Just Criminal Law Highlights Record of Jury Acquittals and Dismissals in Wyoming’s High-Stakes Criminal Cases
Our Team
Her Gillette-based firm, Just Criminal Law, has secured not guilty verdicts for a client facing felony kidnapping and assault charges, for a client charged with first-degree sexual assault, and for a client charged with stalking, along with a Supreme Court win in Brown v. State of Wyoming, 2019 WY 42, 439 P.3d 726, Docket No. S-18-0112 (Wyo. April 18, 2019), that ended the case on a suppressed stop - results the firm says reflect a repeatable approach rather than isolated luck.
The firm says results like this come from a defense model built on Williams' years as a prosecutor: every case is evaluated the way the State would build it, before the defense is ever constructed.
Just Criminal Law cites this former-prosecutor perspective as the reason its team knows where the State's cases tend to break down. Having built cases for the prosecution, Williams knows what tactics the other side will use in court and can anticipate how a judge or jury may respond to a client's defense. The firm's wins follow a consistent pattern: holding the State to its burden of proof at every stage, challenging the foundation of breath tests in DUI cases, and filing suppression motions when stops and searches exceed what the law allows.
The firm's case results show that approach at work. In one first-degree sexual assault trial, a jury returned a not guilty verdict on all counts. In Brown v. State of Wyoming, Docket No. S-18-0112 (2019 WY 42), the Wyoming Supreme Court accepted the firm's appeal, reversed the district court, and granted the motion to suppress - ending the case. Juries have also acquitted the firm's clients of stalking, aggravated assault, felony theft, felony drug possession, and sexual battery, while numerous DUI, fraud, and domestic battery cases have been dismissed after the State could not meet its burden of proof or lay a foundation for its evidence.
Behind those outcomes is a team process. Criminal investigator Tony Seeman digs into the facts of every case, the attorneys identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and every matter is prepared as if it might go to trial - even though most resolve through negotiation. The firm meets with clients within days of the initial call, charges a transparent flat fee, and travels up to 120 miles from its Campbell County office to courts across Wyoming and into South Dakota.
