Working with Pence and MacMillan has not only allowed me to continue my mission, but has also surrounded me with fellow attorneys and staff who dedicate themselves to the same values I hold to the upmost importance.”

Thanks for journeying with us as we stopped to pay attention to the “little things” that are in fact the “big things.”  #penceandmacmillan

Last week, we finished up by listening to a podcast, doing something musically, making an October to-do list, and literally smelling a rose #penceandmacmillan

‘Let The Obstacles In Law School Teach You Something, Don’t Look At Them As Hardships, Look At Them As Lessons That Will Shape You Into A Better Lawyer.’ #penceandmacmillan

How lucky are we to live in a place where a “typical” Tuesday round-table lunch was with three Wyoming Governors and the Dean of the Law School?! Thank you Governors Sullivan, Freudenthal and Mead for your collective 24 years of service to our state and your example of continued unified leadership. 

Week 4 Was a Giving Week of Challenges! 🤗 #penceandmacmillan

Give to the Community (by shopping local). Give gratitude to a colleague. Give to an elder. Give to a child. Give to an animal. Give to yourself. 

Week 3 of Challenges! And the snow is too dang close 🥶 🌹 #penceandmacmillan 

Reflections on 9/11, 20 years later. Identifying one thing that if you do on a Monday, it   makes your week better. Drinking the number of ounces that is twice your age in water. Swimming. Doing something spiritual or religious.

Week 2! Life is Precious. #penceandmacmillan 

Identifying something that rewards you for your Labor! Enjoying and sharing something sweet. Cleaning out a junk drawer. Taking 5 minutes of silence to be present. Especially with a co-worker. 

Before they freeze, we are challenging ourselves all month long to Stop & Smell them Roses! Life is precious. #penceandmacmillan 

Last week- Go for a walk! Show your Patriotism! Drink or eat something new! Do something sporty!

We couldn’t be more proud!! Congratulations Devon O’Connell and thank you for your service!  #penceandmacmillan

Bash @ Bunkhouse!

Not what we planned to post today in this series…. 😢 #penceandmacmillan

One year ago, the world was shutting down. It was/is truly unbelievable. One year later, the world is starting to open up and feel more normal, day by day. Spring break vacations are happening. Kids are returning to school full-time. Mandates are easing. Vaccines are here!  

This week we are reflecting on “One year of LEGAL LIFE during COVID”…… Read Devon O’Connell’s reflection here.

Today, we #ChooseToChallenge! “A challenged world is an alert world and from challenge comes change. So let’s all choose to challenge.”

Pence and MacMillan supports women’s achievements and gender equality. We celebrate this team of amazing women on #internationalwomensday2021!!! 

Special thanks to Olivia for spear heading this very cool day and week! 

It’s a beautiful day to introduce another beautiful face at the office! Olivia Dorrell joins our team this week, primarily in our Cheyenne office, as Litigation Support!

Hey everyone! Meet Gabriel Maldonado! Another new face at Pence and MacMillan! Gabe joins our team as Litigation Support. Gabe graduated in December, 2020 with his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Wyoming, majoring in Criminal Justice. While we’d like to take the credit for expanding Gabe’s interest in the legal system, it’s more accurate to give those kudos to his mother-attorney-and Judge, Dona Playton! Welcome Gabe!

Today, we are excited to introduce Jackson Marcotte! Jackson joins our office as an Intern and Client Services Associate. Jackson will be graduating in May from the University of Wyoming with his degree in Political Science.

Well, our 75th birthday celebration has come to an end. Thanks to everyone who has virtually attended the party! 

As we wrap up, no better people to close the bash than the Gregs, who are the Pillars of this firm and part of both the Then & Now. They started in Laramie together, and have since expanded the firm to Sheridan and Cheyenne, where we have robust offices and presence in the state.

Read more here.

Then and Now, Pence and MacMillan has taken pride in nurturing new lawyers. We sure do miss you, Riley, and wish you much success at ND! Go Irish!

Then & Now, the attorneys at Pence and MacMillan have always believed our first priority is providing exceptional legal services to our clients. Attorney Crystal Stewart is sure living up to our tradition and mission. Read a client’s perspective on Stewart here.

Crystal is accepting new clients and is primarily located in our Cheyenne office. 

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Goodbye 2020! Hello 2021! 

As we conclude our 75th anniversary celebration this month, we’re also looking back and looking forward. Please join us for our final series – “Then and Now.” No one better to kick off the reflections than Hoke MacMillan himself.  Thank you, Hoke, for the legacy you created. Visit here to read MacMillan’s reflection.

Pence and MacMillan is thankful to be involved in our communities. We are also grateful for the efforts of so many clients and partners for making the places where we live and work the best they can be. Thank you to Brad Enzi and the Laramie Chamber Business Alliance for recognizing that what we do matters—view a message from him here.

For 75 years our firm has provided free and reduced legal services to clients. Why? Because it’s what you do. No one should be deprived of legal representation. View a heartfelt account of our client Ny Redding’s experience here.

Let’s think about something fun! What’s your favorite memory of Jubilee Days? Guy Warpness shares his appreciation for Dustin Richards and Pence and MacMillan’s volunteerism and commitment over the years to this event. Thanks Dusty, Guy and everyone who makes Jubilee Days happen! #75yearspenceandmacmillan

With gratitude this Veterans Day, we honor our attorney, Albert Walsh.  Al was a Captain in the United States Army, serving 1999-2012.  In 2016, he was awarded the Outstanding Pro Bono Award by the Wyoming State Bar for his volunteerism in the Veteran’s Service Center on the University of Wyoming’s campus.  Al is a shining star exemplifying Pence and MacMillan’s 75 years of providing free and reduced legal services.  Thank you Al and all Veterans for your service. See an additional photo here.
