Heimerl & Lammers announced that nine of its attorneys have been named to the 2026 Minnesota Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists. The peer-driven honor, administered by Thomson Reuters, recognizes no more than five percent of attorneys in Minnesota for Super Lawyers and two and a half percent for Rising Stars. This matters because such recognition serves as a credible third-party signal of professional achievement, and it highlights the firm's depth of talent across several key practice areas.
The selection process combines peer nominations, independent third-party research, and evaluation across a range of professional achievement indicators. This rigorous methodology makes the honor one of the more credible third-party signals in the legal industry. For clients, it offers assurance that they are working with attorneys who have earned the respect of their peers and demonstrated a high level of competence.
Four attorneys were named to the 2026 Minnesota Super Lawyers list. Carlo Faccini was recognized in Family Law for the first year. Benjamin J. Heimerl was named in Workers' Compensation for the third consecutive year. Katie M. Lammers was recognized in Family Law and also named to the Top 100 Minnesota Super Lawyers list for the fourth consecutive year. Michael B. Lammers was honored 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 year. Hunter N. Kinsey was named 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's 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 on the Top 100 list signals sustained excellence in a complex and emotionally charged area of law.
"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."
