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 underscores the firm's depth of talent and its standing among legal peers in Minnesota. Super Lawyers recognizes no more than five percent of attorneys in the state, while Rising Stars honors no more than two and a half percent, making the selections 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 achievement indicators. This rigorous methodology adds weight to the honor, as it reflects both the respect of colleagues and objective criteria. For clients seeking legal representation, such recognition can serve as a useful indicator of an attorney's reputation and experience.
Four attorneys were named to the 2026 Minnesota Super Lawyers list. Carlo Faccini was recognized in Family Law for the first time. Benjamin J. Heimerl was honored in Workers' Compensation for the third consecutive year. Katie M. Lammers was named in Family Law and also received the Top 100 Minnesota Super Lawyers distinction for the fourth consecutive year. Michael B. Lammers was recognized in Personal Injury General: Plaintiff for the seventh consecutive year.
Five attorneys were named to the 2026 Minnesota Rising Stars list. Heather Y. Hamilton was recognized in Family Law for the first time. Hunter N. Kinsey was honored in Family Law for the third consecutive year. Courtney E. Latcham was recognized in Family Law for the fifth consecutive year. Kyle Prouty was named in Family Law for the fifth consecutive year. Ingrid Wahlquist was honored in Workers' Compensation for the 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. Her repeated inclusion in the Top 100 list signals sustained excellence in a highly competitive field.
"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 implications of this announcement extend beyond individual accolades. For Heimerl & Lammers, having nine attorneys honored across two prestigious lists demonstrates a firm-wide commitment to high standards. It also reinforces the firm's ability to attract and retain top legal talent, which can translate into better outcomes for clients.
