“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)
We are very lucky to have Paula aa our team member and part of our Sheridan office! Thank you Paula!! #penceandmacmillan

IN HONOR OF JUNETEENTH, Pence and MacMillan celebrates and recognizes emancipation and freedom for all! 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

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.”

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!

Gabe graduated in December, 2020 with his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Wyoming, majoring in Criminal Justice.

Today, we are excited to introduce Jackson Marcotte! Jackson joins our office as an Intern and Client Services Associate.

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!
Read Riley’s sentiments here.
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.

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.
