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.

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.

    "Do not give up hope"
    Words cannot express my gratitude and appreciation to Rob McKinney and his entire law firm. This was my first experience with needing legal representation. After speaking with other attorneys, I was told that there was not much they could be do for me. I was fully aware that the odds were stacked against me and I was losing hope. Mr. McKinney told me that he would fight for me and that is exactly what he did. I could not have asked for a better outcome. I highly recommend this firm

    ""Expert care, unwavering support, and a team that truly fights for you—Savannah and her staff go above and beyond!""
    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!

    "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 !
