Timothy Nies, who was injured in the line-of-duty during a parachute mission with the 75th Ranger Regiment, and Christian Van Riper, a lifelong resident of Martin County, understand that the tough economic conditions make it difficult for many to afford quality representation in criminal defense cases, especially for active duty military service members and veterans. According to Timothy Nies: "from now through the end of 2011, our law firm gladly offers not only free legal advice for all active duty military personnel and veterans honorably-discharged from the service, but also a 20 percent discount in our legal fees ,in all criminal defense cases, to ensure that those who have served our country, or are serving our country, are able to afford a top-notch criminal defense." In addition, Van Riper and Nies offers convenient financing through payment plans for all clients, including veterans and service members.

To receive the veteran discount, all veterans need to do is mention the special discount when making an appointment to speak with the firm's criminal defense attorneys, and to bring with them to the appointment a copy of their DD-214, military ID, Veterans Administration ID, membership documention with the Disabled American Veterans (DAV), Amerigan Legion, or some other documention showing that they served, or are serving, in either the U.S. Army, Marines, Air Force, Navy or the Coast Guard.

The significant 20% discount applies to all federal or state felony and misdemeanor criminal defense matters.
