Comprehensive Legal Defense for Sex Crime Allegations in Tennessee

A conviction for a sex crime and the subsequent sentence extends beyond the walls of a prison. Sex crimes are becoming more high profile every day with constant news stories detailing the activities of various sex offenders. Many offenses mandate lifetime sex offender registration, which will affect every aspect of a defendant’s life.

Defending Against a Wide Range of Sex Offenses in TN

All too often, people find themselves being charged with a sex crime based on mistaken or manipulated accusers. The suspicion of a sex crime sometimes leads to a rush to judgment without a thorough investigation.

Our Nashville sex offender attorneys defend clients across the state facing such charges as:

Aggravated sexual battery
Aggravated statutory rape
Child molestation
Child pornography
Indecent exposure
Patronizing prostitution
Rape
Rape of a child
Sex trafficking
Sexual exploitation of a minor
Statutory rape by an authority figure

Our Nashville sex offender lawyers believe these allegations of sexual misconduct demand immediate action. Some begin in a divorce court or juvenile court. On some occasions, we have been successful in preventing a sex crime charge by responding to the accuser in a Juvenile Dependent and Neglect Petition. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding your case, we are confident in our ability to take the appropriate strategy to pursue a favorable result.

Understanding the Tennessee Sex Offender Registry

Being convicted of a sex crime has severe and long-lasting consequences. Following a prison term, you will be forced to register as a sex offender, which is akin to a life sentence for your crime. Depending on the level that you are assigned, daycare centers, schools, and other facilities that house children will have to be notified. Neighbors will attend community meetings, and your face will likely be plastered on the front of the local newspaper and possibly on various websites. Your reputation, career, housing, education, and relationships will all be affected.

Investigating the Evidence in Your Sex Crime Case

Cases involving sex crimes are emotionally charged. The stigma of the arrest alone can ruin a reputation. At May McKinney, our Nashville sex crime defense lawyers try to eliminate the emotional components and get right to the facts, which include securing forensic evidence.

The Draconian rules that surround sex crimes cases require us to take an aggressive stance in defending your rights. We look at police interrogation techniques that may have resulted in a confession. Many times, the alleged underage victim is improperly interviewed and sometimes coached or conditioned to give a certain response by repeated questioning. We uncover constitutional rights violations, errors, and misconduct that can positively impact our clients’ cases.

Why Choose May McKinney for Your Sex Crime Defense

Do not let the prosecution trample on your rights. The consequences of a conviction on a charge of statutory rape, sexual assault of a minor, or any sex crime are too great. Put a team on your side that have the resources, skill, and experience to deliver the highest quality service and representation through every stage of your investigation, charges, and trial.

- Satisfied Client
"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.
