At Deutsch Atkins & Kleinfeldt, P.C., we take great pride in the legal services we provide to plaintiffs in workplace discrimination and employment matters throughout New Jersey and New York, so we are understandably gratified when our achievements are recognized by peers and professional organizations. We are excited to announce that in 2018, Deutsch Atkins attorneys are all recognized by Super Lawyers, a highly regarded rating service of lawyers in each state.

The selections for this esteemed list are made by the research team at Super Lawyers, which is a service of the Thomson Reuters legal division based in Eagan, Minnesota. Each year, they undertake a rigorous multiphase selection process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, independent evaluation of candidates by the attorney-led research staff, a peer review of candidates by practice area, and a good-standing and disciplinary check. The Super Lawyers list recognizes no more than five percent of attorneys in each state.
Our three associate attorneys were selected to the New Jersey Rising Stars list:
