal defense lawyers are not only passionate about protecting your rights, but we pursue this goal with intelligence and strategy. Our holistic approach uncovers the root cause of our clients’ legal problems and allows us to seek better results to protect their futures.
An arrest or criminal investigation can jeopardize your career, your personal relationships, and your freedom. For focused representation, consider May McKinney. Our Nashville criminal attorneys will stay on your case until it is resolved.
With almost 80 years of collective legal experience, our Nashville criminal defense lawyers are known for their drive and skill both inside and outside of the courtroom. We don’t simply march a client in front of a judge to plead guilty for a lesser sentence – we carefully consider the facts to determine how to secure the most advantageous outcome. If this means going to trial, we are ready.

"I care about my clients, and I enjoy helping them. They are good people who are going through difficult times. Some are falsely accused. Others may have made a bad decision, like failing to call a cab after a party. I guide them through a legal process that can be frightening, confusing and full of snares for the unwary. I help put their lives back on track." - Attorney Rob McKinney

In a nutshell, all of the glowing reviews that I read on this site are 100% spot-on. I had a DWI case reduced to reckless driving. Rob is a fighter and would have battled for a full dismissal if I had requested him to but after some discussion I concluded that accepting the lesser charge was the right move for me. Furthermore, Rob was able to file a motion and get the judge to dismiss my probation obligations once I finished the mandatory classes. It was the best possible result for me. I also need to mention that Karen, the front end of the firm, is spectacular and plays an important part in the firm's success and client experience. She responds to communications promptly and keeps you informed of what's happening as required while Rob and Shyanne stay busy getting the legal work done. Seriously, if you're searching for representation and nervous because you don't know who you can trust and rely on, just stop. I promise you these reviews you've been reading (just like I did before I contacted the firm) are accurate and you can quickly take some of the weight off of your shoulders by having a meeting at May & McKinney and retaining them for your case.- D.T.In a nutshell, all of the glowing reviews that I read on this site are 100% spot-on.
