Hired attorney , anonymous Feb. 25, 2018

Knowledgeable and professional attorney

I hired Christian from Van Riper & Nies attorneys to represent my uncle in a DUI case. He was very knowledgeable, and he helped my uncle achieve the best outcome possible. He always returned our phone calls, and kept us up to date with any new information. He is very down to earth and easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend Christian to anyone I care about that is in need of an attorney.

Great and honest attorney

Christian is the best lawyer that I know. He would always get back to me quickly whenever I had questions about my case. He will not sugarcoat things or tell you what you want to hear to get you to pay his retainer. He will give you his honest opinion about your case. That being said, I could not have gotten a better result than what Christian got me.

Grossly Incompetent, unskilled, unprofessional and lacked any follow up

I hired Christian in my domestic battery case and he had assured me early on that my sentence would be reasonable. I went 13 weeks at one point with him not accepting one of my calls while I was incarcerated. He also missed multiple appointments during my time incarcerated. Despite my reluctance to follow his advice in hiring a psychiatrist and paying $1,500.00 for an evaluation I did. Christian said verbatim "if you pay the fee the psychiatrist will say what we need him to". Once the psychiatrist completed the report I was advised by the psychiatrist office that Christian never even followed up on obtaining the report. At my sentencing after Christian failed miserably to have my felony withheld he walked out of the courtroom without even saying anything to me or discussing an appeal. He is a poor excuse for a lawyer and should not be in litigation.

Great Attorney, incredible results!

Mr. Van Riper genuinely listened and spoke about my family law case, and the options I had. After speaking with many attorney's, Mr. Van Riper's consultation was thorough enough to avoid going to court. I can't thank you enough, and will definitely make referrals to this law firm.

Very Dedicated Lawyer

I hired Christian to defend me against criminal charges that I was facing. The case lasted for several months. Christian would always get back to me quickly whenever I had questions, and he worked hard to get the charges dropped. He's a wonderful attorney and person.

Stellar Attorney

Where do I begin? Mr. VanRiper is wonderful. He answers every phone call and email, so refreshing! He will give you all the information you need, and answer every question. I used his services for legal advice and he really does want the best outcome for you. From the first moment I met him, I knew I wanted him as my lawyer. Hire him as your lawyer, you will not regret it.

An Attorney who will rip you off

Hired him and the first problem I had was when I left the office I thought his rate was $250 per hour and asked him to provide a monthly accounting and never received one ever, and I was not happy with his lack of response to my communication and not doing what he said so I terminated him and hired another attorney and after giving him a $6400 he refused to refund the balance after doing 2 hearings and 1 deposition. He is a nice guy but when you take $6400 for a couple hours work that we agreed on $250 per hour that makes him a crook in my book

Excellent experience !

Christian Van Riper's knowledge of the law and court side manner are outstanding ! Where I would like to applause Mr. Van Riper, is his compassion and understanding when it comes to handling the sensitive nature of family cases. I appreciated his ability to keep me centered and focused during a very emotional time. I highly recommend him and his very courteous and helpful staff.

Wonderful Attorney who truly cares

Not only is this man a very good attorney, but he make you feel at ease. He is very patient and is genuinely a good guy. I had bad experiences with other attorneys that would literally kick me when i was down. Unfortunately that is a common tactic used by criminal lawyers. They throw what ever you got arrested for in your face and intimidate you. NOT Christian, he is a standup man.

I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Christian when he was a prosecutor at the State Attorney's Office. He was (and still is) one of the best trial lawyers on the Treasure Coast. He is never afraid to go to trial and fight for his clients. Moreover, Christian's knowledge of the law and ability to spot issues that other lawyers may overlook is second to none. I highly recommend Christian Van Riper to help you in your time of need.

I have known Christian Van Riper for approximately 5 years. We were opposing counsel many times when he was a prosecutor, and I have had the opportunity to see his transition into private practice. He is a knowlegeable, zealous advocate who strives to do his best for his clients.

I endorse this lawyer. Christian and I were prosecutors in the same office together, and we are now colleagues, and I also consider him a friend. Christian is a diligent, competent attorney who always zealously advocates his client's causes. I would trust him to handle a matter for a friend or family member. Christian is especially good at getting a continuance when more time is needed to defend a case properly.

anonymous

I endorse this lawyer. Christian as highly qualified Criminal Defense and Personal Injury Skills. He has a great combination of people skills and courtroom skills!

I endorse Chris. He fits into many of the roles asked of me to describe. He worked with my on a complex injury case many years ago, while he was still in law shool. Among other tasks, he located and interviewed witnesses - he did an incredible job. We've talked about opening our own firm for years. Chris is the lawyer that everyone likes - from judicial assistants and bailiffs, prosecutors, fellow attorneys, and judges. He is also an excellent writer. He did so well at Stetson College of Law, that he was chosen to intern as a law clerk for the Florida Supreme Court. I know that very few are chosen for this honor. Chris and I recently formed our own firm. He is a very compassionate and skilled criminal defense attorney. He spends as much time with his clients as they need. He tirelessly prepares every case, both criminal and civil.
