Using Wyoming LawHelp (Please Read)

Information, Not Legal Advice.  

  • Everybody's problems are unique.  This website cannot tell you how your case will be decided.  
  • This website can be used to help you learn the law.  It can help you understand your rights.  It can assist you in getting the help you need. 
  • If you need more help than this website can give on your specific problem, you should contact a lawyer.  If you are low-income and wish to apply for an attorney through Legal Aid of Wyoming, please click here.
  • Whether you are low-income or not, if you have questions about your case or are uncertain in any way, it is a good idea to talk to a lawyer before taking legal action.

Hiring a Lawyer.  

  • Hiring a lawyer is a big decision.  
  • Before hiring a lawyer, you should ask a lot of questions. 
  • Hire a lawyer you feel you can trust. 
  • This website gives information on what to look for in a lawyer.  This web site is not advertising for any  particular lawyer.
