Clay Simpson, Esq. — Founding Attorney at High Plains Justice

Clay Simpson

Founding Attorney

1. Clay founded High Plains Justice with a single commitment: to give people a fighting chance against a legal system designed to overwhelm them. Across local courtrooms and federal appeals benches throughout Wyoming, Clay has built a reputation for stepping into the gap when the state brings its vast resources to bear against private citizens. He pairs a classic, hard-scrabble work ethic with sharp, tactical litigation by taking the offensive early—interrogating the evidence, filing decisive pretrial motions, and dismantling the government's claims piece by piece. When prosecutors refuse to treat his clients fairly, he never hesitates to put the case in front of a jury and fight for a real path to justice.

2. Grounded in Wyoming roots and battle-tested in trial work, Clay Simpson established High Plains Justice to even the odds for individuals facing serious legal exposure. His entire career has been dedicated to shielding everyday people from government overreach across every tier of the court system, from rural circuit courts to federal appellate benches. Clay's practice relies on thorough preparation and uncompromising defense work—uncovering the details law enforcement missed, pushing back hard during preliminary proceedings, and refusing to settle for weak plea deals. By matching deep-seated persistence with sophisticated courtroom strategy, he forces the opposition to prove every inch of their case or face him at trial.

3. High Plains Justice was born out of Clay Simpson's drive to protect the rights and livelihoods of regular Wyomingites facing severe legal challenges. From county courthouses to federal appellate chambers, Clay has consistently served as a formidable barrier between the power of law enforcement and the individuals they target. His approach is straightforward: out-work and out-think the prosecution through exhaustive factual investigation, aggressive motion practice, and an unyielding presence in front of a jury. When your freedom is on the line and the state refuses to offer fair terms, Clay brings the experience, focus, and ironclad resolve required to protect your future.
