Top-notch Lawyer

One night I was struck on my motorcycle by a car making a blind left-hand turn. It left me hospitalized and unable to walk for about half a year. I was at rock bottom and I had no idea what to do until I met the amazing lawyers at Swope, Rodante P.A. Mr. Cathey came onto the team before trial and he ...worked diligently and tirelessly to help me through this tough time. He's very professional and is a master in his craft. He made sure I was understanding everything that was going on and answered every question and concern I had. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Cathey and everyone at Swope, Rodante P.A to anyone going through a similar case.

First Class Attorney!

Mr. Cathey did an excellent job with my case. I was having a hard time dealing with the insurance company and getting nowhere for monthes. I was about to settle for what they offered me, but a family member referred me to Mr. Cathey. The settlement amount that Mr. Cathey negotiated with the insuran...ce company on my behalf was 10 times more than what I expected to receive. He handled my case very quickly and professionally. He was very personable and never made me feel confused about what was going on. I especially liked that he kept me informed about the status of the case with the insurance company. I would definately call on him again if needed and would highly recommend him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
