DM Injury Law has announced that 20 of its attorneys have been selected for inclusion in the 2026 Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists across Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma. The annual selections, conducted by Thomson Reuters rating service Super Lawyers, recognize lawyers from more than 70 practice areas based on peer recognition and professional achievement. The selection methodology uses a multiphase process that incorporates statewide peer nominations, independent research evaluations, and practice area peer reviews.
Under the program's criteria, no more than 5% of lawyers in a state or region are named to the Super Lawyers list, and no more than 2.5% are selected to the Rising Stars list, which is designated for attorneys who are 40 years old or younger, or in practice for 10 years or less. Candidates are evaluated using 12 indicators, including verdicts and settlements, representative clients, transactions, experience, pro bono and community service, scholarly lectures and writings, honors and awards, educational background, bar or professional activity, and special licenses or certifications. Because the evaluation process incorporates both peer evaluations and research, inclusion on the annual list reflects professional activity and case results within the region.
The selection includes attorneys from DM Injury Law's offices in Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma. For the 2026 Missouri & Kansas Super Lawyers list, the Kansas City office honorees are Michael V. DiPasquale, Jason B. Moore, Blaine E. Dickeson, David Johnson, and Ryan Watson. For the 2026 Missouri, Kansas & Oklahoma Rising Stars list, the Kansas City office honorees are Hyemin Byun, Devin Glasgow, Ashley Hart, Todd Lucas, Tristan Medlin, Spencer T. Phillips, Michael Propst, Robert E. Simmon, Ethan G. Scherer, Garrett Tuck, Drew Ward, Kelly St. John, and Taylor Sloan. The St. Louis office honoree is Matthew Sain, and the Oklahoma City office honoree is Chad Nelson.
