FMJ is proud to announce that Forbes has chosen Heidi Carpenter for the list of America’s Best-In-State Lawyers. Heidi is one of just eight attorneys selected for the state of Minnesota. Click here to see the list!

This is the first time Forbes has created a list of this kind, and it followed a rigorous, multi-stage process of researching, evaluating, and rating thousands of candidates. As Forbes stated on its website: “The resulting collection of top lawyers from across all 50 states spotlights those who can best meet your legal needs, be it litigation, tech, transactional, employment, intellectual property, civil rights, M&A or private equity.

To create their inaugural list of America’s Best-In-State Lawyers, Forbes put together a team with experience in law and legal news. This team gathered a large group of possible candidates by conducting hundreds of interviews with legal industry insiders, reviewing independent nominations, doing their own research, and working with a board of legal experts. Lawyers had to be currently licensed and practicing. Ultimately, thousands of lawyers from a variety of fields, backgrounds, and jurisdictions were reviewed.

Forbes stated that over the last year, its editorial team “set out to find lawyers with premium skill sets from across the United States, reviewing thousands of candidates for Forbes’ inaugural Best-In-State list. Vetted through outside nominations, independent research and consultation with experts and industry insiders, we’ve curated an elite cohort of lawyers from all 50 states, across a variety of specializations.” Congratulations again to Heidi for being selected as one of just eight Minnesota attorneys on this list.
