Dean Gresham

I am relentless in fighting for justice for my clients that have been injured or killed by the wrongful conduct of others. I have faced off against some of the largest corporations in the country and won. I bring a unique approach to litigation that helps me see solutions where other lawyers see problems. I often take on and turn around legal cases that have often been turned down by other lawyers. Over my career, I’ve found that applying a creative, outside-the-box approach to these complex legal issues makes all the difference for my clients.

My practice is focused on catastrophic injury and wrongful death litigation across the country that arises from negligence, gross negligence, defective products, corporate greed, premises liability, malpractice, and toxic torts.

I began my legal career defending companies that were sued for causing injuries. After two years, I saw first-hand the greed and dishonesty of big corporations and insurance companies, and I switched sides to only represent people that were injured and needed a voice.

There was one case in particular that I worked on involving a young boy who died after falling off a slide on a Dairy Queen playground. After handling that case, I knew I couldn’t work for big corporations and insurance companies anymore. I was put on this earth to help people, not harm them. So, far the last 20 years, I have spent my time relentlessly fighting for those without a voice. I handle all types of catastrophic injury and death cases.

I am honored to have been chosen by my peers to receive many awards and accolades, including:
• One of the Best Lawyers in Dallas by D Magazine in 2009-2024
• One of the Top 100 Trial Lawyers in Texas by the The National Trial Lawyers Association (2010-2024)
