Legal Aid of Wyoming

Last updated August 2026

Legal Aid of Wyoming is a nonprofit law firm that gives free civil legal help to low-income residents. Civil means noncriminal problems, like eviction and housing, family law, public benefits, and consumer issues. It does not handle criminal cases. To ask for help, call the statewide Helpline at 1-877-432-9955, Monday through Friday, 9am to 4pm, or apply online at lawyoming.org/apply-online.

The firm focuses on the problems that can upend a family's stability. That includes losing a home to eviction, family law matters, and disputes over public benefits you count on. Because a lawyer's help early can change how a case turns out, it is worth calling even if you are not sure your problem is the kind they take.

Eligibility is based on income, and the limits are set for low-income households. If money is tight, apply rather than assume you earn too much, since staff can tell you quickly whether you fit. Being close to the line is a reason to call, not a reason to skip it.

Housing cases move fast, so speed matters. Eviction and other housing cases run on tight court deadlines, and missing one can cost you the case. If you get an eviction notice or court papers, call the Helpline the same day if you can, so a lawyer has time to act.

The firm serves the whole state from four offices, in Cheyenne, Casper, Lander, and Gillette. You do not have to live in one of those cities to get help, because the Helpline and online application reach residents across Wyoming.

To apply, call 1-877-432-9955 during Helpline hours, or fill out the form at lawyoming.org/apply-online. Have the basic facts of your problem and any court papers ready, since that helps the staff point you to the right help faster.
