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 as Super Lawyers and just two and a half percent as Rising Stars, making it a credible third-party signal of professional achievement. The selection process combines peer nominations, independent third-party research, and evaluation across a range of professional indicators, which adds weight to the honor and suggests that the firm's attorneys are held in high regard by their colleagues.
The 2026 Minnesota Super Lawyers include Carlo Faccini for Family Law, marking his first year on the list; Benjamin J. Heimerl for Workers' Compensation, his third consecutive year; Katie M. Lammers for Family Law, who was also named to the Top 100 Minnesota Super Lawyers for the fourth consecutive year; and Michael B. Lammers for Personal Injury General: Plaintiff, his seventh consecutive year. The 2026 Minnesota Rising Stars include 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 critical in family law, where clients often face complex emotional and legal challenges. The fact that multiple attorneys have been recognized for several consecutive years indicates sustained excellence rather than a one-time achievement.
"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 statement underscores that the honor is not just about individual accolades but also about the firm's collective commitment to client service. For potential clients, such recognition can serve as a useful indicator of an attorney's reputation and expertise, particularly in specialized areas like family law, workers' compensation, and personal injury.
