Van Riper and Nies Attorneys

Probation Violations

Van Riper & Nies Law merges aggressive representation, experience and open communications as we fight for justice for our clients.

Our attorney and former Florida prosecutor, Christian Van Riper, is experienced in representing defendants charged with violation of probation (VOP) offenses in Palm Beach County.

When you are placed on probation, you are told of the rules you must follow, or abide by, while you are on probation. If you violate the conditions by intentionally or materially violating the rules, your probation could be violated. A probation officer will complete an affidavit requesting the judge to sign a warrant for your arrest. Thereafter, you may be kept in jail pending the results of a violation or bond hearing.

If you are found guilty of violating the terms, or rules, of your probation, a judge can sentence you to the maximum penalty you faced before being placed on probation, including prison or jail. It is critical that you have an experienced criminal attorney represent you at your violation of probation hearing.

Our attorneys, Christian Van Riper, a former prosecutor and Department of Children & Families investigator, and Timothy Nies, a military veteran and former insurance company trial attorney, are experienced litigators. Our firm strives to provide professional, prompt efficient and economical legal services to each every client. We try all criminal defense cases as a powerful, and closely-knit, trial team.
