Deuterman is respected and revered by his peers for his expertise in these types of cases. He has negotiated some of the highest workers' compensation settlements in North Carolina.

In 2005, he was admitted to the Bar of the United States Supreme Court.
Deuterman began his career as attorney representing insurance companies and employers in cases against injured workers, but after five years, he switched to the "other side." He now has more than a decade of experience representing people in workers' compensation, Social Security disability and other injury cases.
Because of his own successful negotiations on behalf of clients, Deuterman frequently lectures about mediation to legal groups associations and law students.

They volunteer their time and their financial resources on behalf of Kids' Chance of North Carolina, a scholarship program for children of workers who have been seriously injured or killed on the job. The Deutermans have also established the Daniel Lyndon and Dawne Talbert Deuterman Scholarship at the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Law.
