I have had the pleasure of using Bob's services several times— his integrity, knowledge, and experience have consistently impressed me. His deep understanding of the law and dedication to his clients set him apart, not to mention his empathetic nature. I have recommended him to several friends and colleagues, all of whom have had equally positive experiences. If you're looking for a trustworthy and highly skilled attorney, he is the one to call.

Rennie was amazing and compassionate through the whole process. She is so knowledgeable and really understands what details are needed in a visitation schedule. That knowledge saved me what I could only imagine would have been a lot of heartbreak and turmoil later on. She was with me every step of the way making sure I was standing up for what I deserved and helping me make informed decisions on when I should compromise.

Isaiah has been my lawyer for three years. He helped me through a divorce and custody battle as well as a criminal case. I’ve never doubted him and have trusted his advice and knowledge over the years. Isaiah has his clients best interest at heart. He will go to the ends of the world to make sure he is doing everything he possibly can to help you. I always feel like I’m his only client. He is dedicated, determined, smart, not afraid to ask his associates for help in order to handle your case with the best of his abilities. He isn’t afraid of the courtroom. I can’t say enough great things about him. I am very grateful and lucky to have Isaiah on my side. This is the man you want to fight along side you in court.

I worked with both Rob Stepans (in Jackson, WY) and Ryan Shaffer (in Missoula, MT) over the course of a year from 2014-2105. They are fantastic attorneys and they have a dedicated support staff who are top notch as well! Together, they make a great team. Rob and Ryan are smart, professional and really know their stuff. They helped me work through a very difficult and stressful time (the loss of a job) and showed (and taught me) incredible insight and patience. They were accessible every step of the way and when a more than suitable resolution was reached, I felt I could put things behind me and move on. I had never sought legal assistance prior to meeting them, so this was all very new to me. I interviewed several other attorneys in the region, and am so glad I found them, it was a perfect fit. I would recommend Meyer, Shaffer & Stepans 100%!

Rob and Ryan represented our commercial leasing company in a landlord tenant dispute. We needed a legal team willing to tackle a case many attorneys would avoid. From the start they were diligent, hard working and compassionate. They listened to our case and offered honest expectations. Their level of professionalism throughout the process was noted by many involved. It also gave us confidence and I feel an advantage over the opposing counsel. Their communication was excellent. They returned phone calls, answered any questions and explained issues in understandable terms. Our case was very complicated and required a high level of knowledge of numerous fields. Ultimately, we were successful in reaching a settlement just days before trial. Rob and Ryan were fully prepared for trial and the defendants conceded. We received a settlement that exceeded our expectations. I continue to use and rely on Rob and Ryan for numerous legals matters and advice. I have referred them to friends and associates with full confidence.

When my small construction company became involved in civil litigation, my contractor’s insurance provided my company with a capable defense, but hiring Ms. Megan Goetz to represent me personally is what led to a much better outcome than I ever would have believed possible. Throughout the process, Ms. Goetz provided exactly the right level of involvement, advising me which steps could be handled by my corporate attorney and which decisions needed her input, saving me thousands of dollars. As the trial date approached, I walked into the Pence and MacMillan conference room for mediation, thinking that by the end of the day, I might need a referral to a bankruptcy attorney. Instead, Ms. Goetz ensured that my insurance company provided maximum coverage while minimizing the impact on my company, and successfully brought the whole matter to a quick resolution. Ms. Goetz gave me my company and my life back, and I highly recommend her!

We hired Alex Freeburg to help out with a nasty issue. My family had lost a tidy sum of money to a construction contractor who had then ghosted on us. We were worried we would not get any of our money. But, Alex got us sorted out after just a couple of meetings. He had some great ideas. Sadly, we were not able to get all of our money back. Alex made us feel a lot better while he worked on the case, and he won the judgment against the defendant. We would hire Alex again in a heartbeat.

I haven't (luckily) had too many run-ins with law enforcement, but when I did, as an out of town traveler in WY, I was terrified. It was a product of unfortunate circumstance, and I didn't know where to turn and what to do. I feared that if I contracted a lawyer, (s)he'd take an arm and a leg and leave me to still pay heavy court fines without any result. But I also realized that I needed one, and after a few weeks of deep research, I landed on Ryan Wright. Initially, his education and reviews sold me on the firm, but from the beginning it was clear to me that I had made an excellent decision for one of the most stressful moments in my life. Ryan, from the get go, was intelligent, a keen listener, and shrewd in his approach. He has an excellent understanding of the law as well as intuition for nuance, and – most importantly – goes wayyyy above and beyond to ensure that his clients have the best deal possible. He did that for me than anyone I've ever hired, at a very fair (and even slightly below market) price. In the end, I got a pocket deferral, which to laypeople (such as myself) is the equivalent of the holy grail in court results – it happens very, very rarely. Don’t get me wrong – Ryan never guaranteed that result (he couldn’t – no lawyer can – due to the element of chance) but I have no doubt in my mind that he did every single thing in his power to make that happen. If you’re debating whether Ryan is a sound choice – I hope this review puts your mind at ease. I’d choose him as my lawyer 10/10 times, and I am by nature someone cautious and slow to build trust with. Thank you Ryan, for everything :) Happy holidays to you, your family, and the Wright Law Firm family!

In the fall of 2012 I was injured in an auto accident that left me permanently disabled and forced to live with chronic pain and nerve damage. I hired John Bowers as my attorney to settle my case with the person at fault and his insurance company in order to help cover my medical expenses. John and his law firm did an excellent job representing me. His experience and knowledge proved clearly he is a man with integrity who worked hard to achieve the very best, fair and honorable outcome possible. It was difficult dealing with corporate insurance companies who definitely could care less about you and what you have to deal with and the pain you have to live with the rest of your life. John cares about his clients and treats you like family. John seeks the very best outcome possible and tries to make the best out of a bad situation. I would most definitely seek out John's advise and legal help if I were to ever need any legal representation in the future.

He really cares about his clients, thier well being and that they are taken care of. That's what I noticed the first 5 minutes I spent with him, and from there on out I was comfortable seeing him, talking, discussing my case. He even went out of his way to drop off documents at my work place to have signed because I couldn't get away. I was blown away by the treatment I received. I highly reccomend Jeremy Kisling!

If you are in need of an attorney in the state of Wyoming seek no further, Jamie Woolsey, is the one. She is so professional but overall she is so patient and understanding. If you are like me that is not into law and don’t understand all that language, she takes her time and explains it to in ways that you understand. She gives you examples that make sense. Overall I appreciate it is her who is in contact with you directly and also keeps you informed. She doesn’t just collect money from you, she goes beyond to assist you. I highly recommend her services. I hope we won’t need her but if we did we definitely use her once again.

From my first meeting in Jamie Woolsey's office I knew I had made the right decision . She showed me genuine concern for my legal issue, explained the legal process and how we would move forward. Jamie is trustworthy and is eager to get the job done right. I am one of many clients and cases she has, but I have been treated as if I am her only one. She is a strong educated woman and I am glad she is on my side of the court room.

James has worked for us for nearly four years. First, to insure that we received grandparent visitation rights and then to insure these rights were upheld following attempts to have them overturned. James' diligence, thoroughness and knowledge are all top notch!

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You

A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.

Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.

When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?

It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:

  • Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
  • Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
  • Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
  • Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
  • Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
  • Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.

What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?

Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:

  • Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
  • Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
  • Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
  • Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
  • Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
  • Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
  • Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.

How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?

Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:

  • Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
  • Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
  • Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.

The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.

How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:

  • Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
  • Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
  • Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
  • Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.

Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.

Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer

Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you’ll want to ensure that they’re a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:

  1. What is your experience with cases like mine?
    Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges you’re facing, whether it’s DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs.
  3. What are the potential outcomes of my case?
    A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction.
  4. How many cases have you taken to trial?
    While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, it’s important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial.
  5. Who will handle my case?
    Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work.
  6. How do you communicate with your clients?
    Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.

How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer

To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
  • Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
  • Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
  • Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:

  • Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
  • Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
  • List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
  • Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.

By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
