About Dean
From standing up for clients who have been seriously injured to coaching young athletes and mentoring new lawyers, Dean “Stan” Perkins is committed to helping people. A skilled attorney with 30 years of experience, Stan has successfully tried, arbitrated, and settled thousands of personal injury cases since 1986, helping his clients recover millions of dollars. He empowers his clients, helping good people who have been injured find justice and regain their lives.
He sees his practice as an opportunity to step into people’s lives and use his skills and resources to turn negatives into positives. Stan runs his law practice and his life with the same values he instilled as a youth coach: Expect the best, put in the effort, and share your gifts.
With his personal injury practice thriving, coaching young lawyers has become a major focus for Stan. He serves as a benefactor and mentor for recent law graduates of Seattle University School of Law, where he also serves as an adjunct professor. Read more about how he supports new lawyers through the Low Bono Incubator Program.
Helping his clients through their cases is his top priority.
“The opportunity I have to serve, to help, to counsel people through challenging times is humbling and satisfying. I love my practice and serving my clients to improve their lives and find justice.”
