Heimerl & Lammers has announced that seven of its attorneys have been selected for inclusion in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®, while two additional attorneys were named to Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America®. The recognitions span the firm's core practice areas of family law, personal injury, and workers' compensation. For clients navigating sensitive legal matters, the peer-reviewed honors signal that the firm's attorneys are held in high regard by their professional colleagues, a factor that can matter when choosing representation.
The Best Lawyers in America® honorees include Carlo E. Faccini for Family Law; Andrew Haugen for Family Law and Family Law Mediation; Benjamin Heimerl for Workers' Compensation Law – Claimants; Kathryn M. Lammers for Family Law; Michael B. Lammers for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs; Courtney Latcham for Family Law; and Kyle Prouty for Family Law. In addition, Hunter Kinsey was named to Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America® for Family Law, and Ingrid Wahlquist was recognized in the same list for Workers' Compensation Law – Claimants.
The breadth of the recognitions is notable. Family law dominates the list, with six attorneys honored across the main and Ones to Watch lists, reflecting the firm's deep specialization in divorce, custody, and related matters. The inclusion of a mediator, Andrew Haugen, also highlights the firm's capacity to handle cases through alternative dispute resolution, which can be less adversarial and more cost-effective for families. Meanwhile, honors in personal injury and workers' compensation demonstrate that the firm's expertise extends beyond family law, offering clients a range of legal services under one roof.
Best Lawyers is among the oldest and most respected peer-review publications in the legal profession. Attorneys are chosen through an extensive peer-review survey process, and no fee or application is required for consideration. This methodology lends the recognition a credibility that distinguishes it from pay-to-play directories. The Ones to Watch list recognizes attorneys earlier in their careers who have already distinguished themselves among their peers, suggesting that Heimerl & Lammers has a pipeline of rising talent in addition to its established leaders.
For prospective clients, these honors can serve as a useful quality signal. In family law especially, where outcomes can have lasting personal and financial consequences, knowing that an attorney is well-regarded by peers may provide additional confidence. The firm offers free consultations for those facing divorce, custody disputes, or questions about support and spousal maintenance. The Minneapolis family law attorneys at Heimerl & Lammers are available to discuss individual circumstances and explain available options.
