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. The announcement matters because it signals external, peer-driven validation of the firm's legal expertise at a time when clients facing sensitive family, injury, and employment matters increasingly seek out attorneys with demonstrated standing in their fields.
The Best Lawyers in America® 2027 honorees from Heimerl & Lammers are 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 named to Ones to Watch for Workers' Compensation Law – Claimants. The breadth of the selections, from family law to personal injury and workers' compensation, reflects a firm that has built recognized depth across multiple practice areas rather than relying on a single specialty.
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. That detail is significant: inclusion is not a paid honor or a marketing designation, but the result of evaluations by other lawyers who are familiar with the candidate's work. The Ones to Watch list recognizes attorneys earlier in their careers who have already distinguished themselves among their peers, suggesting a pipeline of younger talent at the firm who are gaining professional recognition.
For clients, the implications go beyond prestige. Peer-review accolades can serve as a signal of quality when individuals and families are choosing representation for high-stakes matters such as divorce, custody disputes, or support and spousal maintenance questions. The firm notes that its Minneapolis family law attorneys offer free consultations. Prospective clients can visit hllawfirm.com for more information. The firm's main office is located at 601 Carlson Pkwy, Suite 1500, Minnetonka, MN 55305, with additional offices in Bloomington and Minneapolis available by appointment.
The volume of 2027 honorees, nine attorneys in total across two lists, also underscores the firm's ability to retain and develop legal talent in a competitive market. For a Minnesota law firm handling family law, personal injury, and workers' compensation, these recognitions may help attract clients who research attorney credentials before making a decision. They also reinforce the firm's reputation among peers, which can influence referrals and co-counsel opportunities. In an era when legal consumers are more informed and more selective, independent peer-review honors can be a meaningful differentiator.
