Ian Donovan Nesbeth

Attorney Ian D. Nesbeth, was my attorney on Wednesday, April 13, 2016, at 3:00 pm at the court house in Tallahassee, FL. He suggested I plea bargain because in his opinion and experience I would be found guilty. He said that I could plead to a lesser charge and not be given the points or the fee wo...uld be lower, my case was driving carelessly. However, I was sure that I would get off because I was the person hit in the accident and not the witness. There were no witnesses, it was my word against the witness of the other vehicle. Attorney Nesbeth tried to persuade me to plead down but I was determined to say what I thought happened in the accident. He listened to what I wanted, and I wanted to go to court and not plead guilty to a lesser fine. Then the judge called my name, the police officer spoke first about the accident I was involved in. Then Attorney Nesbeth could then speak on my behalf. Due to the police officer neglecting to specify the district the accident took place, my Attorney Nesbeth asked for a dismissal because the officer didn't prove that the accident took place in Leon County. Without an attorney present with me, I wouldn't have known the technical problem and I would have been found guilty. However, thanks to Attorney Nesbeth being my representative, and his careful attention to the description of the accident report from the police officer, the charge was dropped immediately due to the Attorney's attentiveness to my case. I would definitely not go into court without Attorney Nesbeth; I was smart enough to know that. I would recommend him to anyone seeking counsel.

Ian represented me in a DUI case where I was innocent of the charges brought against me. The police officer lied in the arrest report and on the stand. Ian used video evidence to prove to the jury that the cop was making up evidence and exaggerating. The jury took 5 minutes to come back with an acqui...ttal.

I have been dealing with an absolute nightmare keeping my license in the state of Florida. After suspending my license multiple times and forcing me to pay multiple reinstatement fees, just to suspend my license again, the state of Florida finally sent me an HTO suspension in the mail which stated th...ey are taking my license away for 5 years with no option for a hardship license for a full year! I almost cried when I got that letter in the mail. What am I going to do if they take my license away for that long, my life would be ruined. I called many lawyers who would not even take my case given the difficulties surrounding dealing with the DMV and their Florida laws. Mr. Nesbeth asked me to send my driving record to him which I did and he accepted the challenge. He assured me he had experience dealing with this type of case and that he would work hard to allow me to keep my license. I was so upset the day came when the HTO revocation came into effect. Looking up your DL # and seeing HTO suspension: effective is a horrible feeling. I spent about two weeks checking the DMV database five times a day with no change but the day came when, as Mr. Nesbeth said it would, the HTO suspension was removed and my license showed as valid! Before I hired Mr. Nesbeth, I went to the DMV after I received the HTO letter in the mail and they told me that there was nothing that could be done to reverse the suspension. I am not sure if there is anything else that could have been done, but I know that Mr. Nesbeth's hard work has allowed me to get my license back and that means the world to me. I would recommend him to anyone who is having issues with their license. He had a plan from the beginning, returned every one of my many phone calls, and came through with what he said he would. Great attorney. I will be driving like I'm with an instructor taking my driving test from now on, but if I ever do get into trouble with tickets or suspensions again, I know exactly who to call.
