30+ years of telling insurance companies "not enough"

D.R. Patti & Associates was founded in Las Vegas in 1991. Since then, the firm has recovered $400 Million+ for injured Nevadans, earned a 10.0 "Superb" rating on Avvo, and been ranked among the Top 100 Trial Lawyers in the country.

Those numbers matter less than what produced them. A lot of personal injury firms in this town run a volume business: an offer comes in, it's fast money, and they take it. Dean Patti built this firm to do the opposite. When an insurance company's first number isn't close to fair, we fund the investigation, the experts, and the fight ourselves, for as long as it takes, and we carry that financial risk personally.

That's why the firm's real track record isn't just the size of the verdicts, it's how many of them started with an insurer saying "no case," "denied," or offering pennies on the dollar before we proved otherwise. See the case results →

Honest, even when it costs us

Dean built this firm on a simple rule: tell clients the truth. If a case isn't strong, we say so instead of stringing someone along. We won't help inflate a minor claim, and we won't touch a fraudulent one. After more than three decades, Dean doesn't need the next fee. And that's exactly why clients get a straight answer instead of a sales pitch. Read why we fight →

A team that's seen the other side

Beyond Dean, our senior team includes attorneys with prior insurance-defense experience. They've built the case an insurance company makes against an injured person, which means we know exactly how to take it apart. Meet the attorneys →
