(Main Office) The present firm evolved from Hagens and Murane, a firm which was established at the turn of the century and joined by William J. Wehrli in the 1920's. When C.D. Murane became the State District Judge in Casper, the firm became Hagens and Wehrli. Upon the death of G.R. Hagens, Mr. Wehrli practiced many years as W.J. Wehrli and Associates. In 1950, Houston G. Williams joined W.J. Wehrli and in 1966 became a partner in the firm of Wehrli and Williams. Mr. Wehrli retired in 1978 and the firm was re-named Williams, Porter, Day and Neville, with Houston G. Williams, George M. Porter, Richard E. Day, Frank D. Neville, Barry G. Williams and Richard L. Williams as partners. The firm is engaged in the general practice of law throughout the state of Wyoming, with emphasis on trial practice in all state and federal courts.
