The Wyoming Supreme Court issued a public censure to Cheyenne lawyer, Bruce S. Asay. Asay represented a client with respect to employment-related issues, including a claim for Unemployment Insurance Compensation (UIC) and a discrimination (retaliatory discharge) claim. Asay required a $4,000 payment from the client before filing the discrimination lawsuit, which was deposited into Asay’s lawyer trust account, an account designated for funds belonging to clients.

As a result, the Bar is now accepting expressions of interest from those who may be interested in serving in this capacity.
