We practice in personal injury law, family and divorce law, criminal defense, maritime law and civil litigation. Our trial attorneys provide comprehensive trial services focused on placing our clients in the best possible position for successful outcomes. We leave not stone unturned and we care about winning.
As a cohesive team, we work closely with clients to identify their needs and objectives, and then we craft individual legal strategies while remaining accessible to our clients. Our lawyers provide clients with cell phone numbers to call after hours and on weekends because we understand that emergencies are not limited to office hours.
The backgrounds of our attorneys set them apart from other attorneys in Delray Beach. Christian Van Riper is a former prosecutor for the State of Florida. Because he knows how prosecutors try criminal cases, he can create unique and proactive legal strategies for our criminal defense clients. Before becoming an attorney, he was an investigator with the Department of Children & Families (DCF), giving him a unique perspective into not only criminal cases, but also family law and divorce cases.
Tim Nies is a U.S. Army Ranger Veteran, having served with the 75th Ranger Regiment, and a former insurance defense casualty attorney representing Fortune 500 companies. Injured in the line of duty during a parachute mission, Tim worked hard to recover from his physical injuries. His experiences provide him with a valuable insight into the daily struggles of people who have been injured due to the recklessness of others. He has a deep understanding of the policies and tactics used by insurance companies and fights for the rights of our clients. During law school, Tim was a law clerk for a well-known South Florida appellate family law attorney.
Now as personal injury, criminal defense, civil litigation and divorce and family law attorneys, Tim and Christian use their unique past experiences to analyze cases using different perspectives. They are able to identify potential issues that may occur with each case and create proactive strategies. If necessary, Ti and Christian, will take their clients' cases to trial. That is, after all, what they are hired to do.
Our firm proudly offers discounted legal fees (20% discount) for honorably discharged veterans.
