Patrick McNally is the best Appellate Attorney in Tennessee. Whether its post conviction or a criminal appeal, he does incredible work to ensure that due process and justice prevail. Outstanding work that creates opinions that I never get tired of reading.

Mr. McNally handled my case with so much care and respect. I was very stressed out during the whole process but he kept me calm and assured me he would do his best. He got me off with probation and I couldn’t be more thankful to him. He communicates with you through the whole process and keeps you up to date with everything. If you’re looking for a lawyer that cares, look no further Patrick McNally is the best.

My daughter and I needed a criminal defense attorney in Tennessee to defend her on a murder charge. We lived in Oregon and did not know any Tennessee lawyers. We made the mistake of hiring a lawyer who was not prepared to try my daughter’s case and she was convicted and sentenced to life-in-prison. Fortunately, we found Patrick McNally to handle her appeal and post-conviction litigation. On January 7, 2021, the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals vacated the conviction and remanded the case for a new trial. Mr. McNally thoroughly reviewed the case and convinced the appellate courts of the trial lawyers’ ineffective representation. Mr. McNally encompasses the integrity, dedication and the compassion of your situation that you need in during this difficult time. Our family is extremely grateful for his expertise.

Mr. McNally is working on an appeal for my son. He is very knowledgeable, experienced and professional. He is also compassionate and is very responsive which is extremely huge when you are going through an appeal process and there is family separation. I highly recommend him and I trust him.

I've known Pat for many years as an excellent lawyer - particularly in the area of criminal appeals. I was in private practice as a criminal lawyer in Nashville for 18 years. Like Pat, I focused my practice on appellate work. When I was recently closing my practice, I asked Pat to take over my pending appeals because I knew he would do a great job finishing the work I started and that he would take good care of my clients.
