I wanted to express my gratitude to Jackie Wanemaker who finalized my MVA settlement.  Although this was a difficult time, she made the process easy to go through.  Jackie also made me feel like she was always looking out for my best interest.  I am extremely pleased with the outcome.  I would wholeheartedly recommend Jackie to anyone who is in need of a first rate personal injury attorney.

Smith Sovik is appropriately aggressive in an industry that requires something more than just a run of the mill attitude. More particularly, I was most impressed with your aggressive negotiation style at mediation and then your ability to appropriately modify your approach for the jury during the Paduana trial. In addition, you are well versed in NY Labor Law which is a real plus given the complexity and high damage exposure of construction claims.
