About Dean Ralph Brett
Growing up on Badger Mountain in Eastern Washington, Dean Ralph Brett was surrounded by books despite the absence of modern amenities like TV and electricity. His early passion for reading and advocacy was recognized by his father, who predicted Dean would become a lawyer for real people, not corporations.
Dean's academic journey took him from Poverty Point to Whitman College in Walla Walla, where he earned a scholarship due to his outstanding entrance exam scores. Seeking broader horizons, he attended Stanford Law School near San Francisco. While many peers joined large firms in major cities, Dean chose to return to the Pacific Northwest, driven by a desire to make a difference.
Since beginning his practice in 1972, Dean has specialized in personal injury law, focusing on cases where individuals are injured through no fault of their own and face challenges with insurance companies. His career mirrors his family's involvement in horse racing, where persistence and success with small cases led to larger opportunities. Over time, Dean achieved significant settlements and verdicts, aligning his practice with his father's vision of advocating for the 'little guy.'
Dean's family history in horse racing, with his Uncle Lloyd's 25-year career as a jockey, parallels his approach to building a successful law practice. Starting with challenging cases, Dean's dedication and results have attracted more significant claims, allowing him to choose clients who need his expertise most.
