About Us

  • Legal Aid of Wyoming Inc. is a federally funded, non-profit law firm. We provide legal assistance to low income individuals living in Wyoming.

    Legal Aid maintains four offices across Wyoming. The administrative office is located in Cheyenne and satellite offices are located in Casper, Lander and Rock Springs.

    Legal Aid provides representation in many, though not all, types of civil cases. We cannot represent defendants in criminal cases. If you have been charged with a crime, you should request that the court appoint an attorney to represent you if you cannot afford one.

    Priorities

    Unfortunately, Legal Aid is not able to assist everyone who financially qualifies. The Board of Directors determines the types of cases that Legal Aid accepts. Please see our FAQ page for more information on the types of cases we accept.
