The best in my opinion

She worked with me on two separate occasions and both got exactly what I wanted. She took care of me through the whole process and showed me multiple times that she cared what happened to me. I trusted her and she did exactly what she said she would do! If you are in need of someone to take care of y...ou, she will be there every step of the way.

Vanessa Nye Makes the Impossible, Possible!

Vanessa Nye not only helped save my job but also kept me from having Two DUI's on my record. My case was definitely more than a challenge. I was facing two DUI's all from one incident. Couldn't even believe they can charge you with two DUI's at one time. Well, they can and they did... One DUI, an...d one DUI with property damage as I was in an accident. They also charged me with driving on a suspended license, open container, wreck less driving, and no proof of insurance. I was facing 6 charges and possible jail time. With the help from an angel Ms. Vanessa Nye and the grace of God, all charges were dropped to ONE wreck less driving and early termination off probation once I completed the mere 50 hours of community service, DUI school, and Victim Impact Panel. I was facing a tremendous loss not only career wise but personally too. Vanessa Nye made the impossible, possible for me. I highly recommend her. She treated me as a person and not just a client. Never had to worry about a court date or paperwork, everything was always taken care of and she even held my hand along the way. Superseded my expectations! I highly recommend Vanessa Nye.

Highly recommend!!

Vanessa's professionalism, expertise and compassion put me at ease as soon as I walked into her office. I just encountered one of my worst experiences in my life.......I was literally shaking when I met her. With her calming demeanor,she assured me that I had nothing to worry about. She was going to ...take care of everything.....and she did!! Hopefully I will never have to use her services again. But, if I do, she is on speed dial! Thank you Vanessa!!

Great woman & lawyer

The first thing about Vanessa that is absolutely impossible to miss is her automatic warmness and sincerity. She automatically made me feel not as stupid for my charges which resulted in my hiring her in the first place. She resolved my two -semi-minor but potentially bearing LARGE and LONG punishmen...ts- so favorably I couldn't believe my luck! (It wasn't luck, it was Vanessa) Even in moments when I was being a less than stellar client, she was more than understanding. The entire resolution was almost enjoyable with Vanessa involved. Could not have any higher recommendation!

"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."
