A MISSION BASED ON PRINCIPLE
Fairness matters. But far too often the scales tip in favor of the more powerful, the corporations, and even our own Government. DeVerna Law was founded to restore the balance.
DeVerna Law will champion your rights holding both people and institutions accountable when their actions are unfair, dishonest, or unjust. John Paul DeVerna will fight for you.
DeVerna Law’s mission grows out of its founder’s dedication to public service. Mr. DeVerna, a former New York City Prosecutor, served in AmeriCorps, sits on his local Community Board, and teaches at a New York law school. He wants the voiceless to be heard. He gives the hopeless a reason to believe. John Paul DeVerna will put his experience to work for you.
