Expungement Lawyers in Nashville

Begin Your Future with a Clean Slate in Nashville

A criminal record can haunt you for life, crippling your chances to obtain a job, receive a student loan, or buy a new home. Today’s economic climate makes it more important than ever to erase one’s criminal record to have a clean slate to show future employers and lenders.

Because of the Internet, your criminal background may be available to anyone curious enough to look. Computerized record-checking systems make it easy for employers, landlords, and lenders to quickly discover your criminal background.

At May McKinney, our Nashville expungement attorneys have dedicated our legal practice to defending those who have been charged with a crime. We believe in second chances and are available to try and clear your criminal record through expungement.

Find out if you’re eligible by contacting our Nashville expungement lawyers at (615) 265-6383. You and your family deserve a clean start.

Eligibility for Expungement in Tennessee: Find Out How

The expungement process takes 60 days to complete, and criminal convictions are not eligible for expungement until three years from the date of judgment. Although not every conviction can be expunged, if you have been convicted of a marijuana offense or another misdemeanor, you may be eligible to clear your record.

Our Nashville expungement attorneys can review your criminal record to see if you are eligible for an expungement. If you are, we will make sure your expungement petition is completed in an efficient and timely manner. We will also keep you informed of the legal process and make sure your legal record is properly sealed so no one else has access.

    "The Only Choice for the Best Results"
    The case came during my senior year of college. It was the scariest moment of my entire life. I felt my career was over before it even started. I chose McKinney Law Firm because they are the Best of the Best. To have a prepared and knowledgeable defense, in a room where you feel guilty until proven innocent, is invaluable. Roger T. May's no non-sense approach was deliberate and strategic. The results of the case were better than I could have ever imagined. After the case was over, I went on to land a lucrative job, travel the world, and have had a very successful career. I truly believe McKinney Law Firm gave me a second chance at life. I am forever grateful for the team's care, urgency, persistence, and professionalism during a very difficult time. "Because I knew you, I have been changed for good." Thank you.
