DEATON LAW FIRM
Attorney Deaton does not come from money or privilege. He was raised by a single mother of six children in a blue-collar family from Detroit, Michigan. To say that they grappled with making ends meet would be an understatement. Those day to day financial struggles shaped Attorney Deaton’s work ethic and dedication essential to helping families and working class Americans.
Attorney Deaton first became interested in asbestos law as a teenager. A family member was diagnosed with an asbestos-related cancer and joined an aggregate lawsuit, which represented thousands of asbestos victims by a large plaintiffs’ firm. After a decade of litigation, endless paper work, and unmet expectations, he eventually received less than $3000 in compensation. Attorney Deaton has never forgotten the look on his family member’s face when he realized that he would pass away and the lawsuit that he had counted on to help provide for his family would not even cover his funeral expenses.
