The firm's origins reach back to 1904, when James E. Rocap, Sr. founded a legal practice in Indianapolis. The Rocap name has remained attached to the practice across several generations of lawyers, which places the firm within the city's long-established legal community.
Indianapolis, the capital of Indiana and the seat of Marion County, was a center of state government and commercial activity. Law firms in the city served courts, businesses, and individuals across the region, and a general practice combined several fields of law within a single office.
