    About Lincoln County

    What you should know about criminal defense in Kemmerer

    Kemmerer is the Lincoln County seat in southwestern Wyoming, known historically for its coal mining heritage and as the location of JC Penney’s first store. The county’s economy today is a mix of coal, natural gas, trona mining, and ranching. US-189 and US-30 run through Kemmerer and generate traffic enforcement activity in the area. Because Kemmerer is the county seat, all Lincoln County court proceedings — including those involving residents of Afton and Star Valley — are held here. The legal community is small and personal. Judges and prosecutors know each other and know the local defense bar. An attorney who appears here regularly, who is known to the court, has a meaningful advantage over one who is new to the jurisdiction.
