"We provide solutions for our clients' problems..."




Van Riper and Nies Attorneys are known for their proactive litigation style, personal service and open communications when fighting for their clients' rights.

Van Riper and Nies is a military veteran-owned law firm led by attorney Christian Van Riper, a former Florida Assistant State Attorney and a Department of Children and Families (DCF) Investigator, and attorney Timothy Nies, a former U.S. Army Ranger and former insurance company casualty trial attorney.

To thank those that make sacrifices for our country and community, our law firm proudly offers a 20% discount on our family law legal fees for all:

- active-duty military personnel.
- veterans.
- law enforcement officers.
- firefighters.


The life and work experiences of our attorneys distinguishes them from other family law attorneys. Christian Van Riper, a lifelong resident of Stuart, was an investigator with DCF prior to attending law school. In that capacity, he investigated allegations and cases of child neglect and abuse. While attending Stetson University College of Law, where he graduated in the top of his class, he served as a Law Clerk for the Supreme Court of Florida, where he advised Supreme Court Justices on criminal and civil issues, including family law issues. After law school, Christian served as an Assistant State Attorney, where he prosecuted cases of domestic abuse and juvenile crimes, among others. As a prosecutor, with a heavy case load, Christian honed his jury trial skills and learned to work quickly and smartly under pressure. His experience as both a DCF investigator and a prosecutor provides him with unique insight into issues facing family and the field of family law. 

Attorney Timothy Nies, a former U.S. Army Ranger with the elite 75th Ranger Regiment, attended Nova Southeastern University. While in law school, Timothy clerked for one of the most well-known family law attorneys in South Florida. Thereafter, he worked for the largest insurance defense law firm as a senior casualty trial attorney, where he polished his trial skills.

Christian and Timothy, who are cousins, litigate and try each family law case as a powerful and close-knit litigation team. They are known for their trial skills, and for leaving no stone unturned when fighting for their clients' rights.


Our family law practice includes:

- Divorce Actions, contested and uncontested,
- Child Support,
- Child Neglect,
- Child Visitation
- Domestic Violence - we represent spouses requiring restraining orders,
- Paternity Tests,
- Relocation, and
- Prenuptial Agreements.


Given Christian Van Riper's experience as a DCF investigator, we are sensitive to issues involving children. Divorce and child custody proceedings are particularly stressful to young children. The stress of a drawn-out and ugly dissolution of marriage and custody battle may result in problems at school, resentment, and psychological disturbances.

We, more than many other firms, will strive to keep the best interests of our clients' children the primary focus of our family law practice. Our goal is to come up with a solution to each and every family law case quickly and economically. According to firm attorney, Timothy Nies, who himself has gone through a divorce: "In my opinion, large amounts of money spent on lawyers' fees in a long divorce proceeding when kids are involved is a problem. In the end, a large amount of money spent on attorneys' fees by both parties in a long divorce case would have been better spent on the future of the parties' children; therefore, Christian and I strive to completing the dissolution of marriage as quickly, economically and justly as possible."
