Legal Warriors
Christian Van Riper, the head of our criminal defense practice at Van Riper and Nies Attorneys, spent years as a prosecutor for the state of Florida. He has litigated a myriad of criminal cases, argued motions and appeals on a great variety of issues, and conducted jury and non-jury trials dealing with crimes ranging from DUIs to murder. As a former prosecutor, Christian knows how the other side thinks, giving him a valuable edge in the courtroom and the perspective needed to defend any case. Christian is known for leaving no stone unturned and for being a legal warrior for his clients.
Christian’s partner at Van Riper & Nies, Tim Nies, is a U.S. Army Ranger veteran and insurance company casualty attorney well-versed in complex trial cases. We offer a discount to all military veterans.
My Approach as a Florida Criminal Defense Lawyer
Van Riper & Nies Attorneys, P.A., and its Florida criminal defense lawyers are known by prosecutors, clients, and fellow defense counsel for being aggressive and steadfast when defending our clients’ freedom, and for being available day or night to clients. As a Florida criminal defense lawyer, I am committed to professional service, skilled representation, and reasonable rates. My legal team and I fully prepare every client for every court appearance. I regularly work with clients on easy payment plan arrangements, and I pay such careful attention to each case that all our clients have our personal cell numbers. As a criminal defense lawyer and a DUI defense attorney, I strive to outwork prosecutors.
Act Now
When choosing a Florida criminal defense lawyer for yourself or a loved one in a criminal case, it is critical to take immediate action. Delay in retaining a criminal defense attorney may harm your case and your chances for a favorable resolution. Consulting a qualified criminal defense attorney, who is trial savvy in criminal defense law, early on can help protect your freedom and liberty. In fact, if you hire a criminal defense lawyer early before bail is set by the court, a lawyer may convince the judge to reduce your bail. Our criminal defense law firm has offices in Boca Raton, Deerfield Beach, Delray Beach, West Palm Beach, and Stuart, Florida.
