Minneapolis-based Tyroler Leonard Injury Law has been named the Gold winner in two categories at the 2026 Minnesota's Best awards, sponsored by the Star Tribune Media Company. The firm won Gold for both Best Law Firm and Best Personal Injury Law Firm, a recognition determined entirely by public vote.
Minnesota's Best is a community-driven awards program that begins with public nominations across hundreds of categories. After eligibility vetting, finalists compete during a multi-week voting period where residents can vote daily. Winners are published in an annual statewide guide. This year, Tyroler Leonard Injury Law secured top honors in two legal categories, underscoring its reputation among clients and the local community.
"We are incredibly thankful to everyone who took the time to nominate and vote for our firm," said Isaac Tyroler, co-founder. "Winning Gold in both categories means the world to us because it comes straight from our neighbors." The firm operates offices in Minneapolis and Oakdale, serving clients statewide in cases including car crashes, semi-truck collisions, motorcycle accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, brain injuries, and wrongful death claims.
The attorney team brings 62 years of combined legal experience and has secured over $75 million in settlements and verdicts for clients. Co-founder Rachel Sperling Leonard emphasized the firm's collaborative approach: "We do not look at our clients as just another file on a desk. We take a highly collaborative approach, meaning our clients have direct communication with their legal team throughout the whole process. We also prepare every single case as if it is going to a jury trial." This courtroom-ready strategy ensures that insurance companies recognize the firm's willingness to fight, which helps secure maximum results.
The award highlights a trend toward boutique firms that prioritize direct client access over large national operations. For families facing financial distress after accidents, Tyroler Leonard Injury Law works on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients pay no upfront costs and the firm only gets paid if they win. This model ensures access to quality legal help regardless of financial situation.
With the 2026 Gold awards, the firm plans to expand community outreach and continue advocating for injury victims across the Twin Cities and beyond. The recognition comes from the people the firm serves, reflecting deep trust in its legal team.
