Sr. Vice President Claims

Extremely thankful to have Kevin Hulslander and his team at Smith Sovik on my side!  He extricated me from a very bad partnership so I could move on with my business and my life.  Kevin took time to listen and most of all he CARED! Not only does Kevin care for his clients, his attitude and desire to win is unmatched.  With Kevin and his team, this uncharted legal process for me was brought to the finish line quickly and efficiently.  My family and I are so grateful for all of his hard work.  Going through the process with Kevin has not only ended the dispute but has propelled myself and the business substantially forward, growing personally and professionally.
