“Right from the time of our first consultation, I was given honest and straightforward answers to all of my questions. They made sure to let me know that they would give me all the information necessary to make the right decision as to whether to settle or go to trial while explaining that it was ultimately my decision. I appreciated that…”

“My wife, daughter and I were in a car accident. My wife was badly injured. From the moment we contacted your office, I felt like a huge weight was off my shoulders; your office helped us complete all of our insurance and medical paperwork, answered all of our questions and made a difficult situation much easier to handle. Thanks.”

“After meeting law firm after law firm promising me between $1m and $2m in my case, it was refreshing to hear a lawyer say that it is not truthful to guarantee any results at the outset of a client’s case. The best part is that they exceeded my expectations and what the other lawyers ‘promised’ at my other consultations…"

“I was told by another firm that they didn’t think I had a winnable case. Hach & Rose told me that it would be an uphill battle but they believed in me and my case … we won!”

T.S.

“Not feeling comfortable that my case was being handled properly at another firm, I chose to switch to Hach & Rose. It was the second best decision of my life (after marrying my wife of course)”
