Mr. Atkins believes employees have rights that should be aggressively pursued when an employer has wrongfully dealt with an employee. He brings this philosophy to his practice when considering each case and its potential outcomes. "The practice of plaintiffs’ employment law has allowed me to pursue the ideals that I graduated law school with because I’m helping ordinary people win against the big corporations," Mr. Atkins says. A member of the New Jersey, New York, and Florida bars, Mr. Atkins has had several major reported cases in the Supreme Court of the State of New Jersey and in the Appellate Division. He has been admitted to practice in the State Court of New Jersey, the Federal Court of New Jersey, the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, as well as the State of New York, the State of Florida and the U.S. Supreme Court. In addition, he has tried numerous cases in the State and Federal Courts in New Jersey as well as in Federal Court in New York. He obtained one of New Jersey’s largest verdicts in a single plaintiff discrimination case in the amount of $6.5 million, $1.5 million in Compensatory Damages and $5 million in Punitive Damages. The Court also awarded $638,000 in counsel fees and costs. That verdict was upheld on appeal. He also has extensive experience in commercial litigation, partnership and shareholder disputes and dissolutions as well as restrictive covenant, non-compete matters. Having commenced practice in 1977, Mr. Atkins has been AV rated (the highest rating) with Martindale-Hubbell since 1997, and in 2007, he was invited to beome a Fellow in the Litigation Counsel of America, a prestigious, peer-evaluated organization.

Neil H. Deutsch has been practicing law for over 35 years. Until 1986, he served several major corporations, including Dairylea and Panasonic, as Associate General Counsel, and Patent Scaffolding, a construction products division of a Fortune 300 company, as General Counsel. During this period, among his many other responsibilities, he handled employment discrimination matters and negotiated and administered union contracts. In 1986, he began his transition to private practice and soon thereafter became a plaintiff's employment and discrimination lawyer. His practice grew and, as of 2005, he was the sole shareholder of a firm of ten lawyers, paralegals and support staff. Mr. Deutsch has been the host of a radio show, the Employee Rights Forum, been a guest on several TV shows on employment law topics and conducted over 30 seminars for the public on employment and discrimination law. He has litigated many cases and tried them to favorable verdicts for his clients. Several of the cases that he has been involved in have set precedent and been published. One, which reached the New Jersey Superior Court, made it clear that plaintiff's are entitled to a jury trial even if their performance is lacking, so long as there is evidence of discrimination. Another established the principal that independent contractors, as well as employees, may assert claims under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination if they have been terminated for a discriminatory reason. Mr. Deutsch has been selected as a New Jersey Employment Litigation Super Lawyer in 2005, 2006 and 2008. He is a skilled negotiator and uses a bottom line approach, emphasizing risk analysis and cost effectiveness, so as to maximize his client's recovery. Mr. Deutsch is a member of the New Jersey Bar Association, the New Jersey Employment Lawyers Association and the National Employment Lawyers Association. He, along with his Partner, Bruce L. Atkins, formed Deutsch Atkins, P.C. in 2006.
Bruce L. Atkins is regarded as one of New Jersey’s premiere practitioners of employment and civil litigation. In recognition of Mr. Atkins' skill as an employment law attorney in NJ, he has been selected a New Jersey SuperLawyer each year since 2005 in Employment Litigation. This honor, bestowed upon a recipient by a vote of his peers, is a powerful nod to the skill Mr. Atkins brings to this area of the law.
