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.

    "Best defense lawyer in the middle Tennessee area"
    So I was charged with schedule 2 simple poss and paraphernalia. His excellence got it dropped to a simple paraphernalia charge with unsupervised probation! It was a mandatory 30 days in jail to basically nothing but fines. Well worth every penny. If you need a lawyer call this guy immediately. He'll do everything he can with a smile to give you the best results possible. Thank God for Rob Mckinney!!!

    "Look no further, Rob McKinney is the defense attorney you need."
    As a LEO wife, I was served with a frivolous OP from an estranged step family member. With the possibility of my husband not being able to process any firearms in our household, Mr McKinney's understanding the severity of the situation, Rob took the time to investigate and prepare for the hearing. With that said, Rob absolutely destroyed the petitioner and witnesses on the stand. It was worth the time, money and stress to see Rob in action. If the need ever arises in the future, Rob will always be our first call. You cannot go wrong putting your trust in Mr. McKinney.

    "Best criminal lawyer in Nashville."
    I have met with Mr. McKinney during a very difficult time. I was welcomed with open arms. Aside from being the best lawyer, he is a very caring person. He accomplished the impossible in my case. He worked relentlessly and brought my charges down from a serious felony to a misdemeanor. Which is unheard of from what I understand. I would have faced deportation but with his expertise and commitment to my case now I can become a citizen. Rob McKinney and his team gave me a second chance in life! For that I am forever grateful.

    "Repeat offender facing time"
    When I got I hemmed up in Gallatin and caught two charges, I was told I was facing 180 days plus an extra 180-365 days serving time. I told my folks I was tired of taking chances with amateurs when It came to a legal defense lawyer. I initially called Frank Lannom's office, but they regrettably informed they did not practice in Sumner but they knew who did that was just as good and experienced. They gaveme the number to Mr. McKinneys office here. I called them up and Ms Savannah Edmonds met with me that day on a zoom meeting. I gave a very professional summarization of my charges , sentance they carried, as well as the exact figure they would charge. She even called me back to correct herself on something she said wrong. I thought that was exceptionally professional. Needless to say I knew May and McKinney were the lawyers I want defending me. It's easy to make back money. You can't get your time back. Anyway today was the first day of court with my Lawyer. And my first offer was "both charges dismissed" . Now you can't get much better than that. If you want to save money, take the amateurs and risk loosing your life, your name, your integrity or hire the professionals of May and McKinney and get results. Remember "you get what ya pay for" and with May and Mckinney it's well worth every penny !
