Wyoming law is more restrictive than many states, and a generalist’s approach is insufficient. My expertise is tailored to the state’s specific statutes and the burden of proof required to establish a valid claim.
I’m intimately familiar with the operational standards and responsible server training programs expected of Wyoming’s establishments, from a downtown Cheyenne restaurant to a busy Jackson Hole resort bar. I can authoritatively assess whether an establishment’s policies and actions align with industry best practices for preventing illegal service.
My services are focused on the specific requirements for building a successful liability case under Wyoming’s restrictive statutes.
A confidential review to determine if the facts of your case meet the narrow criteria for liability under W.S. § 12-8-301.
Meticulous analysis of ID-checking procedures, server training records, video surveillance, witness statements, social media, and toxicology reports.
Professionally written reports focused on the key issues: the patron’s status (minor or visibly intoxicated) and the causal link between the service and the injury.
Clear, concise, and compelling testimony delivered with the composure and authority required for high-stakes litigation.
Strategic guidance on discovery and lines of questioning aimed at establishing the statutory exceptions for a successful claim.
My focus in Wyoming is on the specific and limited circumstances where a vendor can be held liable.
The most direct exception to Wyoming’s immunity law. My analysis focuses on the evidence of the illegal sale and its connection to the subsequent harm.
Requires proving not only that the person was served while visibly intoxicated, but also that this specific act of service was the proximate cause of the injury, a high standard to meet.
Assessing the unique challenges in high-traffic tourist destinations like Jackson and Teton Village, where staff training and diligence are paramount.

Yes. The statute was written to provide significant protection to vendors. A successful case requires a strong set of facts that clearly fit into one of the narrow exceptions for serving minors or visibly intoxicated people, and it must be proven that this service was the proximate cause of the injury.
It means the person’s intoxication was apparent through outward signs that a reasonable person would observe, such as significantly slurred speech, stumbling, lack of coordination, or other clear indicators of severe impairment.
