About Dean
Biography
I have been practicing personal injury law in Seattle for more than 36 years and have successfully tried, arbitrated, and settled thousands of personal injury cases since 1986, helping clients recover millions of dollars.
The opportunity I have to serve, to help, to counsel people through their challenging times is humbling and satisfying. I love my practice and serving my clients, to make their lives better.
I’m also committed to mentoring a new generation of lawyers, and I’m proud of my work as the Executive Director of the Seattle University School of Law’s Solo and Low Bono Incubator Program. I regularly speak about how to build a successful solo practice.
I am also a recipient of the APEX aware for Legal Innovation, and an adjunct professor at the Seattle University School of Law.
We are dedicated to going the extra mile from start to finish in our personal injury cases.
