Outstanding Legal Representation

Outstanding Legal Representation All I have are good things about Vanessa Nye. From our first consultation to the final resolution of my case, Vanessa was professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for me and my family. Her knowledge of the law, attention... to detail, and ability to clearly explain every step made a stressful process much easier to navigate. I always felt like I was in good hands. If you're looking for an attorney who is both skilled and compassionate, I highly recommend Vanessa. Everyone I have recommended her to has felt the same as I do!

Look No further.

Attorney Vanessa, was great from the start, she immediately put all my fears at ease, she was informative, re-assuring, well educated and a lion-ness in the court room! She handled multiple cases for me, in which I also threw a monkey wrench in. Attorney Vanessa handled them swiftly while getting me... the conclusion I was looking for. Attorney Vanessa has better hands than Allstate, seriously, look no further.

One of a kind

Before I sat with Vanessa I felt like I was breathing through a straw on a daily basis, the amount of stress and questions I had without a clear thought was just a mess. She completely understand my situation and was able to handle my stress with such a polite and calming presence. All of my paper wo...rk and citations was organized and laid out for me so we can go through the moment together and from an outside view she went over each step and how we can approach it. She kept communication important with me if I ever had to ask her anything that I was worried about and if I wanted more of an understanding, she wasted no time answering my messages and I couldn’t thank her more for her services. After our follow up she genuinely cared for her clients and it allowed me to relax knowing she would do her best with my case. I couldn’t be more grateful for her time and experience, and til this day I’ll still thank her for all of her work and having the best outcome for me.

Amazing result !

From our first conversation by phone, she reassured me of the best possible outcomes and established our goal. As a mother, she completely understood the resulting impact of the situation if not resolved correctly and the importance of a successful outcome. She quickly went to work and I was surpris...ed to hear from her within a couple of weeks that "All charges had been dropped" - AMAZING !

Dilligent, competent, and very personable

Vanessa stuck with my case despite many hurdles due to my past conviction, and the outcome far exceeded my expectations. She communicated with me from the very beginning and treated me as a client and family, not just another case in her work load. Her rates are reasonable and her dedication is unsur...passed compared to previous experiences with lawyers. She made a very dire situation in my life very tolerable through her personality and dedication to my case. She has my trust for any legal issues that I may have in the future

"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."
