Minnesota Monthly has named its annual Minnesota Top Lawyers for 2025. We are proud to announce that 11 FMJ attorneys are on the list across 9 different practice areas!
The research for the Top Lawyers list was created by PRS (Professional Research Services) and is based on an online peer-review survey sent out to all lawyers in Minnesota. Thousands of votes were cast honoring excellence in all areas of practice. Inclusion in Minnesota Monthly’s Top Lawyers is based solely upon one’s standing within their peer group. Listings in Top Lawyers cannot be purchased.
Congratulations to all of our attorneys included on the list!
