Nashville Federal Crimes
Defense Attorney

If you have been notified that you are the target of a federal investigation, are facing a grand jury or have been charged with a federal criminal offense, you need an experienced federal criminal defense attorney immediately. In most cases, federal investigators have been gathering evidence and preparing their case for weeks and months before turning the evidence over to a prosecutor for possible charges.

Federal criminal cases require a special understanding to court procedures, presentation of evidence and sentencing guidelines. It is important to have a lawyer who has hands-on successful experience, knowledge and skill on your side. My name is attorney Patrick T. McNally of Weatherly, McNally & Dixon, P.L.C., in Nashville. With more than 30 years of experience handling federal criminal defense cases, I am recognized as one of the most experienced federal criminal law attorneys in the region. From our offices in Nashville, I represent people facing criminal indictments in federal courts throughout the region, including:

• U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky
• U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee
• U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee
• U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee

My experience in federal court criminal defense cases includes:

• Narcotics offenses
• Wire and mail fraud
• Bank and mortgage fraud
• Internet sex offenses and child pornography
• Federal weapons charges
• Immigration crimes
• Welfare fraud, Medicare and Medicaid health care fraud

In addition to defense representation, I also handle post-conviction representation for federal offenses, including federal appeals in the U.S. 6th District Court of Appeals, parole, commutations and pardons.

Before any lawyer can handle your case effectively, you need to make sure you are on the same page regarding strategy and outcomes. Not every doctor is right for your medical condition and not every attorney has the right kind of experience and approach you need. I will spend time with you to make sure our goals are aligned and we can work effectively together.
