Heimerl & Lammers announced that nine of its attorneys have been selected for the 2026 Minnesota Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists. The recognition, administered by Thomson Reuters, is peer-driven and honors no more than five percent of attorneys in Minnesota as Super Lawyers and two and a half percent as Rising Stars. This matters because it signals exceptional professional achievement and credibility in a competitive legal market, potentially influencing client choices and reinforcing the firm's reputation.
The selection process combines peer nominations, independent third-party research, and evaluation across various professional achievement indicators. This rigorous methodology makes the honor one of the more credible third-party signals in the legal industry. For clients seeking legal representation, such recognition can serve as a valuable indicator of an attorney's standing among peers and their commitment to excellence.
In the 2026 Minnesota Super Lawyers list, Carlo Faccini is recognized for Family Law for the first time. Benjamin J. Heimerl is honored for Workers' Compensation for the third consecutive year. Katie M. Lammers is named to Family Law and also to the Top 100 Minnesota Super Lawyers list for the fourth consecutive year. Michael B. Lammers is recognized for Personal Injury General: Plaintiff for the seventh consecutive year.
The 2026 Minnesota Rising Stars list includes Heather Y. Hamilton for Family Law (first year), Hunter N. Kinsey for Family Law (third consecutive year), Courtney E. Latcham for Family Law (fifth consecutive year), Kyle Prouty for Family Law (fifth consecutive year), and Ingrid Wahlquist for Workers' Compensation (second 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. This depth of experience is crucial in family law, where complex emotional and financial issues often require skilled advocacy and alternative dispute resolution.
"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."
The firm's consistent presence on these lists across multiple years demonstrates a sustained commitment to legal excellence. For individuals facing family law, workers' compensation, or personal injury matters, choosing an attorney with such peer recognition can provide confidence in their legal representation.
