July 2026
Minneapolis, MN – July 15, 2026 – Personal injury law firm Schwebel, Goetz & Sieben is pleased to announce that 13 of its attorneys have been named to the 2026 Minnesota Super Lawyers list. An additional four attorneys from the firm have been named to the 2026 Minnesota Super Lawyers Rising Stars list for a total of 17 out of 20 attorneys having received special designations in Super Lawyers associated publications.

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 2026 are Kojo Addo (5), Duncan McIntyre (2), Hannah Mielke (1) and Cody Scharpf (5). This is the first year Hannah Mielke has received the Rising Star designation.
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 Rising Star Hannah Mielke elaborated on this success by saying, “I am honored to receive this designation from my colleagues in the personal injury profession. This award is only possible because of the support I receive from my incredible team, along with the mentoring, teaching, and assistance I receive from the many incredible lawyers of Schwebel, Goetz & Sieben. With their help, I will continue to grow as an attorney, to better represent those who have suffered as the result of another’s negligence.”
The list published by Super Lawyer is based upon an external review of legal practitioners built on standards similar to Consumer Reports. The list has an aggregate Minnesota readership of 537,209.
Results come from peer nominations, independent research, and third-party feedback. The panel evaluates candidates in 12 categories, such as verdicts, community service, writings, and special certifications.
