DM Injury Law has announced that 20 of its attorneys have been selected for inclusion in the 2026 Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists across Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma. The annual selections, published by Thomson Reuters, recognize lawyers in more than 70 practice areas based on peer recognition and professional achievement. The Super Lawyers list includes no more than 5% of lawyers in a state or region, while the Rising Stars list includes no more than 2.5%, designated for attorneys who are 40 years old or younger or in practice for 10 years or less.
The selection methodology uses a multiphase process incorporating statewide peer nominations, independent research evaluations, and practice area peer reviews. Candidates are evaluated using 12 indicators, including verdicts and settlements, representative clients, transactions, experience, pro bono and community service, scholarly lectures and writings, honors and awards, educational background, bar or professional activity, and special licenses or certifications. Because the evaluation process incorporates both peer evaluations and research, inclusion on the list reflects professional activity and case results within the region.
The 2026 Missouri and Kansas Super Lawyers from the Kansas City office include Michael V. DiPasquale, Jason B. Moore, Blaine E. Dickeson, David Johnson, and Ryan Watson. The Rising Stars honorees for Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma from the Kansas City office are Hyemin Byun, Devin Glasgow, Ashley Hart, Todd Lucas, Tristan Medlin, Spencer T. Phillips, Michael Propst, Robert E. Simmon, Ethan G. Scherer, Garrett Tuck, Drew Ward, Kelly St. John, and Taylor Sloan. From the St. Louis office, Matthew Sain was selected as a Rising Star, and from the Oklahoma City office, Chad Nelson was selected.
