I hired Rob Mckenny for a case of mine that just got dismissed!
He is an incredible attorney, calming and very positive.
In the judges words “You and your attorney are too bad for the state.”
Harmless charges but we got through them. I highly recommend hiring him for any case you have. He will make sure you get through it and work his hardest to have the best outcome.

Hands down one of the best attorneys in Nashville! Rob McKinney was able to get me the best outcome possible on a my DUI case in 2019. I was an international student at that time and if it wasn’t for his professionalism and knowledge, my life would be much more complicated. Thank you!

Rob McKinney delivered the best job with my DUI case. I had a list of charges I know that I would still be facing if it was not for him. He proved to not only be an excellent lawyer, but a thoughtful man towards my family facing court through a pandemic. Because of him, I no longer have to worry about putting my family at risk of covid and he greatly minimized the repercussions this case could of had on our future. His expertise, combined with his empathy and chivalrous demeanor, makes Rob McKinney the best choice for representation. It was obvious in court, that he is a well respected man and

Hiring Mr. McKinney as my DUI lawyer was the best decision I made. I absolutely believe my situation would’ve been so much worse had I went with anyone else. I hired him for a first offense DUI, and got another one while the first was pending. Without him, I do believe my consequences would have been much worse. He also instructed me on what to do about saving my nursing license due to the DUI’s. I self enrolled in a program for nurses, and have been sober ever since. He’s the best in Nashville, and I highly recommend him!

I can’t thank Rob enough for getting the best possible outcome for me! I trusted him every step of the way and never had to worry that he was doing what he said he would do. If I ever needed a lawyer again, I would not even consider anyone else. Apart from knowing his stuff and being able to deliver, you can tell he is well respected in the court system. A+ service from his staff as well. Rob took a scary situation and made the absolute best of it. Now I can move on happily with my life. I can’t say thank you enough!

Rob McKinney is an excellent criminal attorney. He took the time to really listen to me and review all the options. His explanations are thorough and understandable. He worked a lot of magic behind the scenes, when it came time for court, there was no hesitation. He sited supporting cases and provided examples specific to me. He made it easy for the judge to rule in my favor. My case was dealing with probation wanting to implement a restriction that would have prevented me from working. Not only did he knock it out of the park during the initial session, but when I went back for the routine scheduled

I had a close friend find himself needing assistance with legal matters. Rob McKinney personally accepted his phone call, met with him the very next morning and went above & beyond to help his client. He was extremely flexible in working with my friend and handled every aspect with complete professionalism and sincerity. His office is located right around the corner from the courthouse in Nashville, which makes it convenient, as well. If I am ever in need of legal advice or assistance, Rob McKinney will be my first and only choice. I was highly impressed with the work and professionalism I witnessed

Rob McKinney is the best attorney I have ever seen and dealt with. He is truly knowledgeable, passionate, and confident.. He knows in and out of the Law. He made the whole legal court process for me so smooth, and comfortable. Unlike other attorneys that I meet before who they see the clients as a guilty people, and they do not feel they need to put enough effort to defend them except to settle the case, Rob looked at me and took my case as a innocent client that he felt I was wrongfully charge and misjudged with.. He is a true fighter and Warrior.. If you want result go with Rob McKinney. He will
