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.

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.
