    About Sheridan County

    What you should know about criminal defense in Sheridan

    Sheridan County sits at the base of the Bighorn Mountains in northern Wyoming and is one of the state’s more prosperous and active communities. The local economy is driven by ranching, coal, tourism, and a growing retail and service sector. I-90 runs through Sheridan and generates significant traffic enforcement activity — DUI and drug stop cases are common. The county also has a sizable population of hunters and outdoorspeople, which means firearms and weapons charges are not uncommon. Sheridan’s courts are busier than most rural Wyoming counties, and having an attorney who regularly appears here — who knows the prosecutors and the court’s expectations — makes a meaningful difference in how your case is handled.
