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.

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.
