About Drew
Drew Epperly practices law in the Upper Midwest. He brings a straightforward approach to client work and to courtroom matters. Colleagues describe him as practical and exacting, someone who prepares thoroughly and presents plainly.
Epperly earned a Bachelor of Science from Marshall University before attending West Virginia University College of Law, where he received his J.D. His academic path combined a broad undergraduate foundation with formal legal training, giving him familiarity with both technical and procedural aspects of litigation.
He began building his practice across state lines. Epperly is admitted to practice in Minnesota and North Dakota. Early in his career he took on roles that moved him between firms and courtroom responsibilities. In 2019 he became a partner at Sand Law, taking on greater management and case-responsibility duties. That role sharpened his skills in supervising teams and handling complex files that required coordination among attorneys and clients.
After partnership, Epperly moved into firm leadership. He now serves as the managing lawyer at Nicolet Law Office, S.C. In that capacity he handles both administrative oversight and active client matters. The managing role has him balancing office operations, client intake, and case strategy. He remains involved in litigation while overseeing how the office allocates resources and trains junior lawyers.
His practice covers civil litigation and related dispute resolution. He has handled matters through trial and has experience drafting dispositive motions, taking and defending depositions, and arguing in court. Clients who need steady courtroom representation have relied on him for careful preparation. He also works on pretrial negotiation and settlements when those paths serve client goals.
Epperly’s work style leans toward clarity. He favors careful fact-gathering early in a matter. He writes to make legal points readable and to provide judges and opposing counsel a clear view of the case posture. That approach has shaped how he manages files and mentors less experienced lawyers in the office.
Outside of active casework he has taken on responsibilities that come with firm leadership, including supervising staff and refining office procedures. He balances those duties with an ongoing docket, often stepping into trial work while guiding litigation strategy across clients.
He practices from Nicolet Law Office, S.C., where his work combines litigation, client counseling, and firm management. His current practice focuses on litigation and trial representation in Minnesota and North Dakota.
