Hach & Rose, LLP is proud to announce that founding partner Michael A. Rose has been selected for inclusion in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® in the practice area of Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs.
Recognition in Best Lawyers is based entirely on peer review. Attorneys cannot pay to be listed and cannot nominate themselves. Selection comes from confidential evaluations submitted by other lawyers who practice in the same geographic region and the same area of law, which means the honor reflects the judgment of the people who see an attorney's work firsthand: opposing counsel, co-counsel, and colleagues across the New York bar.
A career built in the courtroom
Michael has spent his entire legal career on one side of the aisle, representing people who were hurt because someone else was careless. He has tried cases against municipalities, hospitals, construction companies, and large corporate defendants throughout New York, and he has secured numerous seven- and eight-figure verdicts and settlements for injured clients and their families. Among his results is a jury verdict exceeding $13 million in a New York construction accident case, one of the largest reported verdicts of its kind in the state at the time.
That trial record is the foundation of the firm he built. Michael and Gregory Hach founded Hach & Rose after both worked at a large New York firm handling complex injury matters. They started their own practice around a straightforward idea: injured people deserve a lawyer who knows their name, returns their calls, and is genuinely prepared to take the case to verdict if the insurance company will not do the right thing.
What this recognition means for clients
Peer review recognition does not decide any individual case. What it does tell an injured worker or family in New York is that the attorney handling their claim is regarded seriously by the other lawyers in the room, including the ones on the other side. In construction and Labor Law cases, where defense counsel and carriers litigate hard and know exactly which plaintiffs' firms actually try cases, that reputation carries real weight at the negotiating table.
Michael's selection adds to a record of peer and industry recognition that includes New York Super Lawyers, an AV Preeminent® rating from Martindale-Hubbell® based on peer review, Best Attorneys of America, and membership in the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum.
