Lone Star Legal Aid Pro Bono Awards recognize attorneys, law firms and community partners who donate their time and legal expertise to ensure that all East Texas residents have equal access to the courts. Ms. Wulf will be formally recognized on October 28, 2021 at 10:30 a.m. at the Smith County Court by The Honorable Nathaniel Moran, Smith County Judge, with an Award Certificate from Lone Star Legal and the Honorable J.

ABOUT CHERYL WULF

Ms. Wulf primarily handles cases involving family law, civil litigation, and criminal defense. Prior to opening her own practice, she practiced as an insurance defense attorney in Houston, Texas.
Ms. Wulf chose to become a trial attorney because it allows her to “help people who are going through what is sometimes the most difficult situation in their life,” while also allowing her to give back to the community by providing pro bono services to those in need. She also provides discounted services for our first responders and veterans.
Ms. Wulf is married to Curtis Wulf and they have three children.
