# Minnesota Monthly Selects 11 FMJ Attorneys for the 2025 Top Lawyers List

*[Minnesota Monthly](https://www.minnesotamonthly.com/lawyers)* 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!
