DM Injury Law has announced that 20 of its attorneys have been named to the 2026 Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists across Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma. The annual recognition, published by Thomson Reuters, identifies outstanding lawyers based on peer recognition and professional achievement. According to the firm, the selection underscores the attorneys' dedication to personal injury law and their success in obtaining favorable outcomes for clients.
The Super Lawyers list includes no more than 5% of attorneys in a state, while the Rising Stars list includes no more than 2.5% of lawyers who are 40 years old or younger or in practice for 10 years or less. Candidates are evaluated using 12 indicators, including verdicts and settlements, client representation, experience, pro bono work, scholarly writings, honors, education, and bar activities. This rigorous process ensures that only top-performing lawyers receive the designation.
This year, five attorneys from the Kansas City office were named to the Missouri & Kansas Super Lawyers list: Michael V. DiPasquale, Jason B. Moore, Blaine E. Dickeson, David Johnson, and Ryan Watson. The Rising Stars list includes 13 attorneys from Kansas City, one from St. Louis, and one from Oklahoma City. The full list of Rising Stars honorees includes Hyemin Byun, Devin Glasgow, Ashley Hart, Todd Lucas, Tristan Medlin, Spencer T. Phillips, Michael Propst, Robert E. Simmon, Ethan G. Scherer, Garrett Tuck, Drew Ward, Kelly St. John, Taylor Sloan, Matthew Sain, and Chad Nelson.
