Learn more about attorney Waite below. Then contact us. Your case matters here.Like so many Alabamians, Dean Waite loves football. He was a college football referee in the SEC for four years. He was in the middle of the action, making calls on the gridiron. When you call Dean Waite for help with your personal injury case, you just might recognize his voice from local sports radio. Dean now hosts a segment called “Waite for the Call” where he talks about officiating calls made in games the previous weekend.

Dean Waite and his team did a fantastic job. Took care of everything and were thorough. Never once did they make us feel as if we were nagging or had too many question for them. Always kept us updated what was going on with our case. If you need a lawyer this is the place!

I have had a stint of bad luck the past few years. Last January I was a passenger in an accident where a teenage hit from behind going 60 mph. My neck was severely injured. As soon as I called they were always professional and responded in a timely manner. These insurance companies are extremely rude and terrible to deal with. I would recommend dean Waite if you want your case to be handled in a professional and timely manner. 10/10

Hired Attorney

They told me when we settled that my case was worth more than he was able to get the insurance company to understand. I'm an Uber driver. I had to rent a car while my car was being repaired. Per the rental agreement, I was not allowed to Uber in the rental, resulting in lost wages. My settlement did not include the amount to which I was entitled for lost wages. The law firm stated that they were unable to collect what the case was worth, and that they were too scared to go to court because the insurance company was so good in court, they might even pay less.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

Always research the lawyer further to get a better understanding of their license credentials, disciplinary status, background, and experience.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
