Clients rate this firm highly on Google.
Deutschmann de Koning Law is a personal injury and disability insurance firm based in Kitchener. Rob Deutschmann founded it as Deutschmann Law, and the practice has run for close to thirty years. The name changed to Deutschmann de Koning Law on March 3, 2025, a year after Nick de Koning became a partner. The focus is narrow on purpose. The firm concentrates almost entirely on personal injury and denied disability claims, and it doesn't spread into unrelated areas of law.
Its files run from motor vehicle, motorcycle, pedestrian, and bicycle collisions to slip and fall injuries, catastrophic, brain, and spinal cord injuries, wrongful death, and long-term disability benefits an insurer has refused to pay. Cases are taken on contingency, so there's no retainer to start, the firm carries the expenses, and the fee is capped at 25 percent and comes out only if the claim is paid. Consultations are free, and lawyers will meet clients at home or in hospital when an injury makes travel hard. The head office is on Kingsway Drive in Kitchener, with consultation offices in Cambridge and Woodstock and by-appointment meetings in Brantford, Stratford, and Guelph.

The neighbourhood
The head office sits at 2263 Kingsway Drive, in the Fairview area of southeast Kitchener. It's a short drive from Fairview Park Mall and the Conestoga Parkway, so clients coming in from Cambridge, Guelph, or Woodstock reach it without threading through downtown. That road access matters for a firm whose files come from across southwestern Ontario. It also fits how the practice runs. When an injury makes travel hard, lawyers go to the client instead, meeting at home or in hospital, and the firm keeps consultation offices in Cambridge and Woodstock for people closer to those towns.
