Heimerl & Lammers announced that nine of its attorneys have been named to the 2026 Minnesota Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists, a peer-driven honor administered by Thomson Reuters. The selection process recognizes 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 recognition matters because it underscores the firm's depth of talent and its standing among peers in key practice areas such as family law, workers' compensation, and personal injury.
The 2026 Minnesota Super Lawyers list includes Carlo Faccini for Family Law, marking his first year on the list. Benjamin J. Heimerl is recognized for Workers' Compensation for the third consecutive year. Katie M. Lammers is named for Family Law and also received the Top 100 Minnesota Super Lawyers distinction for the fourth consecutive year. Michael B. Lammers is honored for Personal Injury General: Plaintiff for the seventh consecutive year. These repeat recognitions suggest sustained peer respect and professional credibility, which can influence how potential clients evaluate a firm's track record.
The 2026 Minnesota Rising Stars list features Heather Y. Hamilton for Family Law, her 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. The Rising Stars designation is reserved for attorneys who are either 40 years old or younger or have been in practice for 10 years or fewer, highlighting emerging leaders in the firm.
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 significant because family law matters often involve complex emotional and financial issues that require both courtroom skill and sensitivity.
"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 emphasizes that the honors are not merely accolades but a reflection of consistent client service and legal expertise.
The Super Lawyers selection process combines peer nominations, independent third-party research, and evaluation across a range of professional achievement indicators. This multi-step approach helps ensure that the attorneys recognized have demonstrated excellence in their respective fields. For clients seeking legal representation, such third-party validation can be a useful factor in choosing a firm.
