Seven Zimmerman Reed attorneys were named 2023 Attorneys of the Year. The award recognizes the recipients’ leadership skills, involvement in noteworthy cases, and commitment to public service.
June Pineda Hoidal, Behdad Sadeghi, Charles Toomajian, Carolyn Glass Anderson, Kimberly McNulty, Richard Hansen, and Anna Jenks were recognized for the groundbreaking outcome in State of Minnesota v.
