We are excited to announce that two of our attorneys have been selected for distinction by Super Lawyers Magazine, a publication of Thomson Reuters, in 2021. Partner Michael Lammers has been selected with his second year as a Super Lawyer after seven years as a Rising Star. Attorney Scott Kruger has been selected for his first year as a Rising Star.

Super Lawyers are selected through a process which involves nomination and evaluation by their peers and independent research to decide who receives honors. These evaluations include 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement. Super Lawyers represent only 5% of attorneys per state. Rising Stars must be either 40-years-old or younger or have been practicing for 10 years or fewer and represent 2.5% of attorneys per state.

We sat down with our honorees to get a little insight on their thoughts regarding their practice and views on representation.

Mike, you have been very willing to take on serious injury cases. What motivates you to do this?

Catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases bring what is important into focus. These kinds of cases can impact entire communities and generations of people – rippling out from the person harmed to their family and friends and everyone they’ve touched in their life.  Bringing justice and accountability in the face of tragedy requires teamwork and humility and hard work and forces us to be our best. In the end, it is rewarding and worthwhile to be able to tell our clients’ stories and bring closure to life-changing events.

Scott, what do you want a client to know about you?

Clients should know I bring real world experience with me to their claims. I’m a father of three so I understand juggling family responsibilities. I didn’t go straight to law school, so my understanding of the world isn’t limited to what school taught me. I try to be patient, understanding, and try to educate my clients so that they feel like they are a part of their claim. I am always happy to try to explain something, so I encourage my clients to call in with questions.

Mike, what was the driving force to you becoming an attorney?

I became an attorney because I sincerely believe I can help people and I can use the law to hold wrongdoers accountable.

Scott, why did you choose injury law?

Personal injuries will impact almost everybody, but usually only once. It is usually an unexpected, frightening, and disruptive incident. Personal injury gives me an opportunity to meet people of all walks of life in every stage of life and provide clarity. I don’t expect people to be an expert, so it is satisfying to make a bad situation as easy as possible.
