Mcca Rising Stars

The 2024 Rising Stars Award Nominations closed on Friday, March 1, 2024.

MCCA’s Rising Stars is an annual list featuring stellar attorneys whose accomplishments and dedication to the legal profession and to their community place them among those “attorneys to watch”. The MCCA Rising Stars may be at varying stages in their careers, but they all possess the love of law, ambition, and pursuit of excellence while possessing compassion for those in need and a strong desire to give back to others.
