Tallahassee, Florida – Tampa attorney Dale Swope last week became the 58th president of the Florida Justice Association. Swope took the leadership reins of the organization at the Florida Justice Association’s 2017 Annual Conference in St. Pete Beach.

“I’m honored my colleagues have placed their trust in me to lead the Florida Justice Association at this consequential time for civil justice in our state and country,” said Swope after being sworn into office. “We are the trusted advocates every day Floridians turn to when they seek justice after they are hurt by rich and powerful insurance companies and corporations. We will continue our work from the courthouse to the statehouse to protect access to justice for all.”

Swope, 63, is the managing partner of Swope, Rodante P.A. He succeeds Tallahassee attorney James “Jimmy” Gustafson, a shareholder with Searcy Denney Scarola Barnhart & Shipley P.A., as president for a one-year term.
