Van Riper & Nies Attorneys

At Van Riper & Nies Attorneys, we have years of trial experience to fit the needs of our clients. Our West Palm Beach law firm provides personal injury, criminal defense, civil litigation, and family law and divorce representation to clients throughout Florida.

Our experienced trial lawyers work together to provide legal solutions with a client-centered focus. We know that every client has unique circumstances surrounding his or her legal problem, and we conduct thorough interviews and investigations so we can develop proactive legal strategies. Emergencies often arise outside of regular business hours, necessitating the services of a lawyer after hours and on weekends. Our lawyers provide clients with their cellphone numbers so they can be reached any time of day.

Christian Van Riper is a former Florida prosecutor, which gives him substantial insight into how prosecutors charge defendants and the strategies they use. Our team of attorneys can proactively defend individuals who have been charged with crimes. In addition, Christian brings a unique perspective into family law and divorce cases with his background as an investigator for the Department of Children and Families.

Tim Nies is a former U.S. Army Airborne Ranger as well as a former insurance defense lawyer. He was injured in the line of duty and understands the long road to recovery our personal injury clients face after they have been injured in accidents. As a former insurance defense lawyer, he knows how insurance companies analyze claims and the strategies they use to defend themselves against lawsuits. During law school, Tim clerked for one of the most well-known family law appellate attorneys in South Florida.

These experiences, combined with our focus on our clients' needs and objectives, allow our attorneys to anticipate potential issues to provide efficient trial solutions. Whether our clients are facing divorce, DUI charges or injuries caused by the negligence of another person, we leave no stone unturned, and we are serious about producing solutions for our clients' problems.
