Legal and Professional Liability

Smith Sovik defends legal malpractice claims for lawyers and law firms all over New York State. In fact, many of our opponents turn to us if they are sued – which we consider to be one of our highest compliments.

Our firm also defends architects, engineers, accountants and other professionals against malpractice claims and lawsuits.  We’ve had the privilege of defending professional malpractice claims for CNA, Liberty International, Argo, AIG, Travelers and numerous other insurers.

John's professionalism, knowledge of the legal system, explanation of the process and considerable patience with a novice in this legal environment, allowed me to participate with increasing confidence and reduced stress.  I know that it is due to his expertise and outstanding representation that the jury was able to make such a swift decision to rule in my favor.
