Testimonials

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!

I want to personally thank Mr. Rob and Ms. Shyanne for everything they have done for me that took me to the resolution of being able to go on with my life. I’m forever blessed to have met them and had them in my life at a very rough time. Thank you.

I can’t thank Rob Mckinney enough for all of his help with my case . I had never been in trouble before, & was very leery on paying for a lawyer, but from the moment I hired them, until my case was over, I never regretted my decision to have them represent me. Both Rob & Shyanne took every one of my phone calls, & answered every question that I ever could possibly come up. I was an emotional mess from the get-go, and probably asked 1000 more questions than necessary, but they took the time to go through absolutely everything with me, and never made me feel like I was wasting their time or that I was inferior to them. Their knowledge, wisdom and guidance was so comforting & helped me with the stress of the legal process. My case took 2 years & 13 court appearances, so it was not an easy journey, but they made me feel at ease the entire time, & in the end, the charges were dropped. Thank you ! - Lisa F (aka super satisfied client)

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 gave me the number to Mr. McKinney’s 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 , [the sentences] 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 !

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!

There are no words to express how grateful I am to Rob McKinney. He was there for me when I was confronted with a very difficult time in my life. Rob fought long and hard to prove the good of my situation. His team was behind me every step of the way during the long drawn out time frame. Rob never gave up on me and made me feel cared about through every obstacle we faced. I am very confident that he is now someone who I can call “a Friend” for life. The best word to use in description of Rob is AWESOME!

I have met with Mr. McKinney during a very difficult time. I was welcomed with open arms. Aside from being the best lawyer, he is a very caring person. He accomplished the impossible in my case. He worked relentlessly and brought my charges down from a serious felony to a misdemeanor. Which is unheard of from what I understand. I would have faced deportation but with his expertise and commitment to my case now I can become a citizen. Rob McKinney and his team gave me a second chance in life! For that I am forever grateful.

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 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.

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!

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.

I’ve used Shyanne twice now and both times my cases ended in the best case scenario. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing an attorney for DUI. She is familiar with multiple counties in middle Tennessee which definitely comes in handy. She was never judged and was always professional. Price is fair, maybe a little more than some other lawyers in the area but [well worth] it. The office staff is also very nice and helpful. I never had any problems getting questions answered or any documents I needed. If you’re looking for a firm who knows how to handle a DUI case, give Shyanne a call.

Shyanne walked me through every step of the process. I was never in the dark about anything. Her recommendations on how to proceed were spot on, and we got a favorable outcome. She is knowledgeable, kind, and real with her clients. Hopefully I am never in this situation again, but if I find myself in trouble again, I will seek her legal counsel.

Shyanne immediately knew what to do and handled my case with professionalism and expertise. She made a horrible situation bearable and stayed with me throughout the process.

Retaining the services of Ms. Shyanne Riddle at May McKinney was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. In the beginning, I was told that the firm would defend me, fight the charges and seek to have them removed permanently from my record and that is exactly what happened. My reputation is restored thanks to Ms. Riddle and May McKinney.

Shyanne achieved nothing short of perfection in working my case. She took the particulars of my situation and ensured that the results of my case were in my best interest. I am grateful for this level of professionalism and you would be foolish not to have her represent you.

Best lawyer have known will not quit will fight all the way!

Excellent work great attorney definitely worth every star & every [Penny]!!!!!

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 [jail time] 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.

Can’t say enough good things about Rob and his team. I have used him on 2 or 3 occasions in different areas of law, He provided us with a caring , comforting atmosphere and explained all aspects of the steps necessary to achieve our desired outcome. Will highly recommend Mr. McKinney in whatever aspect of what the problem is. You will not regret it.

Rob McKinney is the best criminal attorney in Nashville area. I had 7 cases and he got them dismissed right away! He made the trip to Clarksville from Nashville and saved me from loosing my green card. His experience, his dedication, knowledge and caring heart is unmatched. I am forever grateful!

I was visiting friends in Nashville and sightseeing around the Titan stadium when about 8 officers drew their weapons on me from a good 100+ feet away, demanding that I freeze and put my hands in the air. My first response was to pull out my knife while I tried to gain focus on who and why this was happening. Is this a joke? Am I being robbed possibly? That was the thoughts racing through my mind. Apparently, someone had called and said someone with a backpack threatened to blow up the stadium, WOW! I understand these officers were doing their job but after they searched me and found I was innocent they still charged me with two counts of aggravated assault on a police officer and a few others for good measure. My lawyer Rob Mckinney knew I was being honest and meant no one harm, but I was really scared that it may turn out very differently due to the circumstances. He not only got my charges dismissed but my record expunged as well. I’m forever grateful and would recommend this legal team for anyone in need of a most stellar lawyer. Thanks again Rob and the rest of the team.

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.

The need for a criminal defense attorney typically represents a low point in one’s highlight reel. Rob’s unmatched expertise, passion and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome during troubled times makes him the best available. Grateful to him and his team.

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!

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!!!

I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank you and your entire team. I could not be more satisfied with the outcome McKinney law produced, especially considering the circumstances. McKinney law helped me navigate and overcome difficulties that I am still astounded by. Even through these stressful times, you were there for me and my family. I will not hesitate to recommend or if ever needed have you represent me again. I will certainly let anyone I know, that you and your team are the best hands down! Thanks again, Rob! Your assistance and representation were completely amazing!

The case came during my senior year of college. It was the scariest moment of my entire life. I felt my career was over before it even started. I chose McKinney Law Firm because they are the Best of the Best. To have a prepared and knowledgeable defense, in a room where you feel guilty until proven innocent, is invaluable. Roger T. May’s no nonsense approach was deliberate and strategic. The results of the case were better than I could have ever imagined. After the case was over, I went on to land a lucrative job, travel the world, and have had a very successful career. I truly believe McKinney Law Firm gave me a second chance at life. I am forever grateful for the team’s care, urgency, persistence, and professionalism during a very difficult time. “Because I knew you, I have been changed for good.” Thank you.

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.

I don’t have much to say except THANK YOU. When this happened, I was more devastated than I could handle. I first found your videos online, and it amazed me that you freely distributed information just to help people. It showed me that you were someone I could trust to help guide me through this.

Having you represent me the last few years through this traumatic experience was one of the very few lines of hope I had (sometimes the only). You both consistently reassured me in my anxiety- never seeming to grow frustrated with my concerns or questions. On more than one occasion, you treated me like kin. It meant more than you both will ever know. I hope to encourage you that what you’re doing matters so much, and it has blessed my life beyond belief.

Thank you, I so appreciate you both.

Rob and his team did a fantastic job on my case. Rob put in the time and effort and found a way to get my charge reduced. He also gave me great advice about things that I could do to improve my case. I would definitely use his services again. Thanks also to Karen for answering my calls and emails and keeping me informed throughout.

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!

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.

I just wanted to say thank you for everything you have been doing for me. It’s comforting to know I’ve got you on my side. You’re the BEST!!

P.S. — I really can’t thank you enough.

Thank you so very much for all you have done and are still doing. Thank you for being such a great attorney in our time of need. You made a difficult situation endurable.

There are precious times in our lives when we are blessed with people who make a difference. Although at times we may not have the right words to express just how grateful we are, we truly are grateful. God has brought you into our life, and we are forever thankful for you and all that you have done, even if at times we may not say so. The picture included is of our daughter. We believe that it is she who will benefit the most from what you have done for us. Because of you, her father will be returned to her soon. That is why I would like to say thank you. People may not take the time to acknowledge the great work that you do or have done, but we want you to know that we do.

I wanted to take this time to sincerely thank you for your success in my court case on May 6. I know this is a little delayed as I have been busy as we all are … Anyway, I want you to know how much I appreciate your attention to detail and your professionalism. I made it through the 48 hours and have put it past me. Thanks once more for your ability to get it reduced and if I ever need legal assistance in the future, you have proven yourself to me.

Thank you for always taking care of Charles, Jessica and Drew for me. Without your help, I would not know what to do or who to turn to. You are more to us than just a lawyer. You are a friend and someone who is always there for us.

I wanted to thank you so much for helping me with my legal troubles and for doing so, so generously. I feel very blessed and appreciative for your kindness.

We owe you so much for helping us and our son. We appreciate your legal expertise and support you gave our son this April.

Thank you so much! 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. That day I was in tears and my fiancé was beyond words, we left your office with a great deal of confidence and much less stress. The office staff was always extraordinarily nice and you put us at ease each time we spoke. Throughout the case, you always kept the same calm demeanor that everything would work out as it did! You were so much more than a lawyer to us; you were a friend! We recommend you to anyone and everyone as “THE BEST” lawyer! Thanks again for everything!

Mr. McKinney,

I just wanted you to know how thankful I am for all you did to represent me. The hole seemed to keep getting bigger the last few years, it was not pleasant, to say the least, with many negative consequences. I prayed so much for the right outcome and someone to help. 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.

Thank you again for not just doing your job well, but doing the best you could for me and caring. I will be forever grateful!

Thank you for helping John with the case filed against him. It was a stressful time and your reassurance and expertise were essential in reaching a successful result.

My family will always be grateful to you.

Rob McKinney is a very helpful person. As an attorney he is very understanding and very helpful. By all means he has changed some things in my life that could have been a lot worse that what it could have been. He is the type of attorney who listens to your problem instead of not caring about what is going on just to get your money. So with that being said, if you ever need help in any type of criminal situation, he is the man to call. Thank you for all you have done!!!

I am a previous client of Mr. McKinney and I don’t need to be contacted. I simply wanted to send a message of gratitude to everyone in this practice. Thank you all so very much for your diligence, hard work, and perseverance.

Thank you for helping me when I didn’t see any hope available. Thank you for helping me to not only resolve a recent legal matter, but also pointing me in the direction of freedom from a past criminal record. I am clean and free, and I have a clear record for the first time in 12 years.

I will be forever grateful and I wanted you to know that everything you all have done will never be forgotten. I will remember and I hope to encourage anyone reading this that what you do is meaningful in the lives of people like me. Have a blessed day and keep being awesome.
