DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--National boutique law firm Olson Grimsley is pleased to announce that partner Jason Murray and associate Isabel Broer have been named to The National Law Journal's 2025 Rising Stars of the Plaintiffs Bar. The National Law Journal describes honorees as 'a select group of young lawyers who are up-and-comers in the plaintiffs bar, already demonstrating their litigation prowess, service to the community, and/or impact on their firm.'
