Christian Van Riper's knowledge of the law and court side manner are outstanding ! Where I would…read morelike 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.

We found Van Riper and Nies through online reviews. We called and scheduled a consultation free of…read morecharge! Both were VERY helpful about the Florida court process and knowledgeable in all aspects of defense. Coming from Texas we were not familiar with the Florida Judicial system. My husband and I were very discouraged and upset by the false charges against him. Christian and Tim's knowledge of the Criminal Florida court system and investigative skills truly pulled us through a very difficult situation. They were extremely helpful and efficient in resolving questions that we had. I was surprised by their accessibility. Anytime we had a question, and trust me we had many, they responded quickly. I truly had begun to doubt the judicial system, but they stepped up explained the process and plainly described our options and outcomes. Our stress levels were exponentially reduced by their representation. They never embellished the truth or gave us "false promises". We clearly knew what we were up against and that honesty and forth right knowledge helped us take the right path during our case. I am proud to say that Van Riper and Nies helped us receive the appropriate/ justifiable "Not Guilty" ruling. Thank you Christian and Tim for your dedication to details, and vested interest in our case! I would recommend you both to anyone!!

It turned out that this wasn't "their first rodeo" with the facility I had been admitted too. It was a nightmare. Thank you so much. EC

Mr Gufford, is a bad lawyer. He comes across as caring and compassionate ONLY until you give him…read moremoney, and then he is unresponsive and doesn't do what is in the best interests of the client. In my case he did nothing - but kept the money. Literally nothing - other than file a 'notice of appearance'. I fired him after a month into the case and he kept 100% of the retainer money which was $8100. My story: My wife's sister is 74 years old suffers from dementia and was in a divorce from her husband of 27 years. She gets 700 a month in social security, was abused by her husband and about to be homeless on the street, from a very badly structured settlement she agreed to though coercion. I hired Gufford to get her bad settlement agreement re-negotiated. He did literally nothing. I contacted the opposing party myself and by threatening litigation they agreed to modify the settlement agreement. I then asked Gufford to finalize the NEW settlement agreement. Again nothing. He never responded to me, and more days went by. As anyone knows who has ever negotiated anything, when parties agree to a settlement, you need to move quickly to "seal the deal". Again, Gufford could care less about it. He had his money. When I did finally reach him in a phone call... he barely remembered what the facts of the case were, and I had to explain to him what I wanted him to do, which was contact the Petitioner's representatives and finalize the agreement. Guess what happened next - NOTHING. He never picked up the phone or contacted them. Another week goes by and the opposition changed their mind and started adding more things to the deal. By this time after all this lost momentum, I was completely frustrated and realized I had made a gigantic mistake hiring Gufford. He is not only a bad lawyer, but he also doesn't care one iota about his client. So, I fired him. He still has all my retainer money and after numerous requests has not make one effort to return any of it. I plan on filing a complaint with the State bar and will next hire a Attorney to go after him that specializes in unethical lawyer cases.
