About Nicholas
Nicholas Plopper began his academic path in the Midwest, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Telecommunications from Indiana University Bloomington in 1999 and later a Juris Doctor from California Western School of Law in 2006. His educational background spans both communications and law, giving him an analytical edge when cases require attention to technical detail or regulatory nuance.
After law school Plopper entered private practice and established a steady presence in Indiana legal circles. He is admitted to practice in Indiana and in the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, which allows him to handle matters that move beyond trial courts to the federal appellate level. Over the years he has combined courtroom work and advisory matters, and he has stayed active in professional and civic organizations that intersect with his practice interests.
Plopper’s professional affiliations include membership in Wealth Counsel since 2017 and service on the Carmel Clay Board of Parks and Recreation since 2016. Wealth Counsel is an association of attorneys who concentrate on estate planning, and his participation there points to ongoing engagement with the estate planning community and continuing legal education on related topics. His long tenure on the parks board reflects involvement in municipal matters and local governance, where legal, planning and policy issues frequently overlap.
He practices through Plopper & Partners LLP. At the firm he handles matters that originate in Indiana courts and, when cases require it, proceed to the Seventh Circuit. He draws on his telecommunications background and legal training when matters involve regulatory questions, records issues, or technical evidence. His work balances client counseling with representation in contested matters, depending on what each case requires.
Colleagues and clients see him as a practitioner who combines experience in state and federal practice with community involvement. He maintains an active role in local civic life while continuing professional education through his association memberships. He focuses his practice on estate planning and related matters in Indiana and the Seventh Circuit.
