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.

In the darkest and most ashamed moment of my life, Mr. McKinney with all of his kindness, encouragement, and unsurpassed knowledge for the Tennessee law was by my side. I am nearly 60 years old and never had a conflict in my life, let alone one that involved an uncontrollable emotional reaction, that resulted in a physical altercation. Yet under the influence of prescribed drugs for insomnia, anxiety management, and alcohol, I made a grave mistake which resulted in Class C Aggravated Assault Felony Charge. To complicate matters, I am not a resident of Tennessee. It goes without saying that Mr. McKinney has earned the utmost respect as a top tier lawyer from the Tennessee court system. He was able to professionally articulate my case to the court, emphasizing that I risk losing employment, showed that I voluntarily turned myself in, and that I was a first-time offender. The court listened to him and as a result he was able to negotiate terms that far exceeded my expectations. I spent a lot of time between my arrest and court appearance researching the standard outcomes for an aggravated assault charge in the State of Tennessee, and based on what I read, I expected the worst judgement to be passed down. Mr. McKinney however worked with the court system to not impose jailtime and an opportunity to have the charges expunged from my record. I know that I will forever be ashamed and grieve over the event, but he was able to provide me with the opportunity to work the rest of my life making this right to the victim, my family, and others that were emotionally impacted. Mr. McKinney is worth his weight in gold. He knows the law. He is respected. He is highly skilled as a lawyer. He is the very best. I only wish I met and got to know of him under better circumstances.- SB

I would recommend him to all of my closest friends and family. Karen and the entire staff are extremely helpful and I always felt that I was a priority. Thank you Mr. McKinney for helping to keep my future bright! I am so very thankful to you!- Very Satisfied Client
