Jacque Brawner Dean Inducted as Fellow of The College of Workers' Compensation Lawyers

Jacque Brawner Dean, an attorney with the law firm of McAfee & Taft, was one of 39 lawyers nationwide to be inducted as a fellow of The College of Workers’ Compensation Attorneys at its first annual induction dinner on March 2, 2007, in Naples, Florida.

Recently established by the American Bar Association, The College of Workers’ Compensation Lawyers honors attorneys who have distinguished themselves in the field of workers’ compensation law and who have been identified as possessing the highest professional qualifications and ethical standards, character, integrity, professional experience and leadership.  Members were selected based on the outstanding traits they have developed in their practice of 20 years or longer, either representing clients, serving as judges, or acting for the benefit of all in education, overseeing agencies and developing legislation.
 
Dean’s practice is focused exclusively on the defense of employers in workers’ compensation issues.  Her extensive experience in the field includes serving as a Workers’ Compensation Judge from 1984 – 1988 and as administrator of the Workers’ Compensation Court from 1982 – 1984.  She is also a noted author and frequent speaker on workers’ compensation issues at continuing education seminars, legal conferences and employer-sponsored workshops.

Dean’s extensive experience and practice has also earned McAfee & Taft the distinction of being selected as the sole Oklahoma member of the National Workers’ Compensation Defense Network, a network of independent law firms throughout the United States and Canada with an established workers’ compensation practice committed to providing quality representation and information to employers and the insurance industry.
