Congratulations to Managing Partner Hannah F. Little and Partner Colleen F. Molner, who were both recognized in the 2026 edition of Super Lawyers released Wednesday!
Little was selected to the North Carolina Super Lawyers list while Molner received a North Carolina Rising Star designation in the latest addition of the publication.
Super Lawyers selects attorneys using a patented, multiphase process, combining peer nominations, evaluations and independent research. The process is designed to “create a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys that can be used as a resource when searching for legal counsel,” according to the organization. No more than 5 percent of attorneys in North Carolina are named to the Super Lawyers list each year.
Meanwhile, lawyers eligible for the Rising Stars list must be no older than 40 and the designation is awarded to no more than 2.5 percent of attorneys in North Carolina per edition.
Little and Molner are both certified as Specialists in Immigration Law by the North Carolina State Bar, the highest level of specialization attainable in the state, and both were recently named to the 2026 Business North Carolina Legal Elite list.
