PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — van der Veen, Hartshorn & Levin is proud to announce that the firm has been recognized in the 2027 edition of Best Law Firms®, the 17th edition of the rankings. The recognition follows founder Michael T. van der Veen’s inclusion in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs earlier this year.

While individual attorney recognition is an important professional achievement, the Best Law Firms® distinction highlights the collective work behind a firm’s reputation. At van der Veen, Hartshorn & Levin, attorneys and legal professionals work together to develop case strategies, navigate complex legal issues, and advocate for clients at every stage of the legal process.

The Best Law Firms® rankings are based on client feedback, peer recommendations, leadership interviews and an evaluation of each firm’s practice capabilities. Recognition reflects the confidence clients and fellow attorneys place in a firm’s experience and the quality of its legal work.

“I am honored to see our firm recognized,” said Michael T. van der Veen. “This reflects the high caliber of legal work and commitment to excellence our firm strives to uphold. This recognition belongs to every attorney and legal professional on our team, and I am incredibly proud of their dedication and unwavering commitment to our clients. Their preparation, compassion, and determination in handling some of life’s most difficult legal challenges are what set this firm apart and make this honor especially meaningful.”

Founded by Michael T. van der Veen, the firm’s practice spans personal injury, criminal defense, business litigation, family law, employment law, and civil rights. Its attorneys represent individuals and businesses navigating challenging legal circumstances, bringing a trial-focused approach and an understanding of the significant personal and financial consequences these cases can carry.

The firm has secured significant verdicts and settlements for clients who have suffered serious harm, including a $31.5 million judgment in a motor vehicle crash case involving paraplegia, a $4.25 million federal jury verdict for a tetraplegic client, a $3.25 million verdict for a nurse who suffered a traumatic brain injury, and a $10 million settlement involving a child struck by a tractor-trailer.
