UMK Partners Recognized Among The Lawdragon 500 Leading Civil Rights & Plaintiff Employment Lawyers

We are proud to announce that UMK’s Matthew Donald Umhofer and Elizabeth Mitchell have been recognized among the 2025 Lawdragon 500 Leading Civil Rights & Plaintiff Employment Lawyers.

“These lawyers are champions who stand tall and deliver justice to individuals who have lost their means to make a living, their freedom, their dignity. To have a job, a chance. To have one’s freedom and be able to speak one’s mind. To be able to proceed in life free of sexual abuse, harassment, discrimination and other boulders unfairly forced onto the paths of individuals trying to live their lives – that is the calling of these heroes.

Because while ‘life happens’ these are the lawyers who call out and hold to account those whose callous, greedy or vicious actions deprive others of their right to work, to exist, to peaceably abide. To go to court and win the respect that’s been stolen.”
