Attorneys at Fryberger Law Firm Named Minnesota Super Lawyers and Minnesota Rising Star

You are here: Home / Blog / Attorneys at Fryberger Law Firm Named Minnesota Super Lawyers and Minnesota Rising Star

July 16, 2024 //  by Carrie Baney

DULUTH, MN—Fryberger, Buchanan, Smith & Frederick, P.A. is proud to announce four attorneys:

Stephanie A. Ball, Robert R. Kanuit, Paul B. Kilgore, and Paul A. Loraas were named 2024 Minnesota Super Lawyers. Through a rigorous selection process, Super Lawyers recognizes lawyers in their state who distinguished themselves within their practice – an honor only 5% of Minnesota lawyers are awarded yearly.

Stephanie A. Ball is a graduate of the University of Minnesota Law School and practices in the areas of civil litigation, including personal injury, wrongful death, products liability, construction, insurance and surety law, commercial litigation and lender liability. She is certified by the Minnesota State Bar Association as a Civil Litigation Specialist and is the immediate past President and a National Board Representative of the Minnesota Chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates.  She has been recognized as an Attorney of the Year by Minnesota Lawyer.

Robert R. Kanuit practices in the areas of real estate, banking and lending support services, bankruptcy and creditors’ remedies, business entities, collections, contracts, estate planning, trust and probate and project development.  Mr. Kanuit graduated cum laude from William Mitchell College of Law.  

Paul B. Kilgore focuses his practice on real estate acquisitions, finance and litigation, and on minerals and mining law. He graduated cum laude from the University of Minnesota Law School and is certified by the Minnesota State Bar Association as a Real Property Law Specialist.  Mr. Kilgore was elected in 2012 to the American College of Real Estate Lawyers. 

Paul A. Loraas practices in the areas of lender support, real estate, minerals and mining law.  He graduated with distinction from the University of North Dakota School of Law.  He is certified by the Minnesota State Bar Association as a Real Property Law Specialist and has been featured in the International Who’s Who of Mining Lawyers from 2012 – 2018, 2022 and 2023.

One attorney from the firm was named a 2024 Minnesota Rising Star: Daniel F Burns. Rising Stars are chosen by peers as top up-and-coming lawyers. Only 2.5 percent of attorneys receive this honor each year.

Daniel F. Burns attended the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., and graduated magna cum laude in 2011. Burns then found his way to Minnesota where he studied at the University of St. Thomas School of Law. After graduating in 2016, Burns decided to stay in Minnesota and gained experience in the public finance sector of law. 

“We are incredibly proud to announce that four attorneys have been named Super Lawyers and one Rising Star,” said Mia Thibodeau, Fryberger President. “This recognition is a testament to each of their exceptional legal skills, dedication, and commitment to their clients.”
