More Than Just a Lawyer — A True Advocate

I can honestly say that finding Richard McGee was one of the best things that happened during one of the hardest times of my life. I had made the biggest mistake of my life, and I was overwhelmed, scared, and unsure of what the future would hold. From the very beginning, Rich was there — not just as ...an attorney, but as someone who truly cared about me and my well-being. He walked me through every single step of my legal battle, making sure I always understood what was happening and what to expect. He never left me in the dark, always taking the time to explain things clearly and answer my questions with patience. Beyond just handling my case, he genuinely cared about how I was doing personally and did everything he could to make sure I not only got the best possible outcome, but also got the help and support I needed to move forward in life. Lisa Naylor also assisted on my case, and I’m so grateful for her as well. She was incredibly supportive throughout the process and played an important role in helping me feel informed and reassured. Together, Rich and Lisa made a tough experience so much easier to get through, and I knew I was in the best hands possible. What impressed me the most was how hard Rich fought for me. He was relentless in making sure my side of the story was heard, and his dedication to getting me the best result possible never wavered. He went above and beyond, treating me like a human being rather than just another case file. I am beyond grateful for everything Rich and Lisa did for me. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. Rich is not only an outstanding attorney, but also a truly compassionate person who makes a very difficult process so much easier to bear. If you’re ever in need of a lawyer who will fight for you, stand by you, and genuinely care, Richard McGee — and his team including Lisa Naylor — are the ones you want by your side.

Rich McGee Is the Attorney You Want in Your Corner

Not just the best criminal defense attorney in Nashville — one of the best I’ve come across in the entire country. Rich checks every box you’d want in a top-tier attorney. He truly cares about his clients, brings real passion to every case, and knows exactly when to be aggressive and when to be strat...egic. He didn’t just win my friend his freedom — he went above and beyond to make sure he got the support he needed afterward. If you’re looking for elite criminal defense, Rich is your guy. Worth every penny, and he charges extremely fairly for the level of dedication and excellence he delivers. He’s a fighter and a winner — exactly who you want on your side. Also want to recognize co-counsel Lisa Naylor — outstanding attorney and a total pleasure to work with. She stood shoulder to shoulder with Rich every step of the way and played a key role in delivering big wins. And Marie, the paralegal, was phenomenal — organized, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire process. Truly an incredible team.

Extremely knowledgable and fair

Experienced, professional, fair, and knowledgable. Showed empathy, concern, and offered good advice for me and my specific case. Competent, well-respected attorney with a ton of experience. Highly moral and ethical, but I know there are lawyers out there (more expensive ones) that may possibly be abl...e to reduce DUI charges to less than what I got. That being said, Mr. Mcgee did a thorough job reducing my charge to wreckless driving and knowing how anxious and nervous I was - was incredibly sensitive and attentive to that to the point he actually had me smilling and laughing in the court room as a way to lessen my fears. A great man.
