Legal problems don’t wait for a good time. Whether you’re dealing with an injury, a business dispute, a workplace issue, or a property matter, the stakes are real—and the lawyers handling it should treat them that way.
Since 1986, we’ve served clients in Cheyenne, Star Valley, and throughout Wyoming with a hands-on approach backed by more than 175 years of combined experience.
See the standards that shape how we approach the work and the people who trust us with it.
We Get to Know the Person Behind the Case
A legal strategy can’t be separated from the person it’s meant to serve. We take time to understand the circumstances, concerns, and priorities behind each matter so our counsel reflects what actually matters to the client—not just what appears in a file.
As we put it, you can’t advocate for a client if you don’t know what they’re going through. That means real conversation, careful listening, and direct answers as a case develops. Clients shouldn’t have to wonder whether their attorney has seen an email or knows about a concern. We prioritize prompt responses and timely updates, and we reach out when there’s meaningful information to share rather than waiting to be asked.
Our attorneys offer free in-person and virtual consultations, giving prospective clients an opportunity to talk through their situation and decide whether we’re the right fit. From there, we tailor our approach to the legal needs and practical concerns at hand.
Prepared to Fight—At Every Stage
Some matters require a willingness to take a case beyond negotiation. We’ve handled litigation resulting in multi-million dollar verdicts, and our attorneys have appeared before the Wyoming Supreme Court, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, and other appellate forums. That range matters when a case grows more complex or continues beyond the trial court—we can evaluate where a matter may go while doing the detailed preparation each stage requires.
Our reputation is grounded in the work done before a hearing, filing, or appeal. We don’t let cases languish. We bring diligence to moving matters forward and keep clients informed about what the process requires every step of the way.
Recognized by Standards That Mean Something
Ratings don’t replace a conversation about your legal issue, but they provide useful context when comparing firms. Our recognitions reflect established evaluation standards and sustained work in the legal field.
Our recognitions include:
- An Avvo® 10.0 Superb Rating
- An AV Preeminent® rating from Martindale-Hubbell®
- Super Lawyers® Rising Stars recognition from 2018 through 2023
- “Top 10 Under 40” recognition from the National Academy of Personal Injury Attorneys
These distinctions complement something you can assess firsthand: whether we communicate clearly, take your concerns seriously, and explain the next step without losing sight of the larger picture.
One Firm for a Range of Legal Needs
Many legal issues touch more than one part of a person’s life or business. We provide legal support across personal injury, business law, labor and employment, estate planning, real estate, utilities and energy, and litigation—so clients have a firm they can return to as their needs evolve, not just a single transaction.
