Mason Gabriel Van Pastrana is an Attorney at Dean Omar Branham Shirley, LLP who earned his Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Fordham University in 2016 and his law degree from the University of Texas School of Law in 2019. He began his legal career in Austin, Texas handling personal injury litigation before joining DOBS to focus on asbestos exposure cases. Originally intending to practice intellectual property law, he discovered that litigation better suited his courtroom skills.

He is motivated by holding companies accountable for irresponsible actions that affect public safety and by the belief that mesothelioma, as a preventable disease, demands vigorous litigation to drive regulatory change.
