Pursuing Full Compensation
After A Car Crash, Slip-And-Fall Or Other Severe Accident
I am attorney Leslie Waycaster. In my four decades of practice, I have represented hundreds of injured people in northwest Georgia and statewide. Those personal injury cases have ranged widely and include auto collisions, slip-and-falls, assaults, defective products, medical negligence and work-related injuries.
I don’t operate a high-volume practice; I take fewer cases and really dig into them. My mission is to support clients in recovering as fully as possible from an accident. That means preparing the strongest case for full compensation and standing up to the insurance companies. I know what your case is worth, and I won’t sell you short.

Litigator, Mediator,
Problem Solver
I have tried more than 100 cases to jury verdict in 25 counties of Georgia and numerous trials in federal court. Once I get involved in a case, my experience as a trial lawyer commonly results in a settlement without the need for a trial. In and out of court, my litigation experience works in your favor.
Understanding the
Benefits of Mediation
I strongly believe in solving problems, not creating more problems. I take a practical approach to law that focuses on addressing issues effectively and efficiently. My preferred method is mediation because this form of dispute resolution is often more streamlined than litigation and allows parties to retain control over the decision-making process. However, if matters need to be handled through litigation, you can rest assured that I will come prepared and be the aggressive advocate you need and deserve.
