Alec Baldwin

If encountering a situation with law enforcement, contact our criminal defense attorneys, Cole Sherard and Crystal Stewart, first. #penceandmacmillan

 

“To people unfamiliar with the American criminal justice system, Baldwin’s decision sounds reasonable: Something terrible happened, and he wanted to help,” @fmanjoo writes. “But defense lawyers I talked to said Baldwin’s case should serve as a reminder that if you are involved in a serious incident, it’s best not to talk to the police unless you have an attorney present.”  (Share from New York Times Opinion) 

Happy Eight-Years Paula

In the words of our own Amber Olivia Vandiver, “It’s a day of recognizing what happened to black people in the United States, and how progress is being made towards making sure history doesn’t repeat itself. It’s a way to let everyone know that their cries are finally being heard, their tears are felt, and their blood wasn’t shed in vain. There’s still more to be done, but we also take days like this as victories towards making sure that ‘….liberty and justice for all….’ holds true for everyone.” #penceandmacmillan

Then&Now: Schierer Reflections

It seems appropriate to credit the original owner of the infamous birthday breakfast plate, Paul Schierer, and add his reflections on the THEN and NOW of Pence and Mac:

“I arrived in Laramie WY in 1983 without any connection to the town or legal community. From my first interview, I knew Pence and MacMillan is where I belonged. For me, Pence and MacMillan has always been and will always be about relationships…” Finish reading Schierer’s reflection here.

Then&Now

Like the country today, Pence and Mac also conducted a traditional event. Everyone at Pence and Mac celebrates annual trips around the sun. Starting back THEN in we-can’t-really-remember-when…..through NOW…… everyone’s birthday is celebrated with a pot-luck birthday breakfast. The birthday guest of honor always uses this old Presidential plate—no exceptions. Today we said happy birthday to one of our newer employees and Business Services Administrator, Annika Belser, while we watched the Presidential Inauguration.

Then&Now: The Becky Klemt Letter

As history NOW continues to unfold in the making, we remember with smiles a historical THEN Pence and Mac event of August 8, 1988: “The Becky Klemt Letter.”

Then&Now: Cole Sherard North Platte River

Then or Now, for 75 years Pence and Mac has always fished. Any season, any reason, we’re doing it- law or lakes! Attorney Cole Sherard doesn’t just excel at criminal defense, he’s an expert fisherman too. Click here to see more and for a link to listen to him featured on public radio.

Then&Now: Judge Jeffrey Donnell Reflections on Pence and MacMillan

Our friends at the Wyoming State Bar helped us find this iconic issue of the Wyoming Lawyer where Hoke MacMillan became President of the WSB and in the column beside this, Judge Jeffrey Donnell took the bench in the Second Judicial District Court. We are so proud to have Judge Donnell as a member of our Pence and Mac team now that he has retired. See Judge Donnell’s reflections of Then and Now here.

Wyoming State Bar Law Day

For Law Day, the nation marks the 50th anniversary of perhaps the nation’s best-known U.S. Supreme Court case, Miranda v. Arizona. The 2016 Law Day theme — Miranda: More than Words — will explore the procedural protections afforded to all of us by the U.S. Constitution, how these rights are safeguarded by the courts, and why the preservation of these principles is essential to our liberty. Devon O’Connell prepared a public service announcement about the importance of this case and to encourage Wyoming citizens to commemorate our national ideals of liberty, justice and equality under the law.
