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.

As a Litigation Specialist with PRMS, Inc., I retained Kevin to represent a psychiatrist in a difficult medical malpractice case. Kevin obtained a defense verdict in behalf of the doctor. Kevin is a no-nonsense, hard-nosed and savvy attorney whom plaintiff attorneys would prefer not to go up against-a guy who likes to try cases and just what you're looking for in a defense attorney. Kevin has obtained several other great outcomes for me. He is my go-to attorney for all cases in his neck of the woods and I highly recommend him without reservation.
