HHMR Makes its Mark on the 2012 Lists of Super Lawyers and Rising Stars.

Higgins, Hopkins, McLain & Roswell (“HHMR”) is proud to announce that two of its attorneys have been named among Colorado’s Super Lawyers by Super Lawyers magazine and that two of its lawyers have been recognized as Rising Stars.

David B. Higgins (construction litigation and civil litigation defense) and Stephen Hopkins (construction litigation and personal injury defense: general) have been named to the Colorado Super Lawyers[1]list as two of the top attorneys in Colorado for 2012. No more than five percent of the lawyers in the state are selected by Super Lawyers. This recognition is indeed exceptional given the fact that Dave and Steve are mostly retired and we do not exactly see them around the office very often.

David M. McLain (construction litigation and construction/surety) and Derek J. Lindenschmidt (construction litigation) have been named to the Colorado Rising Stars list as two of the top up-and-coming attorneys in Colorado for 2012. To be eligible for inclusion in the Colorado Rising Stars list, candidates must be either 40 years old or younger or in practice for ten years or less. While up to five percent of the lawyers in the state are named to the Colorado Super Lawyers list, no more than two and a half percent are named to the Rising Stars list.

HHMR exists to embody and exemplify the principles of service and stewardship. In everything we do, we focus on serving our clients selflessly and to the best of our ability. In doing so, we always have in the forefront of our minds our obligation to act as the stewards of our clients’ trust, confidences, and resources.
