July 2023
Minneapolis, MN – July 17, 2023 – Personal injury law firm Schwebel, Goetz & Sieben is pleased to announce that 11 of its attorneys have been named to the 2023 Minnesota Super Lawyers list. An additional four attorneys from the firm have been named to the 2023 Minnesota Super Lawyers Rising Stars list for a total of 15 out of 19 attorneys having received special designations in Super Lawyers associated publications. This high number of lawyers on the lists is especially notable considering the ranking service only names 5 percent maximum of all Minnesota litigators as Super Lawyers, and less than 2.5 percent of the state’s litigators earn a place on the Rising Stars list.
The firm’s Minnesota Super Lawyers list for 2023 includes the following attorneys along with the number of years the designation has been awarded: James Ballentine (21), Aaron Eken (3), Cole Dixon (1), Paul Godlewski (25), John Goetz (29), Max Hacker (19), Courtney Lawrence (3), Peter Riley (28), James Schwebel (31), William Sieben (29) and Richard Tousignant (25). While 2023 is the first year that attorney Cole Dixon received the Super Lawyers designation, he was previously named a Minnesota Super Lawyers Rising Star for 8 consecutive years. Attorneys Aaron Eken and Courtney Lawrence received the Super Lawyers designation for the third consecutive year, and both attorneys were previously named Minnesota Super Lawyers Rising Stars for 7 years and 10 years, respectively.
The Minnesota Super Lawyers Rising Stars list is a separate ranking category for attorneys who have demonstrated high-level service who are not older than 40 or have practiced law for 10 years or less. The firm’s Minnesota Super Lawyers Rising Stars for 2023 are Kojo Addo (2), Matthew Barber (5), Cody Scharpf (2) and Alicia Sieben (12).
Founding partner James Schwebel commented, “It is gratifying to have so many of our attorneys acknowledged for their exceptional talent and service to their clients.”
Newly designated Minnesota Super Lawyer Cole Dixon elaborated on this success by saying, “It is an honor to be recognized with the best attorneys in the state. The amount of attorneys at our office represented on this list is incredible and a reflection of the immense talent and quality of attorneys at Schwebel, Goetz & Sieben.”
The list published by Super Lawyers is an external review of legal practitioners built on standards similar to Consumer Reports, and has an aggregate Minnesota readership of 354,400 people. Results come from peer nominations, independent research and third-party feedback. The panel evaluates candidates in 12 different categories, such as verdicts, community service, writings and special certifications. The majority of Schwebel, Goetz & Sieben’s legal team has practiced law for decades with a combined total of over 500 years of experience fighting for the rights of car accident and personal injury victims.
