Minneapolis, Minnesota — Nicolet Law is proud to announce that four of our attorneys have been named to the 2025 Minnesota Super Lawyers Rising Stars list. This recognition highlights the remarkable dedication, legal talent, and client-first approach that defines our team across the Midwest.
Super Lawyers, part of Thomson Reuters, is a peer-nominated, research-driven list that is published annually. The Super Lawyers list recognizes no more than five percent of practicing attorneys in each state, while the Rising Stars list highlights outstanding attorneys under 40 or with fewer than 10 years of legal experience—representing just 2.5% of attorneys statewide.
- Lindsay Lien, Injury & Food Safety Attorney
- Drew Epperly, Partner
- Ryan Muir, Personal Injury Attorney
- Nicholas Angel, Personal Injury Attorney
Now in her seventh consecutive year of Rising Stars recognition, Lindsay Lien is known for her tenacity and compassion, particularly in complex technical or scientific injury cases. She has secured seven- and eight-figure results for her clients and earned widespread praise from both peers and clients. Her work in food safety, product liability, and wrongful death cases continues to raise the bar
Epperly earns dual recognition for the third consecutive year. A driven and empathetic attorney hailing from West Virginia, Epperly’s workhorse mentality and deep commitment to clients shape every aspect of his legal approach. Since joining Nicolet Law in 2023, he’s expanded our reach into North Dakota and launched the firm’s motorcycle division—a personal mission shaped by surviving a motorcycle accident and losing his stepfather to one.
Recognized in both Minnesota and Wisconsin, Muir adds a 2025 Rising Star distinction in Minnesota to his growing list of accolades. Since pivoting to personal injury in 2019, Muir has channeled his diverse legal background and strong client focus into powerful results. We’re honored to have him on the team.
Now a two-time honoree, Angel continues to earn client trust through clear communication and a steady, tireless legal approach. A graduate of William Mitchell College of Law, he’s committed to achieving the best outcomes for injured Minnesotans.
We’re incredibly proud to have each of these attorneys representing Nicolet Law across the region. Their recognition reflects the firm’s mission: to stand up for individuals and families when they need it most.
