I retained Bruce Atkins for an employment related matter. Bruce and his entire team are honest, professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. He really takes the time to guide his clients through a tough situation, and explain all avenues. He certainly has no fear of large corporate entities; and as a client, always feels like your best interest is his main focus. Although the road can be long, he never stops fighting for your interests. I can’t praise him enough, and highly recommend him and his team to anyone! If you want confidence and reassurance that your matter will be handled with a successful outcome, Bruce is your attorney. He is upfront and honest every step of the way leading you to the best realistic outcome possible. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome of my case. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose Bruce again and again!

I spoke to Diane Peyser who helped me clearly understand how to navigate my very difficult situation. Her expertise was exemplary, and her ability to help calm my concerns was excellent. My blood pressure literally went down after speaking with her. Thanks, Diane!

Unfortunately I have had to seek legal counsel on several occasions over the past 20 years. Fortunately I selected the firm of Deutsch Atkins & Kleinfeldt, P.C. to represent my interests on these occasions. In the 1990’s, Mr. Bruce Atkins represented me on an employment issue up to the Supreme Court of The State of New Jersey. The result was the establishment of a new law … “Bernard versus IMI”, testimony to the successful representation of my case by Mr. Atkins. In 2013, Mr. Atkins was my legal counsel in a five year action resulting from personal property damages and personal hardships. Over this entire time period, Mr. Atkins again demonstrated his commitment in representing my interests, tenacity to our established goals, flexibility in his strategic planning as demands warranted, and final negotiation of a agreeable settlement.

Bruce Atkins and everyone at the firm are knowledgeable, diligent, responsible and caring. I have known the firm for 40+ years and always have received the best advice, protection and, most important, results. Not only have they represented me for a wide variety of issues ( life can be that way ) but they successfully represented my dad before me. I trust Bruce and his staff because I’ve seen what they can do. If you are reading this you are probably considering hiring them. Don’t hesitate.

Bruce Atkins & Staff were instrumental in getting me a satisfactory settlement against my employer for several employment issues. Staff was very professional and quick to respond.

Mr. Atkins is a complete professional. He drafted me an iron clad 2 year contract and was available for all questions and follow-up. He also successfully guided me thru hardships at my previous employer.

I found my attorneys to be skilled and ethical. They were always available, responded quickly and made communications easy. I especially appreciated their coaching since I did not have prior knowledge and familiarities with the law or the ways the legal system operates.

Bruce was my support system throughout this process. When I was in need of help, he was there for me (before I was even an official client). He was able to easily identify countless laws being broken after our initial consult and executed a foolproof remedy. The TLC that this firm provided to me was what got me through the hard times. Deutsch Atkins & Kleinfeldt, P.C. won this case on my behalf and gave me back the strength I temporarily lost. I will be forever grateful for their assistance and authentic care.
