The Importance of Early Legal Intervention

When facing violent crime charges, time is of the essence. Early legal intervention can significantly impact the outcome of your case. By engaging a skilled attorney from May & McKinney, PLLC as soon as possible, you give yourself the best chance to build a robust defense. Our team understands the intricacies of the legal system and can help you navigate the complexities involved in violent crime cases.

Here are several reasons why early intervention is crucial:

  • Preservation of Evidence: Key evidence can be lost or altered over time. Acting quickly allows us to gather and preserve crucial evidence that may support your defense.
  • Witness Testimonies: Witnesses' memories fade, and their availability can change. Early engagement allows us to interview witnesses while their recollections are still fresh.
  • Strategic Defense Planning: Starting your defense early enables us to develop a comprehensive strategy tailored to your specific situation, maximizing your chances of a favorable outcome.
  • Negotiation Opportunities: Early intervention can open doors for negotiations with prosecutors, potentially leading to reduced charges or alternative sentencing options.
  • Peace of Mind: Facing violent crime charges can be overwhelming. Having an experienced attorney by your side from the beginning can provide you with the guidance and reassurance you need during this challenging time.

Ensure Your Future is Protected With a Strong Defense

Many times, violent criminal charges such as aggravated assault or manslaughter result when the accused was simply acting in self-defense. With the facts on our side that you were threatened and felt in danger for yourself or others, we can work to show the prosecution and a jury that you used a reasonable amount of force to protect your well-being and/or the well-being of the people around you.

Our Nashville violent crime attorneys have handled a variety of murder cases. Not all have been capital cases, but we recognize the seriousness of a capital murder charge. If you are facing the death penalty, we don't have to tell you how important it is to have a Nashville violent crimes attorney who has access to the resources needed to prepare the best possible case. May McKinney provides cutting-edge representation, using mock juries to evaluate and strengthen your defense.

    "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.

    You were an answered prayer and restored my faith. The negatives and hardships I went through along the way have made me a stronger and wiser woman.
    - Laura
    "No Nonsense, Knowledgable & Organized"
    Savannah was absolutely amazing! She made me feel at ease during a very stressful time, reassuring me every step of the way that my case was in good hands. Her confidence in achieving the best outcome was completely justified. I reached out frequently with questions and she or the team always responded promptly and thoroughly. On top of their exceptional service, their pricing was better than any other law firm I contacted. I would recommend May McKinney a thousand times over!

    "Rob McKinney in an amazing attorney he will always be my first choice!"
    I seriously can’t give this guy enough credit! I’ve made a few bad choices in my lifetime before I got it together and I’ve had rob mckinney represent me for most of it. No doubt at all that he’s the best man for the job. He’s got me the best possible outcome and always went above and beyond for me every step of the way. Rob is such a genuine person and truly cares! If you’re looking for a great lawyer look no further mr. McKinney is your guy!

    "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 !
