Description

Dale Swope jokes that he’ll pay a thousand dollars to anyone that can prove they’ve been more broke than he’s been.  He had to take losing cases no one else would touch and find a way to win them.  He did, including his first personal injury case, a case that he never dreamt he would face.  Along the way, he not only made a living, but has built a vibrant law practice from the ground up, that today has 11 lawyers with its offices in a remodeled old Tampa brewery.


He is a recent past president of the Florida Justice Association and is in the Eagle Hall of Fame for his lifetime of contributions.  He’s a recipient of the Mickey Smiley award for mentorship.  In fact, it was through the FJA – and a special mentor - that Dale Swope saw an opportunity to create a niche, practicing Bad Faith law.  


Dale Swope sat down with Florida Justice Association Radio host Harvey Bennett in May of 2019 to talk about his love of courtroom battle, breaking the money cycle, and building and running a law firm that he has designed to survive him.
