Heimerl & Lammers, a Minnesota law firm, 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 the state for Super Lawyers and two and a half percent for Rising Stars. The selection process combines peer nominations, independent third-party research, and evaluation across a range of professional achievement indicators, making it one of the more credible third-party signals in the legal industry. This recognition matters because it provides potential clients with a vetted measure of attorney quality in a crowded legal market, where distinguishing among firms can be difficult.
The 2026 Minnesota Super Lawyers list includes Carlo Faccini for family law, marking his first year on the list. Benjamin J. Heimerl was recognized for workers' compensation for the third consecutive year. Katie M. Lammers was named to the Top 100 Minnesota Super Lawyers for family law, her fourth consecutive year on the list. Michael B. Lammers was recognized for personal injury general: plaintiff, his seventh consecutive year. The 2026 Minnesota Rising Stars list includes Heather Y. Hamilton for family law, 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.
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 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 firm's consistent presence on these lists across multiple practice areas signals stability and depth, which can be reassuring to individuals facing complex legal challenges.
