Flagship Lawdragon guide honors name partners in plaintiff litigation

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dean Omar Branham Shirley, a plaintiff firm known for aggressively advocating for the rights of consumers, announced that name partners Jessica Dean and Trey Branham have been named among the nation’s most talented and experienced attorneys in Lawdragon’s 500 Leading Lawyers in America for 2025.

Lawdragon describes this guide as a celebration of “lawyering and those whose art is its craft.”

“Thank you to those who considered us for this honor,” stated Mr. Branham. “The work our firm does means far more to us than accolades. That said, we appreciate that we’ve been included.”

Ms. Dean has devoted her career to representing victims of mesothelioma, which is caused by exposure to asbestos, against industry giants and bad actors. Her work has generated millions of dollars in jury verdicts for her clients. Lawdragon honors her for her plaintiff personal injury practice.

Mr. Branham, known for decades of plaintiff-side personal injury work, is an advocate for the most victimized Americans. He earned his spot for his excellence in plaintiff consumer litigation.

These honors follow an outstanding 2024, a year in which the firm secured millions of dollars from at least half a dozen verdicts, including a $45 million Chicago jury verdict against Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ).

The 500 Leading Lawyers in America guide honors attorneys who have been rigorously vetted and researched before being nominated. Explore the complete list of distinguished attorneys included in this year’s guide here.
