Super Lawyers selects attorneys using a rigorous, multiphase rating process.

The result is a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of attorneys who are at the top of their profession and the listing becomes a valuable resource for attorneys and consumers seeking legal counsel.

Jim Schwebel and Bill Sieben are included in Minnesota’s Top 10 Super Lawyers. It is the sixth year that Sieben has been named in the Top 10 since the list began in 1991. It is also the second time that both Schwebel and Sieben have made the Top 10 since 2003. Sieben was previously named 2013 Minneapolis Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs “Lawyer of the Year,” is included in the Minnesota Lawyers Hall of Fame and is a member of the International Society of Barristers.

“Max Hacker has consistently accomplished exceptional settlements and awards for his clients, frequently exceeding their expectations,” President Jim Schwebel said. “His acknowledgment by the legal community as a Super Lawyer is justly deserved.”
