Heimerl & Lammers announced that nine of its attorneys have been selected for the 2026 Minnesota Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists, a peer-driven honor administered by Thomson Reuters that recognizes no more than five percent of attorneys in the state for Super Lawyers and two and a half percent for Rising Stars. The recognition matters because it signals independent, peer-based validation of the firm's legal talent across family law, workers' compensation, and personal injury, reinforcing its competitive standing in Minnesota's legal market.
The selection process combines peer nominations, independent third-party research, and evaluation across a range of professional achievement indicators, making it one of the more credible third-party signals in the legal industry. For clients, such honors can serve as a useful benchmark when choosing representation, while for the firm, they reflect sustained professional credibility and peer respect.
Attorneys named to the 2026 Minnesota Super Lawyers list include Carlo Faccini for Family Law (1st year), Benjamin J. Heimerl for Workers' Compensation (3rd consecutive year), Katie M. Lammers for Family Law (Top 100 Minnesota Super Lawyers, 4th consecutive year), and Michael B. Lammers for Personal Injury General: Plaintiff (7th consecutive year). The 2026 Minnesota Rising Stars list includes Heather Y. Hamilton for Family Law (1st year), Hunter N. Kinsey for Family Law (3rd consecutive year), Courtney E. Latcham for Family Law (5th consecutive year), Kyle Prouty for Family Law (5th consecutive year), and Ingrid Wahlquist for Workers' Compensation (2nd consecutive year).
Katie Lammers' nomination to the Top 100 Minnesota recognition reflects a long record of peer respect and professional credibility in family law. She brings substantial experience in litigation, trial work, appellate matters, and mediation to every case she takes on. Her inclusion in the Top 100 list, alongside the broader firm-wide recognitions, underscores the depth of experience available at Heimerl & Lammers and may enhance client confidence in the firm's ability to handle complex family law matters.
"This kind of recognition reflects the work our attorneys put in every day for clients," said Michael Lammers, Partner at Heimerl & Lammers. "We're proud of the entire group." His statement highlights that the honors are not merely individual accolades but also evidence of a firm culture focused on client service and professional excellence.
The implications of these announcements extend beyond prestige. In a competitive legal market, Super Lawyers and Rising Stars designations can influence client decisions, attorney recruitment, and referral networks. For Heimerl & Lammers, having multiple attorneys recognized across different practice areas demonstrates bench strength and continuity, which is particularly important for clients seeking long-term representation in family law, workers' compensation, and personal injury cases.
