Best & Flanagan is proud to announce the recognition of five attorneys as North Star Lawyers by the Minnesota State Bar Association (MSBA). This recognition is awarded to attorneys who offer 50 or more hours of pro bono legal services annually, reflecting a strong commitment to community service and equal access to justice.
In 2025, our firm demonstrated this commitment by supporting various organizations, including Volunteer Lawyers Network, The Link, Tubman Family Alliance, Children’s Law Center, and more. For hours volunteered in 2025, the MSBA gives special recognition to the following lawyers:
- Karolina Brekken-Hoerl
- Craig Kepler
- Joe LaFave
- Dan Nelson
- Spencer Riegelman
Their dedication underscores Best & Flanagan’s ongoing efforts to contribute positively to our community through meaningful legal service. A complete list of the 2025 North Star Lawyers can be found in the May/June 2026 issue of Bench & Bar.
