I handle misdemeanor DUI and possession cases involving marijuana. You may qualify as a first offender under these charges; therefore, representation by an attorney could be very helpful.

Professional & Supportive

I hired Rennie as my lawyer for my divorce. While she would have moved forward with any results I desired, she gave smart advice to pursue the best results possible. She is familiar with the Wyoming legal systems and did research about other cases happening in the state. Highly recommended.
