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. The recognition is significant because it identifies no more than five percent of attorneys in Minnesota for Super Lawyers and two and a half percent for Rising Stars, making it one of the more credible third-party signals in the legal industry.
The selection process combines peer nominations, independent third-party research, and evaluation across a range of professional achievement indicators. This methodology underscores the credibility of the honor and reinforces the firm's reputation for legal excellence.
For 2026, the Minnesota Super Lawyers list includes Carlo Faccini (Family Law, first year), Benjamin J. Heimerl (Workers' Compensation, third consecutive year), Katie M. Lammers (Family Law, Top 100 Minnesota Super Lawyers, fourth consecutive year), and Michael B. Lammers (Personal Injury General: Plaintiff, seventh consecutive year). The Rising Stars list includes Heather Y. Hamilton (Family Law, first year), Hunter N. Kinsey (Family Law, third consecutive year), Courtney E. Latcham (Family Law, fifth consecutive year), Kyle Prouty (Family Law, fifth consecutive year), and Ingrid Wahlquist (Workers' Compensation, second consecutive year).
Katie Lammers's 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 repeated inclusion on the Top 100 list highlights her standing among Minnesota's legal community.
"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 demonstrates its commitment to maintaining high standards across its practice areas.
The implications of this announcement extend beyond individual accolades. For clients seeking legal representation, the Super Lawyers and Rising Stars designations provide an independent validation of an attorney's skill and peer reputation. In family law, workers' compensation, and personal injury, where outcomes can significantly affect clients' lives, such recognition can guide individuals in choosing experienced counsel.
For Heimerl & Lammers, the broad representation across multiple attorneys and practice areas signals institutional strength rather than isolated achievement. It suggests a firm culture that fosters professional growth and peer respect, which can attract both clients and top legal talent. In a competitive legal market, these honors may enhance the firm's visibility and credibility.
