Company Profile
Swope, Rodante P.A.
Company Overview
We are most happy when working on large or complex cases. The bigger and more powerful the defendant, the more rotten, dangerous or dishonest the conduct, the better it is. We still hold the belief that we can change the world, just a little, by helping its victims.
We make a deep emotional investment into improving the lives of clients, who have often been devastated by the events we are trying to vindicate. The cases are not simple. They are all over Florida, both in state and federal court, and are sometimes pushing the edge of the legal issues we care about. Cases are worked on collaboratively with senior attorneys and a team of paralegals and assistants. Our standard caseload averages just over ten large cases per attorney, which affords each attorney the ability to focus their time and energy. Our unique team approach and selective case acquisition allows our attorneys and team members the opportunity to master challenging legal issues and explore developing areas of law while encouraging close client contact.
Since we really do try our cases and generally expect to win them, the hours put into each case are often long and the preparation intense. But here, the whole firm works beside our injured clients trying to improve the world, one case at a time.
Company History
Swope, Rodante P.A. evolved from a solo practice first formed in 1979. Our law firm ranges in size from eight to twelve attorneys, with a total of about 30 staff, including paralegals, legal assistants, administrative personnel, and investigators.
While we certainly have grown in order to meet the unique needs of our clients and special challenges of today’s legal environment, we made no effort to expand beyond our current size, and believe strongly that our clients will best be served if we stay small. Also, unlike many law firms, we do not attempt to handle all types of legal matters. On the contrary, we have defined a tightly focused mission to handle only one thing: claims for people who have been catastrophically injured or the victims of insurance bad faith.
Benefits
Among the reasons our firm was previously named one of the Best Places to Work by Tampa Bay Business Journal, is our excellent package of benefits, including health, dental, disability & life insurance. We have an onsite gym and offer yoga classes, massages and personal training sessions weekly.
