Drugged Driving Lawyer Nashville, TN

Defense for Driving Under the Influence of Drugs in TN

In recent years, there has been an explosion of arrests and convictions involving driving under the influence (DUI) of drugs. Driving under the influence of drugs, also referred to as drugged driving or DUI of drugs, can result in jail time, fines, loss of driver's license, mandatory drug treatment, and other penalties. In addition, a drugged driving conviction on your record can prevent you from getting a job, a place to live, a professional license, or acceptance into a graduate school program.

At May McKinney, we are dedicated to defending clients accused of driving after taking a street drug or a prescription medication. With extensive training and experience in DUI defense, we are uniquely qualified to challenge misdemeanor or felony charges involving drugged driving.

Call our Nashville drugged driving lawyers today at (615) 265-6383. We serve Nashville, Mount Juliet, Brentwood, Franklin, and all of Tennessee.

Our Lawyers Are Experienced in Drugged Driving Defense

If you have been arrested, it is important to discuss your options with a Nashville drugged driving lawyer who knows how to help. We have successfully defended clients charged with DUI involving:

  • Marijuana
  • Methamphetamine
  • Cocaine
  • OxyContin
  • Oxycodone
  • Ambien
  • Fortabs
  • Over-the-counter medication

You could be taking a prescription drug under a valid prescription and still be arrested for driving under the influence, if the arresting officer believes that the drug impaired your ability to drive.

Building a Compelling Case Against DUI of Drugs

A successful defense of drugged driving charges requires knowledge of the science involved in these cases. Our Nashville drugged driving attorneys work with respected experts in toxicology who can analyze the evidence, including toxicology reports, and determine if our client had taken a therapeutic or toxic level of the substance.

We will also carefully examine whether the police followed proper procedures during the traffic stop and arrest. If they performed field sobriety tests, for example, we will thoroughly evaluate whether the results they obtained are valid evidence upon which to pursue a conviction.

    "Perfect Results"
    I am grateful for this level of professionalism and you would be foolish not to have her represent you.
    - Kyle
    "Stop searching for an attorney. Stop worrying about your legal woes. Stop wondering if your attorney actually cares and start letting Rob McKinney handle your case."
    In a nutshell, all of the glowing reviews that I read on this site are 100% spot-on. I had a DWI case reduced to reckless driving. Rob is a fighter and would have battled for a full dismissal if I had requested him to but after some discussion I concluded that accepting the lesser charge was the right move for me. Furthermore, Rob was able to file a motion and get the judge to dismiss my probation obligations once I finished the mandatory classes. It was the best possible result for me. I also need to mention that Karen, the front end of the firm, is spectacular and plays an important part in the firm's success and client experience. She responds to communications promptly and keeps you informed of what's happening as required while Rob and Shyanne stay busy getting the legal work done. Seriously, if you're searching for representation and nervous because you don't know who you can trust and rely on, just stop. I promise you these reviews you've been reading (just like I did before I contacted the firm) are accurate and you can quickly take some of the weight off of your shoulders by having a meeting at May & McKinney and retaining them for your case.

    "Complete Confidence"
    Little words cannot express the gratitude we have for you! From the very first day we walked into your office, we had complete confidence in you and your staff.
    - Jack & Jessi
    "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.
    - Tara
    "A Great Firm to work with!!"
    Mr. McKinney assisted my daughter with two separate cases. Both were handled very professionally and had very positive outcomes. He was always helpful when meetings were held and assisted in making this extremely stressful time easier for her. I would recommend his firm to anyone who needs the assistance of very capable, professional, caring attorneys.
    - L.R.
    "Rob and his team did a fantastic job on my case... I would definitely use his services again."

    "Simply Awesome"

    I appreciate absolutely everything that you and your team have done for me. I could not have made a better decision than to have your representation during this horrific time in my life. Along the way, I feel like I was educated about the process and felt at ease with every step. The due diligence that was done on your behalf was top tier and goes without saying, simply awesome! The only regret I have is not coming to your first. You have my full support of referrals to anyone I hear that needs a great defense team in their corner, because I sure did! Again, Thank you!

    Rob McKinney did an exceptional job! I was extremely worried about my case. Not only did he get the best outcome possible for my case, he had skilled knowledge to answer all my questions about my nursing license along the way. 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!
