Candid Advice. Personalized Representation. Serious Advocacy.

A criminal charge or serious disciplinary allegation can change life quickly. You may be worried about your freedom, driver’s license, education, employment, family or reputation. At Devine Law, the goal is to help you understand what you are facing, what options are available and what steps make sense for your individual circumstances.



Attorney Linda Devine provides candid, personalized legal advice and experienced representation. Every case is different. Effective representation begins with listening to the client, reviewing the evidence and applicable law, identifying the issues that matter, and developing a strategy based on the facts rather than assumptions.

Criminal Defense in Laramie and Wyoming

Devine Law represents clients facing a range of criminal allegations, including DUI/DWUI, felony and misdemeanor charges, drug offenses, assault and battery, burglary, larceny, forgery and other criminal matters. An arrest is not a conviction. Before deciding how to respond to a charge, it is important to understand what the government must prove and what the evidence actually shows.

DUI and DWUI Defense

A Wyoming DUI or DWUI can involve both a criminal case and separate driver’s-license concerns. A careful review may include the reason for the traffic stop, officer observations, field sobriety testing, breath or blood testing, constitutional issues and administrative procedures. If you have been arrested for DUI, getting legal advice early can help you understand the different parts of the process.

Defense for University of Wyoming and College Students

For a college student, an allegation can create consequences in more than one system. A student may face a criminal investigation while also dealing with a university conduct proceeding, academic misconduct allegation or sexual-misconduct process. University proceedings are separate from criminal court and may operate under different procedures and standards. When matters overlap, decisions in one process can affect the other.

Juvenile Defense

Wyoming juvenile proceedings differ from adult criminal cases. Devine Law works with juveniles and their families to protect the young person’s rights, understand the court process and prepare for hearings and court requirements. Linda’s work in juvenile court has also been recognized by the Wyoming State Bar.

Student Rights and Education Law

Students facing suspension, expulsion, conduct allegations or other serious disciplinary action deserve to understand the process being used and the opportunity they have to respond. Devine Law’s education-law work focuses on due process and individual rights in educational disciplinary proceedings.

Mental Health Law and Civil Liberties

Devine Law is also committed to protecting the rights and civil liberties of individuals affected by mental illness. The practice includes mental-health-related legal proceedings within the firm’s current scope, including matters involving involuntary hospitalization and other significant liberty interests.

Linda Devine earned her law degree from the University of Wyoming. Her firm states that she is licensed to practice in Wyoming and the Federal District Court of Wyoming.
