Victor was exceptional at getting the facts of our case pulled together, and achieved an outcome that was completely in our favor. I would have him defend us again if the need arises, and highly recommend him to anyone in the contracting business.

Mark Freije, President of Matco Electric Co.

We have had a great partnership with Smith, Sovik and, in particular, Steve Williams. Steve has delivered great results for us not only in Litigation, but also in handling EEOC charges as well as mediations and arbitrations which are a part of our Dispute Resolution Process. Steve is an extremely talented litigator; however, he also works hard to attain good settlements for us. His case evaluations are thorough and honest. It has been a pleasure working with Steve and I look forward to continuing our partnership.
