About
I was born raised and educated in Nashville and Middle Tennessee. It's home. My father was a lawyer in Madison,Tn and I always wanted to be a lawyer. My first job was to go to his law office on Saturday morning to clean the office while he met with clients or did some paper work. After college , I worked in a family business before law school. It gave me an appreciation of making a living .I decided to go to law school,but I had a wife and daughter so I went to the Nashville School of Law and worked during the day. During law school, I clerked for a Circuit Court Judge in Nashville. It gave me an inside look at how the courts run rather than a sterile law school approach. I enjoy representing the person who runs afoul of the law law or is taken advantage of by big insurance companies. I want to level the playing field so the police or insurance claims adjusters do not run all over folks.Ouside of the courtroom, I like to take my youngest son on fishing trips. I never miss a Titan's game.Love SEC football. A little known fact is I enjoy cooking on a Big Green Egg grill.Winston Churchill stated the greatest gift the English gave America is the right to a jury trial. I think that is more true today than ever.

Mr. McKinney has been a godsend to me. He has managed my case with the utmost professionalism and efficiency. He has shown me compassion and empathy for my situation, and is very understanding. The outcome of my case was above and beyond my expectations. He is the BEST!
I was in Nashville for a company sponsored event, events escalated with the hotel security, I ended up chest bumping one of the guards and got arrested for assault. When I first spoke with Mr. McKinney, he was VERY confident that the charges would be dismissed and expunged off my record. After a couple days went by, my wife had been doing some research online and found that I could end up spending up to a year in prison for this. We still had 6 days until my court date to stress out over this. We called Mr. McKinney to see what the chances of this happening were. He said, NO CHANCE at all! Sure enough, the charges were dropped and expunged from my record. Mr. McKinney was very up front and professional during this whole process, and I would recommend him to anyone! Thank You for all your help Mr. McKinney!
I hired attorney Mckinney in 2017 not knowing what to expect, regarding my case on hope and prayer, with referral to him from another attorney I knew and trusted in Nashville. Looking back, now his hard work and expertise certainly paid off, with a positive verdict, (which could have been a nightmare ) with fairness Knowing the law. I would certainly refer anyone who is seeking justice, wants to hire the best of the best, to talk to him about your case. I am very appreciative of his professionalism and expertise. He is the one you want to represent you.
Eight years and four months ago, I walked into Rob McKinney’s office a broken woman. My life had been turned upside down. I fell asleep at the wheel and woke up into a nightmare. In a drunken blackout, I had caused an accident that had resulted in someone’s death. It was horrific. It was absolutely the worst time in my life. I thought I would never make it out of that dark place; never be able to be free of the pain, the hurt I had caused that man’s family and my family, especially my children. Rob met me where I was at – in that in that fog – that broken place, and he saw the humanity within, the person who simply could not believe what she was experiencing, what she had caused. He did not judge me. He cared. He went to work immediately for me, and throughout the next 18 months of meetings and court hearings; he became not only my legal advisor, but a trusted friend, someone that today I consider to be family. Rob McKinney helped me make the most of a devastating experience with the legal system. His professionalism, relationships with the district attorney’s office and the judge, advice, compassion, extended not only to me but to my entire family, helped me to navigate a tragedy with dignity until I could accept God’s forgiveness and believe in hope again, believe in a chance for a new life and to find peace. Rob McKinney gave me a priceless gift when he agreed to be my attorney all those years ago. I will always consider him on my side, a trusted friend, a member of my extended family; and I am forever grateful for his help, guidance, and above all, for helping me to believe in myself again.
He did a great job for me in my case. It took my old lawyer 2 years to make things Happen, but he made them happen in less than a month I could not be more satisfied with Mr. McKinney, you won’t find better!
The whole experience was so much easier when you have Mr. Mackinney and his team is on your side. Mackinney firm will go above and beyond to help you in case. I’d HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone. I am eternally grateful!!!
If you want an attorney that will FIGHT for you Rob Mckinney is your guy. He's very straight forward and honest. He goes by the book and gets things done! He's an absolute BEAST in the court room. He knows the law like the back of his hand and was alert, quick, and aggressive when defending me in court. He's VERY knowledgeable and knows what to expect. This guy loves his job and is truly passionate about helping others. Rob Mckinney helped me for a year and a half with a case (which he won). He fought consistently and very strategically. I'd highly recommend him to anyone; even to my close friends and family.
Robert McKinney is by far one of the best lawyers in Nashville. He got me out of a very tough situation in which my DUI charge was reduced to a reckless driving charge. Additionally, my marijuana charge was dropped. I stayed the course with him and even when I called nonstop to ask for updates or ideas, he helped me and guided me along the way even though his schedule is very busy. Very good at responding to emails and phone calls. I would recommend Rob to anyone and everyone!
Charged w/ felony assault & misdemeanor domestic violence, I went online reading reviews about attorneys in Nashville. After reading Robs reviews, I set up an appt w/ him. By the time we met face to face, he had already reviewed my case and said he felt like he could help me. He listened intently as I told him my 30 min story of events from 'that' night. His expectations (knock on wood) after hearing what I had to say were that we would go to court only 1 time and he would have the charges dismissed allowing him to expunge my record. "Don't worry, I'll get you out of this." What else can you ask for out of a 1st consultation right? So of course I hired him (at a very reasonable price considering the circumstances). And as expected, we went to court and he got all of the charges dismissed. No additional fees or court costs! It took less than an hour, and when we walked out he also reminded me that he would take care of the expungement...I didn't need to worry about anything else! Money well spent...excellent attorney
I was referred to Rob McKinney through a friend and he is AMAZING! With his knowledge and experience, you will get results! Mr. McKinney is a man if integrity. He is very professional, genuine, honest, and caring. I'm so glad I hired him as my lawyer! - TC
