Job Description
Bullies suck. And at Cowboy Country Law, we don't just fight cases-we fight for people's lives, freedom, and futures.
If you're the kind of legal assistant who gets fired up about being the glue that holds the legal team together-who thrives in high-stakes environments, runs on follow-through, and refuses to miss a deadline-keep reading. This isn't just another admin job. This is mission-critical support for attorneys going toe-to-toe with the government every single day.
We're looking for someone who can juggle a million moving parts, organize chaos into order, and bring a strong dose of poise and professionalism-even when things are on fire. (Which, let's be honest, they sometimes are.)
Compensation:
$17 - $23 hourly
Responsibilities:
This role is all about precision, speed, and hustle. You'll be right in the thick of the legal fight-managing documents, tracking deadlines, and keeping our attorneys and paralegals armed with what they need to win.
What You'll Be Doing:
Own the calendar. From court dates to team meetings, you'll keep everything on track and on time.
Draft, format, and proofread motions, briefs, and correspondence that look sharp and read even sharper.
Be the first point of contact for clients, courts, and co-counsel-responding with clarity, professionalism, and empathy.
Triage incoming legal documents and ensure they're filed, saved, and delivered to the right hands fast.
Run errands to the courthouse, post office, and wherever else the fight for justice takes us.
Track deadlines like a hawk and remind the team what's due when-before it's even on their radar.

Are obsessed with getting things right the first time, because accuracy saves lives.
Manage time like a pro and don't crumble under pressure.
Know your way around Google Calendar, Microsoft Office, and PDF tools.
Are comfortable navigating the Wyoming Rules of Criminal Procedure, or willing to learn fast.
Are eager to grow, hungry to learn, and fired up about doing meaningful work.
Can take initiative, communicate clearly, and follow through without being chased.
About Company
We don't do mediocrity. We don't fear courtrooms. And we sure as heck don't bow to bullies. We're a criminal defense firm built on three core values:

Legal Assistant
Legal assistant job in Casper, WY
Bullies suck. And at Cowboy Country Law, we don't just fight cases-we fight for people's lives, freedom, and futures.
If you're the kind of legal assistant who gets fired up about being the glue that holds the legal team together-who thrives in high-stakes environments, runs on follow-through, and refuses to miss a deadline-keep reading. This isn't just another admin job. This is mission-critical support for attorneys going toe-to-toe with the government every single day.
We're looking for someone who can juggle a million moving parts, organize chaos into order, and bring a strong dose of poise and professionalism-even when things are on fire. (Which, let's be honest, they sometimes are.)
This role is all about precision, speed, and hustle. You'll be right in the thick of the legal fight-managing documents, tracking deadlines, and keeping our attorneys and paralegals armed with what they need to win.
What You'll Be Doing:
Own the calendar. From court dates to team meetings, you'll keep everything on track and on time.
Draft, format, and proofread motions, briefs, and correspondence that look sharp and read even sharper.
Be the first point of contact for clients, courts, and co-counsel-responding with clarity, professionalism, and empathy.
Triage incoming legal documents and ensure they're filed, saved, and delivered to the right hands fast.
Run errands to the courthouse, post office, and wherever else the fight for justice takes us.
Track deadlines like a hawk and remind the team what's due when-before it's even on their radar.
You're not just organized-you're strategic. You see what needs to be done before anyone has to say it out loud.
You'll thrive in this role if you:
Have 2+ years of experience in a law firm or litigation support role.
Are obsessed with getting things right the first time, because accuracy saves lives.
Manage time like a pro and don't crumble under pressure.
Know your way around Google Calendar, Microsoft Office, and PDF tools.
Are comfortable navigating the Wyoming Rules of Criminal Procedure, or willing to learn fast.
Are eager to grow, hungry to learn, and fired up about doing meaningful work.
Can take initiative, communicate clearly, and follow through without being chased.
