New York City personal injury law firm Hach & Rose, LLP has announced that five of its attorneys have been selected to the 2026 New York Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists, peer-reviewed honors that recognize outstanding legal professionals in personal injury litigation. The annual lists identify attorneys who have achieved significant peer recognition and professional achievement within their practice areas, providing independent validation of their work representing injured clients.
Three partners from the firm were named to the main Super Lawyers list: Mike Rose, co-founder and senior partner; George W. Ilchert, partner; and Joseph Guardino, attorney. Additionally, two attorneys were named to the Rising Stars list, which recognizes up-and-coming practitioners who are either 40 years old or younger or have been in practice for 10 years or less: John A. Blyth, partner, and Evan Bane, attorney.
The selections are determined through a multiphase process that includes independent research, peer nominations, and peer evaluations. Each year, no more than five percent of lawyers in the state are selected to the Super Lawyers list, and no more than 2.5 percent are selected to the Rising Stars list. This recognition highlights Hach & Rose, LLP's ongoing focus on advocating for individuals injured due to negligence, including construction workers, motor vehicle accident victims, and union members.
The recognition of these five attorneys reflects the firm's established focus on comprehensive case preparation and trial readiness. Over nearly 25 years of practice, Hach & Rose, LLP has developed a reputation for handling complex personal injury claims across New York State. The firm's legal team regularly litigates cases involving traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and permanent disabilities resulting from work-related incidents, premises liability, and defective products.
By maintaining a structure where multiple attorneys collaborate on high-stakes cases, the firm ensures clients receive dedicated attention and thorough legal representation. This team approach allows the firm to challenge corporations and insurance entities that refuse to offer fair compensation during pre-trial negotiations. The addition of these five individual accolades further underscores the collective experience within the firm's office.
