“I Would Recommend May McKinney a Thousand Times Over”

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!

“Super Satisfied Client”

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)

“Exceptionally Professional”

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 !

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.

“I Was Welcomed with Open Arms”

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.

“I highly recommend this firm”

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.

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!

“Weight Off of Your Shoulders”

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.

“Definitely Recommend”

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.

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.

“He Is the Very Best”

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.

“Most Stellar Lawyer”

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.

“Rob Will Always Be Our First Call”

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.

“McKinney Law Firm Gave Me A Second Chance at Life”

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.

“On more than one occasion, you treated me like kin. It meant more than you both will ever know.”

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.
