Swope, Rodante, P.A.’s dedicated team of personal injury attorneys have been bringing justice to our clients, including victims of spinal cord injuries and/or traumatic brain injuries (TBI), for over 35 years. When these injuries occur, those going through a catastrophic event need immediate help from a variety of outside individuals and organizations. When providing this crucial help, it is often times part of their job every day (nurses, first responders, therapists) as they go above and beyond their required duties to make an impact on the injured person and their families. In other cases, providing assistance is simply driven by a passion for helping others with their greatest benefit being the satisfaction of knowing they made a difference.
Here at Swope, Rodante P.A. we want to recognize and thank the remarkable individuals who selflessly provide support and guidance to the victims affected by catastrophic events, and their families.
