Georgia Attorney at Law
JOHN FREDERICK NEBL - (Vietnam Combat Veteran):
In early
2004, John Nebl filed a Motion for Reconsideration in Coweta County
Superior Court on behalf of Jere Beery. Beery was contesting Judge Allen
Keeble's divorce court ruling which ordered Beery to pay his ex-wife
$24,000 from his VA disability compensation. In 2005, John Nebl
deliberately sabotaged Jere Beery's appeal by not appearing in court, or
notifying Mr. Beery of the required court date. Although, Nebl was
Beery's attorney of record, Nebl claimed that he had talked to Judge
Keeble and had decided Beery's motion was not worth pursuing. Instead of
advising Beery he wasn't going to represent Beery's best interest, Nebl
just let the court date run out. A formal grievance was filed with the
Georgia Bar Association and a seven month investigation of ethics
violations by Nebl was conducted. The grievance was quietly dismissed by
the GBA without explanation or justification.
In addition, John Nebl
has refused to return personal items entrusted to him by his client, Jere
Beery.
