Section 4-20 - Representation

(a) Any applicant, client, or individual provider has the right to represent themselves, to be represented by a lawyer admitted to practice in Wyoming, or, if the contestant is an applicant or client, by a representative authorized by Section 5(a)(iv).

  • (i) If an applicant or client chooses a representative who is not legally authorized to speak for that applicant or client, the applicant shall provide written notice of appointment of the spokesman to the Department.
  • (ii) A non-lawyer authorized to represent an applicant or client under this provision may advocate for the applicant or client in a representative capacity, draft pleadings or other documents. However, this provision does not authorize a person who is not a lawyer admitted to practice in Wyoming to provide legal advice or services, or represent any person before the courts of the State of Wyoming.

(b) A provider which is a corporation, professional corporation, limited liability company, partnership, governmental entity, or any other legal entity, may appear and be represented by a lawyer admitted to practice in Wyoming.

(c) The Department may request the Attorney General to assist in contested case hearings to the extent required by W.S. § 16-3-112(c).

(d) If the contestant is represented by an attorney, payment of attorney's fees and costs are the responsibility of the contestant.
