Take your documents that you need to file for your case
Sell pro se packets to you
Tell you how to file a form (NOT how to fill it out)
Sell you copies of papers from your case

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 Wyoming Legal Services, 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 deal. Be sure to shop around.
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.

E-mail.

Using this website or sending an e-mail to Wyoming LawHelp does not mean that Wyoming LawHelp is your lawyer.
It is important to understand that if you email WLWP and put facts about your case in the email that WLWP will keep your information confidential. It is also important to understand that what you put in your email may not be confidential if you go to litigation on your legal problem. This means that the information you provide could be used against you in court. This is not a good thing! Think twice about what you write in an email! If you have any concerns at all, call our offices or talk to a lawyer!
For all these reasons, you may wish to use the telephone or talk in person when looking for a lawyer.

Deadlines

If you are handling your own case or do not yet have a lawyer, it is very important that you not miss deadlines! You may lose your legal rights if you do not take action right away.
This means getting a lawyer right away if that is what you want.
If you don't have a lawyer call the clerk of court to find out what deadlines apply to you.
