About Francis
Biography
When you are with Deep Waters Law, the law is not settled until it is just.
Deep Waters Law was not built to back down from institutional power—or back down from the bench. Founded by Wyoming attorney Francis H. McVay, the practice exists for one singular purpose: to hold powerful systems accountable and protect human lives when the weight of the system threatens to crush them. McVay does not yield when the pressure rises, whether that means standing his ground for hours against a court or holding the state strictly to its mistakes until a case is dismissed.
The justice system is a noble institution worthy of profound respect, but left uncalled on its brutality, the status quo crushes the innocent and the unloved. When you pass through deep waters, McVay will be with you, because the law is not settled until it is just. How long will you swim alone?
When you pass through deep waters, McVay will be with you because the law is not settled until it is just. Where you are facing criminal charges, bankruptcy, divorce, or the State is trying to take your children into their own custody, Deep Waters Law is prepared to advocate for you.

Francis is a fighter, go with him.
Francis stepped to fight for me when no else wanted to. When I say fight, I mean FIGHT. Took on my custody case as well as a business suite at the same time. He's the only lawyer I've ever worked with who put in real effort. If you are a dad fighting against the popular political flow that only hu...

Mr. McVay saved the day
Mr. McVay was very helpful and kept in good communication through the process with quick action with the other lawyer. He advocated for me and my daughter. He helped me feel hope when I thought I didn't have any left.
