A Criminal Charge in Wyoming Is Serious. Your Defense Should Be Too.
WHY REPRESENTATION MATTERS
Whether you are facing a misdemeanor or a felony, the Wyoming criminal justice system is not designed to go easy on you. Prosecutors are experienced, law enforcement is trained, and the consequences of a conviction extend far beyond the courtroom. A criminal record in Wyoming can affect your employment, your housing, your professional licenses, your right to own a firearm, your immigration status, and your ability to maintain custody of your children.
What most people do not realize is that the decisions made in the first hours and days after a charge — what you say, what you sign, whether you appear at arraignment with counsel — can shape the entire trajectory of your case. An experienced criminal defense attorney does not just show up for trial. They work the case from the moment they are retained, identifying weaknesses in the prosecution’s evidence, protecting your constitutional rights, and positioning you for the best possible outcome.
At Rogers & Garvie, criminal defense is not a sideline practice. Thomas Garvie built his career in Wyoming criminal courts and has tried cases to verdict across the state. When you hire us, you hire an attorney who is comfortable in a courtroom, knows the prosecutor’s playbook, and will not flinch when your case requires a fight.
What a Wyoming Conviction Can Cost You
Beyond fines and jail time, a criminal record affects:
Employment & professional licenses
Housing & rental applications
Right to own or possess a firearm
Immigration & visa status
Your reputation in the community
Federal student loan eligibility
Child custody arrangements
Security clearances
Family Law
PRACTICE AREA
Family law matters are among the most personal and consequential cases a person will ever face. Whether you are navigating a divorce, fighting for custody of your children, seeking a modification of an existing order, or protecting yourself through a civil protection order, the outcome of your case will shape your life and your family's life for years to come.
Wyoming courts determine custody based on the best interests of the child under Wyo. Stat. § 20-2-201, without a presumption in favor of either parent. That framework places enormous weight on how your case is presented — the quality of the evidence, the credibility of the parties, and the judgment calls your attorney makes throughout the process. We approach every family law matter with both the sensitivity it deserves and the strategic rigor it requires.
We represent clients in divorce, custody establishment and modification, child support, alimony, guardianship, conservatorship, and civil protection order proceedings. We practice in all Wyoming counties including Albany, Laramie, and Natrona counties, and handle remote or in-person representation for clients depending on their needs and resources.

Business Transactions & Litigation
PRACTICE AREA
Wyoming is one of the most business-friendly states in the country, with strong LLC and corporate protections, no state income tax, and a legal environment that supports entrepreneurship. Taking full advantage of that environment requires getting the legal foundation right from the start — and having experienced counsel when disputes arise.

Real Property
PRACTICE AREA
Real property matters in Wyoming carry unique complexity. The state's history of ranch land, water rights, mineral estates, and large-acreage transactions means that property issues here often involve considerations that do not arise in other states. A boundary dispute on a Wyoming ranch is not the same as a boundary dispute in a suburban subdivision — the stakes, the history, and the applicable law are all different.
We represent buyers, sellers, landowners, and businesses in real property transactions and disputes across the state. Whether you are closing on a piece of Wyoming land, navigating an easement conflict with a neighbor, or dealing with a title issue that has surfaced in a transaction, we provide practical counsel grounded in Wyoming property law.
Our real property work includes purchase and sale transactions, title review, boundary and easement disputes, adverse possession claims, landlord-tenant matters, and zoning compliance. We work closely with title companies, surveyors, and real estate professionals across the state to make transactions close cleanly and disputes resolve efficiently.
