CASPER LAWYER HONORED WITH PRESIDENT’S AWARD

CHEYENNE – The Wyoming State Bar is pleased to announce that Weston W. Reeves, an attorney from Casper, is this year’s recipient of the Bar’s President’s Award. The award was presented September 12^th during the annual banquet held in conjunction with the Bar’s Annual Meeting & Judicial Conference. The award is reserved for a person or organization that has special meaning to the President of the Wyoming State Bar. This year’s President, Anna Reeves Olson, also of Casper, recognized her father, Reeves.

“Throughout my entire life, my father has been a constant source of unconditional love and patience. Although the importance of a good education was stressed in my home, I was never a strong student growing up. Instead, I was in remedial reading and math classes, but my father never seemed disappointed in me even though I was disappointed in myself. He simply encouraged me to keep going and to try as hard as I could, but if I did not get a good grade, not to be too hard on myself. When I graduated from law school, he gave me a job when no one else would hire me. Since that time, he has taught me everything I know about litigation and professionalism. He has also reminded me to always be myself and find my own way to practice law instead of trying to copy someone else. I can never repay him for the wonderful life and practice that he has given me, said Olson”

Weston W. Reeves was primarily raised in Riverton, Wyoming. He graduated from the University of Wyoming College of Law in 1969. In his practice, Reeves was one of the attorneys who represented the Black 14 and, later, he focused his practice in complex civil litigation.  He has tried hundreds of cases, written many briefs and argued many cases before the Wyoming Supreme Court. But, most importantly, he has been a loving husband, father, and grandfather.
