Miguel Mendez-Pintado Named to Washington Rising Star List

MPBF is thrilled to announce Miguel Mendez-Pintado has been named a 2026 Washington Super Lawyers Rising Star.

Super Lawyers selects its Rising Stars through a rigorous, multiphase evaluation process that includes peer nominations and independent research, making this one of the most esteemed recognitions an attorney can achieve.

Miguel’s practice focuses on trademark and copyright litigation, as well as advising businesses in the hospitality industry. Most recently, Miguel played a key role in defending a significant case against a local hotel that resulted in a favorable settlement for the client at substantially less than the plaintiff’s initial demand.

Congratulations on this outstanding achievement, Miguel!
