Paul Gatto has spent his entire legal career standing up for injured people. He co-founded Swor & Gatto with Michael Swor in 1981, and from the start they made a deliberate choice: represent injured victims only, never the insurance companies. More than 50 years later, that's still exactly what Paul does.
Before he became a lawyer, Paul worked for a nationally recognized insurance company, where he learned the industry from the inside out, including its policies, its procedures, and how it decides what a claim is worth. That knowledge has paid off for his clients ever since. When Paul sits across from an adjuster or their attorney, he already knows how they think and where they'll push back.
Paul has practiced personal injury law exclusively since 1981. Before that, he tried numerous cases as both a criminal defense and personal injury trial lawyer in front of civil and criminal juries. Over his career he has handled more than 10,000 cases that were resolved successfully before ever reaching a jury trial.
If you've been hurt because of someone else's negligence, Paul brings a rare combination to your case: decades of courtroom experience, a deep understanding of how insurers operate, and a real commitment to the people he represents. Consultations are always free.
