He began law school at the University of Toledo in 2009, where he was quickly offered a job as a judicial research clerk – and eventually a courtroom bailiff – on a full time basis. He worked to complete his Juris Doctorate at night while working full time in court. This afforded him the unique opportunity to test and observe law school lessons in real time in a busy courtroom with a frenetically paced docket.

Dennis entered private practice in 2013, with roots as a solo practitioner. At first, he began taking whatever cases he could get as he built up a practice and reputation. Over time, however, his practice began to focus on personal injury, civil rights, state and federal litigation and business related legal issues. He has tried several cases to juries, with an overwhelmingly positive win ratio.

In 2017, he entered practice with his father and his brother and co-founded the law firm Sawan & Sawan. As managing partner, Dennis was responsible for a wide array of day to day management duties – ranging from legal services to client relationship management to marketing strategy and execution. In this role, Dennis is proud to have recovered millions of dollars for personal injury clients, vindicated the rights of clients across the legal spectrum, and won a landmark, unanimous free speech case in the Ohio Supreme Court.

In July of 2022, Dennis began working for the Nick Schnyder Law Firm LLC as a senior trial lawyer. In this role, he is fortunate to be able to continue fighting tirelessly for the rights of the injured throughout Georgia and Florida.

In his free time, Dennis owns and operates a professional photography and videography company called Right Half Media – aptly named for the contrast with the analytical pursuit of law found in the more creative half of the brain. In this capacity, he has completed work for companies big and small – from local startups to international hospitality brands. He also leverages this creative toolkit to drive sales and brand awareness for his law practice – and to remain on the cutting edge of legal marketing.
