2026 Ohio Super Lawyers Rankings Recognize Multiple Kegler Brown Attorneys
Super Lawyers has announced its 2026 rankings for Ohio Super Lawyers and Rising Stars, featuring several Kegler Brown attorneys.
Notable amongst the list, Lori Fuhrer has once again been recognized as one of the “Top” attorneys in the state. One of the firm’s most experienced trial lawyers, Fuhrer was individually recognized as one of the Top 50 women lawyers in Ohio, and as one of the Top 50 attorneys in Columbus, regardless of practice area.
Other noteworthy entries in this year’s list include Brendan Feheley, chair of the firm’s Labor + Employment practice, who appears on the Super Lawyers list for the first time after ten years on the Rising Stars list; Jessica Skelly and Erica Kaple, key members of our Intellectual Property and Real Estate teams, respectively, both appear on the Rising Stars list for the first time; and Rob Cohen, who is appearing on the Super Lawyers list for the 20th year.
Annually, attorneys undergo a rigorous nomination and assessment process based on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional excellence to earn placement in these state-specific rankings.
This year, we are excited to announce the following list of recognized attorneys, comprising 8 “Super Lawyers” and 6 “Rising Stars.”
