Wyoming & the High Plains

Find legal help in Wyoming

A free, independent directory of civil legal aid, pro bono programs, and self-help resources available to Wyoming residents — plus key national programs for veterans, survivors, and the wrongfully convicted.

Wyoming has no constitutional right to a free lawyer in civil cases — only in criminal cases. An estimated 30–60% of civil litigants in the state represent themselves, often because of cost, distance, or simply not knowing where to turn. This directory maps the organizations built to close that gap: who they serve, what they can (and can't) do, and how to reach them.

Whether you're searching for free legal aid in Wyoming, trying to find a lawyer who works on a sliding scale, looking for veterans benefits help, or trying to understand how to get a protection order, this page organizes every legitimate resource we could verify by category — with plain-language eligibility rules and the actual steps to apply, not just a link and a phone number.
