Van Riper and Nies Attorneys is a premier veteran-owned law firm serving Delray Beach, Palm Beach County, and clients worldwide facing federal injury matters. Founded by Tim Nies, an elite U.S. Army Ranger veteran and former insurance defense trial attorney, and Christian Van Riper, a former Florida state prosecutor and child welfare investigator, the firm operates with unmatched discipline, tactical precision, and unwavering devotion to client success.

Multidisciplinary Legal Practice Areas
Our Delray Beach legal practice provides battle-tested representation across several complex areas of civil and criminal law:
- Car accident lawyers and motor vehicle collisions: Holding distracted, intoxicated, and reckless drivers fully accountable to recover past and future medical costs, lost income, and pain and suffering.
- Truck accident lawyers: Investigating commercial freight carriers, driver logbook falsifications, and federal safety violations following severe highway collisions.
- Slip and fall injury lawyers: Representing victims injured by hazardous premises conditions, wet floors, and inadequate commercial property maintenance.
- Defense Base Act and maritime injury claims: Championing injured private military contractors, overseas government personnel, and longshore harbor workers under federal workers compensation statutes.
- Criminal defense lawyers: Formulating aggressive defense tactics for felony and misdemeanor accusations, drug charges, weapons allegations, and domestic violence charges.
- DUI defense lawyers: Challenging unlawful traffic stops, faulty field sobriety tests, and breathalyzer calibrations to protect driver licenses and avoid criminal records.
- Divorce and family law lawyers: Providing assertive courtroom representation in complex contested divorces, parental time-sharing schedules, child support calculations, and marital asset division.
- Wrongful death lawyers: Seeking justice, accountability, and maximum compensation for grieving families who have suffered the tragic loss of a loved one.
Transparent Representation with No Fee Unless We Win
Every case brings unique challenges that demand tailored strategy rather than standard templates. Injured individuals who need to hire a lawyer for personal injury or maritime claims pay nothing upfront; we work on a contingency fee schedule where attorney fees are collected only when we recover compensation. Central Florida residents seeking to find an attorney who pairs compassion with tenacious courtroom strength benefit from our team deep knowledge of insurance tactics and criminal procedures.
Located conveniently on Southeast 2nd Avenue in downtown Delray Beach, our office is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Contact Van Riper and Nies Attorneys today to schedule your complimentary legal consultation and discover how true lawyer warriors can protect your rights.
