Email from my friend Lee Raphael,It is with indescribable sadness that we inform our friends, clients, and business associates of the passing of Dean Prober, the firm’s senior partner and president. Dean passed away peacefully March 1, 2018, surrounded by his family after a heroic battle with cancer.
Dean was a graduate of UCLA and Southwestern School of Law. Dean’s passion for his practice and the law was second only to his unending love and devotion to his family, friends and co-workers. As one of the firm’s original partners, Dean worked tirelessly to build a law practice dedicated to the belief that you should never over promise to the client but instead do your darned best to surpass their expectations. The firm will carry on in Dean’s memory under the continued direction of managing partner Lee Raphael.
Dean’s infectious laugh, his love of cowboy boots, and his unwavering belief that this was the Dodgers’ year, will be missed by all who knew him. Above all else, Dean will be remembered for being a decent man who worked hard and wanted only the best for those around him. Dean is survived by his wife Debra, his children Erin, Blaine and Sydney and his son-in-law Cory. Dean’s family requests that any donations in his honor be made to the Camp Hess Kramer Center Camp Fund or the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation. Funeral services will be held at Mount Sinai Hollywood Hills on Monday, March 5th at 12:30 PM.
May his name forever be a blessing.
Thank you,
Lee S. Raphael | Managing Partner
