"The National Basketball Players’ Association has used the Smith, Sovik law firm to handle various matters over the years. In particular, we turn to Steve Williams, a partner with the firm, who is well known as an aggressive and thorough litigator. When we use the Smith, Sovik firm, we know we will get the best results possible, and we know we will be well informed as each matter unfolds."

"NCMIC is a writer of medical malpractice coverage in all 50 states.  We demand the highest level of service from our defense counsel.  Firms that don't meet our expectations are dismissed without hesitation.  Smith Sovik has been providing legal services to NCMIC since 1995.  They are aggressive in defending our cases and responsive to the needs of our insureds and my claims staff.  Kevin Hulslander and Jim Lantier are as good or better than any attorneys we have in the country."
Bruce Beal
Vice President of Claims
NCMIC Insurance Company
"We have had a great partnership with Smith, Sovik and, in particular, Steve Williams. Steve has delivered great results for us not only in Litigation, but also in handling EEOC charges as well as mediations and arbitrations which are a part of our Dispute Resolution Process. Steve is an extremely talented litigator; however, he also works hard to attain good settlements for us. His case evaluations are thorough and honest. It has been a pleasure working with Steve and I look forward to continuing our partnership."
Alexis C. Roberts
Manager of Employment Claims
Red Lobster
"You are 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."
