Throughout his legal career, Dean’s practice has focused on construction defect litigation. In 1993, Dean started devoting substantially all of his practice to condominium and multi-family residential defect cases. That practice has included successfully prosecuting claims directly against developers, general contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers and their respective insurance companies. Dean has always assisted his construction defect clients with their day to day general counsel issues. In recent years, that area of his practice has expanded greatly. Outside the office, Dean is an avid fly fisher and golfer, and is the proud father of two.
