Lawdragon 500 honorees are selected through submissions, journalistic research, and editorial vetting from a board of peers who review attorneys’ achievements in verdicts and settlements and roles as leaders in class actions.
- Tim Purdon, former United States Attorney for the District of North Dakota, serves as Co-Chair of the firm’s American Indian Law and Policy Group and Government and Internal Investigations Group.

He has particular experience in complex and high-profile cases, including the I-35W Bridge Collapse, the Red Lake High School Shooting, and the Holidazzle Parade Disaster.
- Roman Silberfeld has more than 40 years of experience as a trial lawyer in civil and criminal cases, including white-collar crime, environmental, personal injury, antitrust, and securities law. He has been lead counsel in a number of high-profile trials, representing both plaintiffs and defendants, and has earned more than 50 trial victories.
- Brandon Vaughn is a personal injury, medical malpractice, and product liability attorney who provides advocacy for those who have been harmed due to another party’s negligence.
