Deep Waters Law, L.L.C.

Deep Waters Law, L.L.C. is a Cheyenne, Wyoming law firm founded by attorney Francis H. McVay. The firm serves clients across Wyoming in bankruptcy, criminal defense, and family law. It provides free consultations and is committed to knowledgeable legal representation for individuals facing financial hardship, criminal charges, or family disputes.

The firm handles DWUI/DUI, felony and misdemeanor charges, drug possession, aggravated assault, theft, shoplifting, fraud, domestic battery, and probation violations. They also manage federal crimes, NGMI & Title 25 mental-health matters, juvenile delinquency, and appeals or post-conviction relief.

For personal injury, the firm helps clients recover medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. This includes handling workers' compensation claims, car and truck accidents, and slip and fall cases while navigating Wyoming's 50% fault rule and natural accumulation rule.

The firm provides divorce, custody, support, and dissolution services. They specifically focus on fathers' rights, paternity, visitation, modification, and enforcing custody orders through contempt hearings or orders to show cause.

Clients can call (307) 333-7539 or send a form online to request a free consultation. If a deadline is close, the firm advises calling the phone number directly rather than waiting on the form. The consultation covers the procedure, deadlines, and next steps for the legal matter.

The firm is reachable 24/7, including Saturday and Sunday, though the office hours are Mon–Fri 8:00 AM–5:00 PM. During office hours, the location is closed from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM.

Francis H. McVay was a former Deputy County and Prosecuting Attorney for Park County and Senior Assistant Appellate Counsel with the Wyoming State Public Defender. He argued Walker v. State, 2022 WY 158, which reversed two felony convictions under plain-error review.

The firm highlights securing seven pre-trial exonerations through the insanity defense, formerly NGMI, and juvenile mens rea challenges. They also cite the rule from Walker v. State that now governs jury instructions for multiple identical charges.

The firm's values are built on honesty, respect, and strong dedication to protecting every client's rights. Their mission is to provide clear, affordable, and effective legal services that protect rights and support clients fully.

Injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning no attorney's fee is charged unless the firm recovers money for the client. The firm explains how case costs are handled in writing before the client signs anything.

The firm mentions the 20-day license-hearing deadline for Wyoming DUI cases and the $1,000 felony line for theft and fraud. They also reference the natural accumulation rule for slip and fall cases and the lack of a maternal presumption in custody decisions.

The firm aims for fair, practical solutions that protect a client's future and financial well-being. They treat every client with honesty, dignity, confidentiality, and professional care at all times.

The firm states that when a legal crisis starts, it does not wait for the client to be ready. They emphasize that the question is how long the client intends to swim alone without support.

The firm takes its name from Isaiah 43:2, "When you pass through deep waters, I will be with you." This symbolizes their commitment to supporting clients during difficult legal challenges.
