Dennis Seaman is the founder and managing partner of Dennis Seaman & Associates Co., L.P.A. Dennis has had over 38 years of experience handling cases involving motor vehicle accidents, construction site accidents, premises accidents, defective product claims, medical and professional malpractice claims, nursing home negligence claims, wrongful death claims, workers' compensation claims, job site accident claims, and claims against employers for intentional acts.

Dennis has dedicated his entire legal and personal life adjudicating and protecting the rights of injured workers and citizens. In addition to his professional career of protecting the rights of injured consumers, he has assisted the general community through his involvement in many civic organizations.

My Story:

Coming from a solid working class family Dennis Seaman has a real understanding of the lives of hard working people he represents. He is at his best when he is working for those who need a strong voice to protect their best interests within the legal system.

"I enjoy being an advocate for the downtrodden," says Dennis. "Every life is important to me, no one is insignificant in my eyes. That is why I treat my clients equally, fairly and am proud to call many of them my friends. I get up every day and it is David versus Goliath, and I'm grateful I can provide justice for the people I represent."

It is this sense of responsibility for others that has been the hallmark of Dennis's life. He has selflessly devoted himself to running neighborhood youth groups for the past 30 years. He has taken teens on educational trips overseas, and has personally funded scholarships for needy students.

"I strongly believe in volunteer work and giving back to the community," says Dennis. "It's not always about writing checks. It's about rolling up your sleeves and pitching in. It's a great feeling when you are doing something that you know will have a positive, long lasting impact."

Dennis, a partner in Seaman Garson LLC, is also known to follow a different drummer. "I admire Winston Churchill because he was a statesman, not a politician and said things that he believed in, even though it was not politically expedient for him to do so," Dennis explains. "I've lived my life based upon my own principles, regardless of what anyone thinks about me. I've always been in the minority and that doesn't bother me, as long as I know I am doing the right thing and following my conscience."

Although Dennis enjoys hiking, swimming and the great outdoors, nothing gives him greater pleasure than his nine grandchildren. "One of the most wonderful bonuses my wife and I got from our three children is our grandchildren," he says. "I go to all their plays, baseball and basketball games, piano and dance recitals and soccer practices. As busy as I am, spending time with my grandchildren tops everything else. They make me feel forever young."
