Compassionate, hard-working, and dedicated, Van Riper & Nies, a US Army Ranger veteran-owned Floria criminal defense law firm, is committed to protecting your legal and constitutional rights when you are accused of committing a crime.
Legal Warriors
Christian Van Riper, the head of our criminal defense practice, 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. Together, our criminal defense attorneys make a formidable team that will fight hard to win your case.
Our Approach
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. Our criminal attorneys are committed to professional service, skilled representation, and reasonable rates. Our criminal trial attorneys fully prepare every client for every court appearance. We regularly work with clients on easy payment plan arrangements, and we pay such careful attention to each case that all our clients have our personal cell numbers. Our criminal defense and DUI defense attorneys outwork prosecutors.
Act Now
When choosing representation 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.
