I grew up in Palmer Township, just southeast of St. Cloud, MN. After attending St. Cloud State University to receive a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice Studies, I worked as a juvenile probation officer, construction laborer and paralegal before returning to school to receive my law degree from Hamline University School of Law. Prior to opening Wipper Law and Custody Evaluation Center, PLLC, I worked in several areas around the state, most recently in Brainerd, MN for four and half years. I have worked on a wide varierty of cases including family law, criminal law, child protection, civil cases, guardianship/conservatorship, gun rights restorations, etc.
Outside of practicing law, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two children. When we aren't running around or playing with the kids, I enjoy outdoor activities and sports.

I hired Andrew to handle a tough divorce for me and my wife. We had struggled along for quite some time before we made the difficult decision to hire a lawyer to help us through the divorce.

Great criminal defense attorney
Andrew was not the first attorney I have ever worked with, but he is definitely the best. My DUI case was tough, but he got me a fair deal, and took the stress out of the process. Andrew knew how to get my license back as soon as possible which let me keep my job.
