About Dean D.
Dean D. Stein is an Alabama lawyer whose background crosses law, business and accounting. He pursued technical and business studies early, earning an A.A. in Data Processing and a B.S. in Business Finance from the University of Akron in 1981. He went on to earn an MBA in Business from the University of South Florida in 1985. His legal training came later; he graduated from Birmingham School of Law in 1998, where his studies emphasized wills and probate.
Stein earned a professional accounting credential before or during his legal career. He is a Certified Management Accountant through the National Association of Accountants. That credential sits alongside his academic record and suggests a steady interest in financial systems and analysis. He is also listed as a member of the Financial Management Association National Honor Society, an affiliation that goes back to 1983.
His entry into private legal practice is recorded in 2003. Since that year he has been associated with Harville-Stein Law Offices, LLC. He is also a member of the Birmingham Bar Association; his membership is recorded from 2003 to the present. Public materials list him as a lawyer at Harville-Stein, but do not list a bar number or a specific year of bar admission.
Stein’s educational path and professional credentials suggest work at the intersection of legal and financial matters. His J.D. noted law-wills and probate, and his CMA credential signals formal training in accounting and management information. That combination is common among attorneys who handle estate administration, probate accounting and related matters where financial and legal questions meet.
Colleagues and clients who consult public records will find a profile that mixes years of business and finance study with later legal specialization. He moved from a foundation in data processing and finance into graduate business study, then completed legal training focused on wills and probate. The recorded professional timeline places him at Harville-Stein Law Offices, LLC beginning in 2003 and a continuing member of the Birmingham Bar Association.
He currently practices at Harville-Stein Law Offices, LLC and handles wills, probate and related estate matters.
