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

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.
