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.

    I cannot speak highly enough of Savannah and her incredible team. From the very start, she demonstrated expert care, attentiveness, and a true dedication to my case. Her professionalism and knowledge made the entire process smooth, and she took the time to ensure I understood every step along the way. What truly sets Savannah apart is her compassion and commitment. She and her staff were always responsive, thorough, and supportive, making me feel confident that my case was in the best hands. Their attention to detail and ability to navigate complex situations with ease made all the difference. I highly recommend Savannah and her team to anyone in need of expert legal representation. They not only fight for you but genuinely care about your well-being. Thank you for everything!
    - Josh
    "Incredibly helpful"
    This was my first experience ever being accused of a crime and I was very nervous and scared. Rob and his staff were incredibly helpful, answering all of my questions and putting my mind at ease throughout the process. In the end, we were able to get everything dismissed successfully. Although in the grand scheme, my case was a relatively minor one, Rob always was there to help and it was clear that his knowledge and experience would be hard to find anywhere else. I would absolutely recommend Rob and his team to anyone looking for a defense attorney.

    "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!!!
