About
A life-long resident of Acworth, Dean graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Accounting from Kennesaw State University and received a master’s degree in accounting from Samford University. After a short stint with a Big Four accounting firm, Dean obtained his Juris Doctor from Cumberland School of Law. Cumberland is a top 10 ranked trial school in the country. While in law school, Dean was one of few students to obtain a third-year practice card allowing him to practice full-time for a national insurance company where he defended a wide array of clients in all stages of litigation.
Within merely seven months of practicing law, Dean made partner with a top-rated firm in Marietta. Such a short time is unprecedented. After practicing with that firm for several years, Dean founded The Phillips Law Firm.
