New York City personal injury law firm Hach & Rose, LLP has announced that five of its attorneys have been recognized on the 2026 Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists, a peer-reviewed designation that identifies top legal talent in New York State. The selections, announced July 22, 2026, reflect the firm's strong track record in advocating for injured individuals, including construction workers, motor vehicle accident victims, and union members.
Three partners from the firm were named to the main Super Lawyers list: co-founder and senior partner Mike Rose, partner George W. Ilchert, and attorney Joseph Guardino. 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: partner John A. Blyth and attorney Evan Bane. The Rising Stars list selects no more than 2.5 percent of lawyers in the state, while the Super Lawyers list includes no more than five percent.
The selection process involves independent research, peer nominations, and peer evaluations, providing independent validation of the attorneys' professional achievements. The recognition underscores Hach & Rose, LLP's commitment to comprehensive case preparation and trial readiness, particularly in complex personal injury claims such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and permanent disabilities resulting from work-related incidents, premises liability, or defective products.
"These accolades reflect the dedication of our entire team to fighting for justice for injured New Yorkers," said Mike Rose, co-founder and senior partner. "We are proud that our attorneys' hard work and trial advocacy have been recognized by their peers."
