NCMIC is a writer of medical malpractice coverage in all 50 states.  We demand the highest level of service from our defense counsel.  Firms that don't meet our expectations are dismissed without hesitation.  Smith Sovik has been providing legal services to NCMIC since 1995.  They are aggressive in defending our cases and responsive to the needs of our insureds and my claims staff.  Kevin Hulslander and Jim Lantier are as good or better than any attorneys we have in the country.

I cannot tell you how much we value you as part of our legal panel and what a fierce advocate you are for your clients/our insureds.  In our most recent case together, you won despite the fact that the insured practitioner had an intimate relationship with her patient resulting in the birth of their child.   It is such a pleasure to work with you.
