I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kristin over the past several years and have found the diligence and quality of her work to be excellent. She has a quick grasp of the pertinent issues involved and effectively develops and implements a tenacious defense strategy. I’ve worked with many defense attorneys over the course of my 37 year career and count her among the very best!  

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.
