Appellate Counsel for a codefendant

Smith Sovik has attorneys that specialize in different fields of law from coverage and pollution to New York labor law. The attorneys that I have dealt with are extremely talented in their fields of expertise. I have always found the firm to work well with insurance carrier staff. They are very responsive to calls and correspondence and always timely.
