I engaged Eric A. Smith at Davis, Malm & D'Agostine PC for a complex insurance regulatory matter involving a department of insurance investigation. Eric's expertise in insurance sector regulations, particularly in the context of examinations and liquidations, proved invaluable. His education from both Harvard and Stanford, combined with his recognition as a Best Lawyer in America for Insurance Law, gave me confidence from the start. Eric's approach was methodical and well-informed, and he provided clear, practical solutions to help us navigate the regulatory process. While his legal acumen is exceptional, I did notice that response times to emails could be quicker, especially during high-volume periods. Overall, I highly recommend Eric for any insurance regulatory or examination-related legal needs - his deep knowledge and professional background are truly impressive.
