Jessica Dean

Jessica Dean works at Dean Omar Branham Shirley, LLP. She is from St. Louis, MO and now lives in Dallas, TX with her husband and three dogs. She was lead trial counsel and obtained successful verdicts in Texas, Washington, Oregon, North Carolina, South Carolina, Iowa, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and California. She won the National Law Journal’s Top 100 verdicts for 4 of those verdicts. She argued to the Washington Supreme Court, who wrote an opinion validating the role and power of the jury to assess damages. The jury verdict of 81.5 million dollar was reinstated. See, Coogan v. Borg-Warner Morse Tec, Inc., 197 Wn.2d 790, 815, 490 P.3d 200 (2021). She is grateful to represent people who typically would not know how to navigate the legal system and very much hopes she is a source of comfort and strength for them and their families. Most of her clients were diagnosed with mesothelioma, a preventable cancer.
