HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ATTORNEY

I highly recommend Francis McVay to anyone dealing with legal issues. From the very beginning, Francis went above and beyond to make sure I felt heard, informed, and confident about my situation. He took the time to truly listen to the details of my case, asked thoughtful questions, and took detai...led notes rather than rushing through the conversation. He was thorough in reviewing the circumstances and made sure I understood my options and what to expect moving forward. I never felt like I was just another case or number. What stood out most was his attention to detail and genuine willingness to help. He was professional, knowledgeable, straightforward, and easy to communicate with. Dealing with legal issues can be overwhelming, but Francis made the process feel much more manageable and gave me confidence that my case was being taken seriously. If you are looking for an attorney, Francis McVay is absolutely someone I would recommend speaking with. His professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication to his clients truly set him apart. I am extremely grateful for the time and attention he gave my case and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

Jasmine, I am DEEPLY grateful for your generosity in taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. It is with the deepest of respect that I thank you. It is a profound honor to represent any client as their counselor in the law, and that duty begins the second someone steps through our doors in Cheyenne carrying the weight of a legal crisis. When the chaos of an active legal battle—whether driven by the State, regulatory bodies like Wyoming Game and Fish, insurance companies, corporate entities in breach of contract disputes, or employers—creates a tidal wave that threatens to crush an individual or family, they deserve an advocate who treats their trust as a privilege. You deserve someone who actually sits down, takes detailed notes, asks the hard questions, and analyzes the full battlefield rather than rushing you through the door or treating you like a case number. Whether navigating complex Wyoming criminal defense, juvenile matters involving delinquency, abuse, and neglect, federal forums, high-stakes personal injury, workers' compensation, bankruptcy, tribal court proceedings, or appeals of last chance, standing in your corner as trusted counsel against institutional power is where real defense begins. Thank you for taking your time to give others caught in that same tide the confidence to step forward and seek real representation. It was a true honor to represent you. When you pass through deep waters, I will be with you—the only question left to answer is, how long will you swim alone?

Your decision to take the time and share your story means more than I can express. It is with the deepest respect that I thank you. Serving as a counselor in the law is a sacred trust. Carrying that responsibility when someone is trapped in the tidal wave of a prosecution is a profound honor. When institutional power threatens to drown a family in panic and confusion, a testimony like yours gives the next person the exact direction they need to find Deep Waters Law. I am grateful for your kindness in helping them find their footing. From our first meeting in Cheyenne, my sole focus was ensuring you knew you were not standing alone. Forcing an outright dismissal on a self-defense claim in complex criminal defense demands taking an unyielding stand, diving deep into the facts, and pushing back until the state breaks. In Wyoming circuit courts, roughly 92–95% of non-traffic criminal filings resolve via guilty pleas or plea agreements, and pre-trial dismissals account for fewer than 4% of total criminal cases filed statewide. Forcing the state to abandon its prosecution in the face of those odds is an exceptionally rare result. When we walked away leaving that courtroom empty in deafening silence—without having to step foot inside for trial—we delivered the DWL definitive statement: "Dismissals Win LOUDEST, my friend!" It was a true honor to fight for your freedom, deliver a complete win, and stand as your legal advocate. When you pass through deep waters, I will be with you. The only question left is: How long will you swim alone? — Francis H. McVay Deep Waters Law The law is not settled until it is just.

A Wolf Comes As A Wolf

Francis has been my number one supporter. He has gone out of his way to make sure I get through my day. He works hard for all his clients, he accepts the work and trusts that his clients will pay for his hard work. The man doesn’t lose. I have been in some hopeless situations, situations that I have ...been in before, so, I expected the same outcome, however, Francis McVay sought out and gained the most favorable outcome I could have imagined. The courts, the prosecutors and the legal community in general all respect him and trust his word, as do I. He has yet to lose on my behalf and I trust him even though I have trust issues. I’ve seen him go from working at a law firm, a well respected law firm, while he was working there his law firm jumped their minimum rate by double (imo from the success and hard work of Francis). And now Francis has his own law firm, he went out on his own and when you walk in you feel like his only client. He does work for those who have lots and those who have little. He represents the hard cases and wins the hard cases. He doesn’t avoid cases that have little chance of success and he gains success. I recommend him to all my friends and family and they see how hard he works for me and they have all hires him as well. Best attorney I’ve had by far! 5-Star Review

Thank you deeply for this review and for having the raw courage to share your journey. When life collapses into Mariana Trench depths—when chaotic struggles, medical emergencies, and the weight of overlapping court proceedings threaten to pull you under—most of the world steps back and taps out. At Deep Waters Law, L.L.C., that is precisely where we make our stand. We do not tap out, and we refuse to let our clients drown in the chaos. Hearing that you felt protected and held back from the brink means more to me than any courtroom filing ever could. Real legal advocacy is never confined to sitting behind a desk issuing advice from afar. It means showing up on the front lines when crisis erupts in real time—stepping directly between a client and immediate state pressure, solving practical daily survival and mobility hurdles so you can remain compliant, advocating directly with third-party testing providers, and fighting for your medical dignity in the hospital. It means doing whatever it takes, far above and beyond standard representation, to shield a human being in distress. Whether defending against severe criminal allegations, navigating DWUI / DUI charges, resolving high-stakes Circuit and Municipal Court cases, managing felony probation revocations, or fighting for members of our tribal community across Wyoming, our posture is absolute. While every case turns on its own distinct legal facts and no outcome can ever be guaranteed, our non-negotiable standard never shifts: we drag chaos into order, force the legal system to see the human soul behind the docket, and stand as an impenetrable shield when you are on the ledge. No matter how deep the abyssal waters get or how heavy the pressure becomes, you will never have to face them alone. Our door remains wide open to you, your family, and your friends whenever the storm rages. 'When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.' — Isaiah 43:2 Very truly yours, Francis H. McVay and the Deep Waters Law team

If you need help when in deep waters, call Francis.

When I was served a protection order in the morning, I was panicked, and called around for an attorney, and when I landed on Deep Waters Law, they did an immediate intake, and handled my matter. Francis got it dismissed!

William: Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. When a sudden emergency protection order or pseudo-criminal filing is weaponized to inflict panic and uproot a home here in Wyoming, it demands immediate tactical intervention, unyielding command of the courtroom, and an advocate who confronts bad-faith posturing head-on. At Deep Waters Law, our response across Cheyenne, state, and tribal courts is defined by the inevitable pressure of absolute trial readiness. Whether defeating malicious protection orders, defending complex criminal and civil rights matters, or litigating serious personal injury claims, we do not play defense against bad-faith actions—we drag them directly into the deep waters of real litigation, subjecting every allegation to immediate, exhaustive judicial scrutiny. Unsupported claims crumble under the light of the Court. Standing as an impenetrable shield for your family—whether shutting down emergency filings or securing long-term stability through formal custody, visitation, and support petitions—is our non-negotiable standard. Our door remains wide open whenever future legal challenges or family transitions arise, because the law is not settled until it is just. Whenever unexpected storms rise and you or your family find yourselves in deep waters, know that you will never have to walk through them alone. 'When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.' — Isaiah 43:2 Very truly yours, Francis H. McVay and the Deep Waters Law team

Fantastic work

I can’t thank Francis McVay enough for his kindness and generosity. He took the time to help me with a legal matter, and his guidance made a stressful situation so much easier to navigate. He is knowledgeable, professional, patient, and genuinely cared about helping me understand my options. It’s... rare to find someone who is not only an excellent attorney but also willing to give their time to help others. I truly appreciate everything they did for me and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney who is compassionate, trustworthy, and dedicated to his clients.
