For nearly 35 years, Dean Burnetti dedicated his career to helping people who were injured by someone else's negligence. Though his years of experience and legal expertise, he helps his clients seek the best possible settlements for their injuries. Dean grew up in his hometown of Elgin, Illinois where he was born. From an early age, he knew God called him to the pulpit. As soon as he graduated from high school, he headed to Oklahoma and attended seminary training. He earned a degree in Pastoral Ministries, then relocated to Florida to find a church that needed a pastor. But before he could step up to the lectern, God called on him to move in a different direction.After earnest prayer, Dean realized that God was directing him to assist wrongful injury victims. Dean vividly recalled a time in his youth when his own father was injured in a construction site accident; an injury that impacted his entire family. So, Dean registered at Warner University in Lake Wales and earned his Bachelor’s Degree. Then, he returned to Oklahoma and attended Oral Roberts University where he earned his law degree. Afterward, he came back to Florida and took the Florida Bar examination to become a licensed attorney. In his early years as a lawyer, Dean centered his practice on clients with workplace injuries. He became so intrigued with Florida’s Workers’ Compensation laws, that he decided to become Board Certified in Workers’ Compensation Law. He then took The Florida Bar’s challenging examination and passed the test on his first attempt. After the new millennium, God called upon Dean to expand his practice. Consequently, Dean opened his doors to victims of all types of accidents. Since Florida's Civil Injury Laws piqued his interest, Dean aspired to become Board Certified again. So, he took and passed The Florida Bar’s difficult test which Board Certified him in Civil Trial Law. Because Dean Burnetti is Florida Bar Board Certified in Civil Trial Law and Workers’ Compensation Law, the Florida Bar recognizes him as an expert attorney in these areas.
