We hired SSKS to defend our insured in a multi claimant incident. We picked the right firm! The case was appropriately managed and ultimately resolved at mediation.

It was clear that our attorney Kevin Hulslander knew his case and had the credibility and respect of the plaintiff attorneys involved as well as the mediator.
