20 DM Injury Law Attorneys Named to 2026 Super Lawyers and Rising Stars Lists Across Three States

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 who have demonstrated excellence in their practice areas through peer recognition and professional achievement.

According to the firm, the selection process employs a multiphase methodology that includes 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 reserved for attorneys who are 40 years old or younger or have been 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. 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 & 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 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. Additionally, Matthew Sain from the St. Louis office and Chad Nelson from the Oklahoma City office were named Rising Stars.

DM Injury Law represents individuals in personal injury matters, including motor vehicle collisions, truck accidents, workplace injuries, premises liability, and wrongful death claims. The firm handles cases on a contingency fee basis, where legal fees depend on obtaining a recovery, and offers free consultations. To date, the firm's attorneys have recovered over $1 billion in compensation for clients. More information can be found at https://www.dmlawusa.com/.
