With a deep-seated commitment to serving the community, John DeWulf was awarded  Home Protection Attorney of the Year from the Volunteer Lawyers Program.

Featured in the January 2023 issue of Maricopa Lawyer for his outstanding litigation work, John took on a full-fledged case against a real estate company that had deceived a retired disabled man into selling his home. John and his legal assistant Verna Colwell were able to save the client’s home and force the real estate company to pay the client $15000.  This is in addition to the work he and Verna have done over the years, including handling numerous guardianship and adoption matters to protect children and provide them with safe homes.

“I feel good that I am in a position where I can help. Situations like this prove that we get more than we give when we handle VLP matters,” said John.

John is highly regarded among clients and colleagues for his successful commercial litigation practice, where he handles complex trials, hearings, and other matters before state and federal courts as well as administrative agencies.
