Jack Downing was named to the 2024 “Missouri & Kansas Rising Stars” list in the area of Class Action Litigation. Michael Figenshau was named to the 2024 “Missouri & Kansas Rising Stars” list in the area of Personal Injury General. To be eligible for inclusion in Rising Stars, a candidate must be either 40 years old or younger, or in practice for 10 years or less. This list recognizes no more than 2.5 percent of attorneys in each state.

The Super Lawyers listing is an annual multi-stage process that includes surveys of attorneys from the two states to identify attorneys with a high degree of professional achievement and peer recognition, independent evaluation, and peer review. Only 5 percent of all attorneys in the two states combined were selected.

The choice of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely on advertisements.
