The founding partners each started their private practice in Gillette, Wyoming, and had been members of other firms in Gillette. The firm's practice has grown with the business and industry in Campbell County, Wyoming. Campbell County is fortunate to have a large oil and gas industry, to include coal-bed methane gas, as well as the largest open pit coal mines in North America. Those industries create a healthy business environment with related and support businesses. Ranching also continues to be a significant business in Campbell County.

In 2006, the firm opened a branch office in nearby Sundance, Wyoming (58 miles east of Gillette, WY). Sundance, Wyoming is located on the edge of the Black Hills of Wyoming near the South Dakota border. The firm opened its office to service its clients in the Sundance area which were primarily related to ranching, estate planning, probate and real estate development. The picturesque and remote areas surrounding Sundance have created a great deal of interest for summer homes and large acre real estate development. Associate Douglas E. Stevens, who works in the Sundance office, lives in nearby Spearfish, South Dakota. He is a member of the South Dakota Bar and Wyoming Bar.
