About Our Firm

About Badey, Sloan & DiGenova, P.C.

A Firm Built on Thoughtful Advocacy

Badey, Sloan & DiGenova, P.C. is a Philadelphia-based litigation firm built to handle serious legal matters with care, preparation, and judgment. While the firm is intentionally not large, its reach and impact extend far beyond its size. Every case is approached with the understanding that outcomes are shaped not only by the law itself, but by the people responsible for applying it.

Clients come to the firm during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Our role is to listen carefully, evaluate each matter honestly, and pursue the course of action that best serves the client’s long-term interests. That work is carried out by a coordinated team of attorneys, legal professionals, and staff who understand that effective advocacy depends on precision at every stage.

What We Stand For

Principles That Guide Our Practice

Badey, Sloan & DiGenova is guided by a set of core principles that shape how cases are accepted and handled:

Integrity

in evaluating and pursuing claims responsibly

Respect

for clients, courts, and the legal process overall

Accountability

for decisions, outcomes, and consequences

Commitment

to preparation, accuracy, and justice for our clients

The firm does not accept every case. Matters are evaluated carefully, and representation is undertaken only when the facts and the law support moving forward. This approach allows the firm to devote the necessary attention and resources to each case it handles.

Our Attorneys

Strategic Leadership at Every Stage

The attorneys at Badey, Sloan & DiGenova serve as both advocates and advisors. Clients work directly with their attorneys, from the initial evaluation through resolution, ensuring continuity and informed decision-making throughout the case.

The firm’s attorneys bring experience in trial courts, appellate courts, and administrative proceedings. This breadth of perspective allows them to anticipate how cases may evolve and to prepare accordingly. Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach, attorneys tailor strategy to the facts, the applicable law, and the client’s goals.

A Tribute to Robert Sloan

What Would Bob Do?

We lost Bob Sloan, beloved founding partner, to cancer in 2010. He was a great lawyer, a great man, and a great friend. He lives on in the spirit of our firm, as an inspiration and a guiding “voice.”

We often ask each other, “What would Bob do?” when faced with a dilemma. We know the answer will always fall on the side of helping the injured and those in need, genuinely caring about people, and always behaving with honesty, courage, and integrity in pursuit of what’s right.

Thank you, Bob! We miss you and will carry on with your values in what we do every day.

The work of Badey, Sloan & DiGenova is supported by a small, highly experienced team of legal professionals who play an essential role in the firm’s daily operations and client relationships. Our legal professionals and staff are not behind the scenes at this firm; they are integral to how cases are prepared, managed, and communicated.

From coordinating medical records and court filings to serving as the first point of contact for clients and families, this team ensures that no detail is overlooked and that clients feel supported throughout the legal process.

Our legal professionals and staff work closely with attorneys to manage complex caseloads, meet critical deadlines, and maintain clear, responsive communication. Their familiarity with the firm’s cases, procedures, and long-standing clients allows for a level of consistency that larger, more fragmented offices often lack.
