Our Philosophy
One of the reasons that my wife, Dawne, and I established the Deuterman Law Group in 2003 was because we thought there was a better way to work, to treat employees and to serve our clients. When we started the Deuterman Law Group, our primary goals were: to set an extremely high standard in the quality of our work for our clients, and in our professionalism and ethics in the practice of law; to obtain justice for our clients; and to have a positive impact on our community.
We believe we have achieved those goals. In these last seven years, the Deuterman Law Group has been repeatedly recognized for our ethics, our community service and our commitment to employees and clients. Those rewards are a direct result of our philosophy of putting people first and treating them well, always.
Our goal isn’t simply to settle cases, but rather to do whatever is necessary to take care of the “whole client” by ensuring that our clients receive not only financial compensation for their injuries, but also the best medical care possible, the best psychological support and access to other resources that will aid in their recovery and improved well-being. Our attorneys, paralegals and office staff make it our mission to help clients adjust to life after their injuries, and sometimes life without their employer of injury. We help put injured people’s lives back on track.
Here at the Deuterman Law Group, things that are all in a day’s work would be considered above and beyond the call of duty at other law firms:
- Assisting clients with filing for Short Term Disability, Long Term Disability, Unemployment Compensation, Medicaid, Social Security Disability, Supplemental Security Income, Vocational Resources
- Helping coordinate their medical treatment by directing them to the finest physicians in the country
- Assisting clients in financial trouble by directing them to agencies and community groups that can help with their everyday needs, their bills, and their medical expenses.
Ensuring that our clients deal with the psychological, as well as the physical, impact of their injuries.
We are hyper-focused on customer service — unusual for law firms — and we’ve looked to the hospitality and retail industries for their best practices. Our clients often tell us that we’re not what they expected from a law firm, and they mean it as a compliment. They’re consistently amazed that our people care about them, that we take the time to listen and that we’re actually very nice. Such comments are as gratifying as any “big win” in court. They keep us motivated and working hard for our clients.
Putting people first. It’s such a simple philosophy, but it has served us and our clients well.
