For more than 35 years, Dean has devoted his career to one mission: securing justice—and life-changing results—for people who have been injured through no fault of their own. A veteran trial lawyer and seasoned negotiator, Dean has successfully resolved thousands of personal-injury cases nationwide, earning a reputation for turning hard-fought battles into multi-million-dollar victories. Courtroom wins include:
Dean’s track record also spans complex, high-stakes litigation. He was appointed National Class Counsel in a landmark case representing 16,000 insurance agents—proof that when the fight is big, Dean is at his best. His peers have honored him repeatedly as a “Super Lawyer,” and he is a proud Fellow of the Texas Trial Lawyers Association, as well as an active member of the New Mexico Trial Lawyers Association and the Oklahoma Association for Justice.
Before entering private practice, Dean spent years inside the insurance world—first in sales, then as a claims adjuster. That firsthand knowledge of how insurers value, delay, and deny claims now gives his clients a decisive edge at the negotiating table and in the courtroom.
Raised in South Oak Cliff, Dean learned early that commitment and grit pay dividends; at just 16 he made First-Team All-District linebacker at Dallas-area powerhouse W.T. White High School. After earning a Psychology degree from Abilene Christian University (1985) and a J.D. from SMU Dedman School of Law (1990), he began practicing in Dallas before bringing his talent westward. Today, Dean leads a 26-member team serving clients from offices in Amarillo, Lubbock, and Albuquerque, while litigating cases anywhere the call arises.
Dean’s recognizable advertising is matched only by his commitment to the communities he serves. From sponsoring local events to supporting charities that lift up West Texas and New Mexico families, he believes great lawyers should also be great neighbors.
Dean and his wife, Heidi—who works closely with the firm—share a bustling, blended family of three daughters, three stepsons, and ten (soon to be eleven) grandchildren. Whether cheering at a grandchild’s game or mentoring young lawyers, Dean’s passion for people drives everything he does.
