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 across the region in personal injury practice areas based on peer recognition and professional achievement.
The Super Lawyers rating service uses a multiphase selection process that incorporates statewide peer nominations, independent research evaluations, and practice area peer reviews. Under the program's criteria, no more than 5% of lawyers in a state or region are named to the Super Lawyers list, and no more than 2.5% are selected to the Rising Stars list, which is designated for attorneys who are 40 years old or younger, or in practice for 10 years or less. Candidates are evaluated using 12 indicators, including verdicts and settlements, representative clients, experience, pro bono and community service, scholarly lectures and writings, honors and awards, educational background, bar or professional activity, and special licenses or certifications.
The selection includes attorneys from DM Injury Law's offices in Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Because the evaluation process incorporates both peer evaluations and research, inclusion on the annual list reflects professional activity and case results within the region. The firm's Kansas City office had five attorneys named to the 2026 Missouri & Kansas Super Lawyers list: Michael V. DiPasquale, Jason B. Moore, Blaine E. Dickeson, David Johnson, and Ryan Watson. Additionally, 13 attorneys from the Kansas City office were named to the 2026 Missouri, Kansas & Oklahoma Rising Stars list: 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. The St. Louis office had Matthew Sain, and the Oklahoma City office had Chad Nelson recognized as Rising Stars.
