I cannot thank Kevin Hulslander enough for the incredible job he did with my case. As I said, it is not easy having an attorney for a client, but from the very first meeting and each meeting thereafter, Kevin was both professional, extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and patient as you welcomed my input, even when unsolicited…. You were responsive, informative, and made me feel like a priority. Your expertise in contact litigation led to a successful outcome that exceeded my expectations. Again, not an easy accomplishment with an attorney for a client! I highly recommend The Smith Sovik Law Firm.

S.J., client

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.
