About Walker Law

Our History

The Walkers have been Wyoming natives for generations, and are proud to call the Equality State their home.  

In 1984, John Walker began practicing with the firm that would eventually become known as Hickey & Evans.  While there, he had the honor of working with distinguished legal minds, like John Rooney and Howard V. Scotland III.  During his over 40 years with Hickey & Evans, John routinely appeared in front of the Wyoming Supreme Court, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, and district courts throughout the state. His practice areas primarily included probate, local government law and a general trial practice.

In 2010, Robert Walker graduated from the University of Wyoming College of Law and continued in his father’s footsteps by joining Hickey & Evans as an associate.  Robert advanced to partner within the organization and was simultaneously appointed as managing partner of the firm.  Robert is grateful for his time at Hickey & Evans, where he was able to be mentored by his father, while serving clients throughout the state of Wyoming.  His practice areas primarily focused on personal injury, estate planning, probate, general civil litigation, business transactions, insurance defense, employment law, and appellate practice. Robert regularly appeared before state and federal courts throughout Wyoming, has successfully argued before the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals on multiple occasions, and has resolved numerous cases through the use of mediation and arbitration.

In 2023, John and Robert decided the best way they could serve their clients was to form Walker Law, a firm founded on the desire to provide every client prompt, pleasant, professional, and practical legal guidance.

With Walker Law’s substantial “big firm” experience and smaller “boutique” size, we are able to efficiently and effectively meet all your legal needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What information should I bring with me?

Before you can become a client, a few formalities have to be met. First, the firm will run a conflict check to make sure our representation would not conflict with any of our other clients’ interests. Once that clears, you will be required to sign an engagement letter that will set for the terms of the representation.

In order for us to complete these important tasks, you will need to provide us your name and contact information, as well as the names of any potentially adverse or other interested individuals/entities.

Please also begin compiling any documents, records, or communications you believe our attorneys should review. In particular, medical and financial records often take large amounts of time to gather – so the sooner you start, the better.

What types of cases does your firm handle?

The well-qualified attorneys of Walker Law are happy to assist with a broad range of client needs, whether they involve appeals, litigation, or transactional work. For a complete list, please visit our practice areas (click here).

How quickly will I hear back from one of your attorneys?

Our staff and attorneys are driven to respond within two business days to most requests.  While we may not have the answer to your question, we strive to keep our clients and potential clients updated so they are not left wondering on the status of their request.  For urgent requests, please call and schedule an appointment to discuss your issue.

Unfortunately, our response time with cold calls, emails, or messages may take a few more days. However, we will still strive to timely respond to any such inquiries.  If you have an emergency, deadline, or statute of limitation concern – please call and let us know, so we can promptly address your inquiry. 

Will you take my case?

Our firm routinely accepts new clients and we are happy to discuss your concerns or issues. However, that does not necessarily mean we can take on your case. First, we need to conduct an initial meeting to discuss the nature of the representation. If after that consultation, both the attorney and prospective client feel there is a good fit, then our office must do a “conflict check” to make sure the prospective representation would not conflict with any other current clients’ interests. Once it is confirmed we have no personal or ethical conflicts, our office will send you an engagement letter setting forth the terms of representation.

What is the statute of limitations for my claim?

Without knowing the specific facts and details of your case, we cannot answer this question.  If you have this concern, please immediately call and speak with an attorney.

That said, as a general rule, the following limitation periods apply in Wyoming:

  • Actions on a written contract or agreement (10 years);
  • Actions on a contract not in writing, either express or implied (8 years);
  • Actions to collect on a debt (5 years);
  • Actions for fraud, trespass, personal injury, or other harm not relating to a contract (4 years);
  • Actions against a licensed professional (2 years);
  • Actions for wrongful death (2 years);
  • Actions against a governmental entity (2 years); and
  • Actions for libel, slander, assault, or battery (1 year); and
  • Actions against a deceased individual (please immediately consult an attorney as you may have 3 months or less to bring your claim).

For further information, please reference W.S. 1-3-105, W.S. 1-3-107, W.S. 1-38-102, W.S. 1-29-113.

In which Wyoming Counties do your attorneys practice?

Our attorneys are licensed to appear in all of Wyoming and routinely appear in state and federal courts throughout the state.  With modern technologies, we are able to efficiently accommodate all Wyoming communities.
