Rules Governing Contingent Fees for Members of the Wyoming State Bar

Rule: 6

Jurisdiction: WY

Bluebook Citation: Wyo. Contingent Fee R. 6

In every proceeding under this rule for determination of reasonableness of a contingent fee, it shall be the obligation of all parties to make a full disclosure to, and file with, the committee originals or copies of all records, files, correspondence, or other documentary evidence relevant to the proceedings. (g) A state district court which has jurisdiction of the case which is the subject matter of the agreement shall review the final action and decision of the committee, upon the filing of a petition for review, which shall be filed within thirty (30) days following service of the committee’s written decision upon the parties. At the date set for hearing, the court shall review the record. If, before the date set for hearing, application is made to the court for leave to present additional evidence, and it is shown to the satisfaction of the court that the additional evidence is material, and there was good reason for failure to present it in the proceeding before the committee on resolution of fee disputes, the court may order that additional evidence be taken at the hearing. The court may receive written briefs and hear oral argument in its discretion. The briefing schedule shall be fixed by the court. The court may, in its discretion, remand the case to the committee for proceedings in accordance with the direction of the court. If the case is not remanded, the court shall enter judgment, affirming, modifying, or reversing the order of the committee. The court’s judgment shall be a final judgment appealable to the Wyoming Supreme Court. (Amended January 31, 1987, effective May 5, 1987.)
