Williams, Porter, Day & Neville P.C.

We are a Wyoming Law Firm.

Williams, Porter, Day & Neville, P.C. (“WPDN”), offers its clients a vast knowledge and understanding of the ways of the Wyoming people, businesses, government and economy. WPDN has the experience, professionalism and excellence in all areas of Wyoming law and culture to assist our clients. All 15 lawyers in the Firm graduated from the University of Wyoming School of Law. Most are native to or grew up in the State of Wyoming with backgrounds in energy, ranching, construction, environmental and governmental affairs. Firm members have appeared before judges and juries in every State and Federal District Court in the State of Wyoming and have appeared numerous times before the Wyoming Supreme Court, Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court, as well as numerous County and State administrative bodies. We understand Wyoming, its ways, its people, its past and have faith in its future.

WPDN was founded upon the principles of pride in a job well done and maintaining the highest client satisfaction, which results not only in quality representation but also in a fair and reasonable cost for legal services. Pride, professionalism and high ethical standards are the cornerstone of our practice, as is the quality of our attorneys and employees. The Firm has prospered for more than 70 years because our clients depend upon our high standards and integrity.

WPDN evolved from Hagens and Murane, a firm which was established at the turn of the century and joined by William J. Wehrli in the 1920's. When C. D. Murane became the State District Judge in Casper, the firm became Hagens and Wehrli. Upon the death of G. R. Hagens, Mr. Wehrli practiced many years as W. J. Wehrli and Associates. In 1950, Houston G. Williams joined W. J. Wehrli and in 1966 became a partner in the firm of Wehrli and Williams. W. J. Wehrli retired in 1978 and in 1979, the firm was renamed Williams, Porter, Day & Neville with Houston G. Williams, George M. Porter, Richard E. Day, Frank D. Neville, Barry G. Williams and Richard L. Williams as partners. Since that time it has evolved into a professional corporation with shareholders, associates and legal assistants.

Currently with 15 attorneys, we focus on trial practice in all State and Federal Courts. This includes litigation of oil & gas and other related energy matters, insurance defense including professional malpractice (medical, legal, accounting, engineering, real estate, etc.) products liability and catastrophic personal injury cases throughout the State of Wyoming. We also have an extensive commercial transaction practice.

To provide the highest quality client service, the attorneys and employees of WPDN work as a team to ensure fairness, a productive working atmosphere and high quality representation at a reasonable price. Located in the center of the State, the Firm is able to maintain a statewide practice for all of its clients. Our attorneys have also received recognition beyond Wyoming's borders for their excellence. These honors include listings in Martindale-Hubbell Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers, Best's Directory of Recommended Insurance Attorneys, Best Lawyers in America, and Chambers USA (America's Leading Lawyers for Business). In addition to being active members in the Wyoming and Natrona County Bar Associations, our attorneys are active in several professional organizations including the International Society of Barristers, the American college of Trial Lawyers, the International Society of Defense Counsel, U.S. Law, The Claims & Litigation Management Alliance, and the Federation of Defense and Corporate Counsel.
