An Absolute Gem!

I had an issue in traffic court that I assumed would be a quick fix on my own. I could not have been more mistaken. Do not attempt to navigate the legal system on your own, no matter how small you think the matter may be. I left the courthouse and contacted Vanessa immediately. Her response to my ma...tter was very prompt and extremely professional. She gave me my best/worst case scenario and was very informative. Knowing that i had her on my side was a tremendous relief. I felt like family. She took charge of my matter, and swiftly resolved it to my complete satisfaction. She is absolutely the attorney you need on your side.

Call Vanessa First

Vanessa is an attorney that you can rely on for positive results in court. I have had her represent me twice. She was available for me at a moment's notice and worked diligently until my cases were closed. I have no reservations requesting her services again if I have the misfortune of a legal issu...e. Thank You.

Great Lawyer, Wonderful Person

My son and I met Vanessa back in June. My son was caught shoplifting (petti theaft), and also had a misdemeanor charge against him.. She took over both cases and she was able to have both charges dropped.. She was very good in communicating with us and keeping us up to date with everything that was g...oing to happen.. Not only is she a true professional Attorney, but she is also very genuine person.. She is very caring about her clients. I would recommend her highly. Thank You Vanessa, for everything that you did for my son, and for my family.

SHE WAS THEIR WHEN WE WERE REFERRED TO HER BY ANOTHER ATTY .SHE PROTECTED ARE RIGHTS THAT WE DID NOT KNOW THAT WE HAD AT THAT POINT IN TIME. SHE MADE SURE EVERYBODY THAT WAS INVOLVED WITH THE CASE THAT SHE WAS REPRESENTING US ,IN WHICH MADE US FEEL LIKE THAT WE REALLY HAD SOMEBODY ON ARE SIDE FIGHTIN...G FOR US.SHE HAD MADE ADDITIONAL PHONE CALLS TO CPS, PROBATION,EVALUATIONS AND OTHER PEOPLE ,THAT SHE DID NOT HAVE TO. LETTING THEM KNOW THAT WE WERE BEING REPRESENTED BY HER. SHE IS TRUST WORTHY HONEST AND VERY RELAY ABLE A WOMAN OF HER WORD IN WITCH YOU DO NOT SEE IN PEOPLE AS MUCH AS YOU USE TO. THERE WAS A GOOF UP IN THE FILING OF THE ARREST SHE SPENT A WHOLE DAY WITH STATES ATTY AND JUDGE TO STRAITEN IT OUT TO GET THE RELEASE FROM JAIL SHE WENT OVER AND ABOVE TO GET IT DONE.

"I endorse this lawyer. Vanessa brings a unique skill set to the table. I have never met an attorney so versed at finding "technicalities" and "punching holes" in the opposition's case. Nye is a winner."

"I have known Vanessa Nye for over 17 years now. I first worked with her as an Assistant Public Defender in the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit. During that time, we shared ideas regarding issues/cases and she was always of help regarding finding the answer. I also have sought advice from her in private practice while handling criminal cases over the last 17 years. She has always sent me in the right direction and/or given me the correct answer outright. If I bypass a case because of conflict, I would have no problem referring the case to her as her reputation is highly regarded as both a former Assistant Public Defender and a private attorney. My observation of her courtroom demeanor can only be described as impressive. In sum, I endorse Vanessa and her ethical practice of law as she is both competent and professional."

"I emphatically endorse this lawyer. I have known Ms. Nye for over 20 years. As a fellow criminal defense attorney I would say Ms. Nye has a reputation as a very professional attorney who fights tirelessly for her clients. She has earned the respect of her peers through aggressive trial work and excellent results. Her personality has created friendships throughout the courthouse and the legal community. Most charges are not resolved in trial. This fact makes it critically important to have an attorney who has an excellent rapport with not only the prosecutors, but also the judges in the criminal courthouse. Ms. Nye has all that and more. I would highly recommend Ms. Nye to anyone charged with a crime."

"It is easy to endorse Vanessa Nye as an attorney. She is a well known and respected criminal defense attorney in the Tampa area. She practices extensively in the local and federal courts. In addition to her vast legal and trial expertise, Vanessa has excellent relations with the judges, proescutors and court personnel, which is always helpful. I personally consult with Vanessa when my clients have issues with their Florida licenses and always refer them to her first when they have criminal issues pending in the Tampa Bay area. If you are looking for an attorney to fight hard on your case you have found her."
