Christine Latona is a Social Security Attorney at Deuterman Law Group, bringing a distinctive professional journey to her advocacy for disability claimants. She completed a dual degree program at the University of Pittsburgh before earning her Juris Doctor from Wake Forest University School of Law in 2000. Her legal career spans workers’ compensation defense, certified mediation, and plaintiff-side personal injury work before she found her calling in Social Security disability law — a practice shaped in part by her own health experiences and by watching her mother, a factory worker, navigate the system firsthand. Christine currently chairs the Disability Advocacy Section of the North Carolina Advocates for Justice and is a member of NOSSCR NextGen.
