The area's economy has long run on mineral extraction — coal mining in the past, and natural gas and trona mining today — which brings a steady stream of workers' compensation and energy-related business matters to local firms alongside the usual family and injury cases.

Choosing a law firm in Rock Springs

Confirm the attorney holds active, good-standing membership in the Wyoming State Bar, and check its records for any public discipline before you sign on. Ask how much of the firm's work touches energy or workers' compensation matters like yours, and how often they appear in Sweetwater County's courts specifically. Get the fee arrangement — contingency, hourly or flat fee — in writing, and find out who at the firm will actually be working your case.
