The Wyoming Supreme Court has suspended Laramie attorney Vaughn H. Neubauer from practicing law for three years, effective May 29, according to an order issued on April 29.
The suspension follows Neubauer’s failure to fulfill his duty of diligence and comply with court rules and orders in a litigation matter, which led to a significant judgment against his clients. The court also ordered Neubauer to pay an administrative fee of $750 and costs of $50 to the Wyoming State Bar.
The Wyoming Bar Association oversees legal practice in the state, works to improve access to quality legal services for the public, and supports attorneys in their professional responsibilities according to its official website. The association advances public access to justice through pro bono programs and volunteer efforts by lawyers according to its official website.
In addition, the Wyoming Bar Association recognizes outstanding contributions by members of the legal field and community through awards programs according to its official website. It operates under an elected board representing each judicial district according to its official website, combining regulatory duties with member support as Wyoming’s integrated bar according to its official website.
Established as a voluntary association in 1915 and becoming integrated in 1939, the Wyoming State Bar continues today as a body that regulates legal practice while assisting attorneys with resources such as continuing education, lawyer referrals, and pro bono opportunities according to its official website. The association serves both the profession and residents across Wyoming.
