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 places these attorneys among a very small percentage of legal professionals in Minnesota: no more than five percent are named to Super Lawyers, and only two and a half percent to Rising Stars.
The selection process combines peer nominations, independent third-party research, and evaluation of professional achievement indicators. This rigorous methodology makes the honor one of the more credible third-party signals in the legal industry. For clients seeking legal representation, such recognition can serve as a useful indicator of an attorney's standing among peers and their commitment to professional excellence.
The 2026 Minnesota Super Lawyers list includes Carlo Faccini (Family Law, first year), Benjamin J. Heimerl (Workers' Compensation, third consecutive year), Katie M. Lammers (Family Law, Top 100 Minnesota Super Lawyers, fourth consecutive year), and Michael B. Lammers (Personal Injury General: Plaintiff, seventh consecutive year). The 2026 Minnesota Rising Stars list features Heather Y. Hamilton (Family Law, first year), Hunter N. Kinsey (Family Law, third consecutive year), Courtney E. Latcham (Family Law, fifth consecutive year), Kyle Prouty (Family Law, fifth consecutive year), and Ingrid Wahlquist (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 particularly important in family law, where clients often face complex emotional and financial challenges.
"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 repeat appearances on these lists—several attorneys have been recognized for multiple consecutive years—demonstrate sustained excellence rather than a one-time achievement. For the firm, this consistency reinforces its reputation as a leading provider of legal services in Minnesota. It also signals to potential clients that the firm's attorneys are held in high regard by their peers and have a track record of success.
