A Forensic Lawyer-Scientist

Mr. Vang is a frequent lecturer on DUI and implied consent laws and is a member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL), a member of the Wyoming Trial Lawyers Association (WTLA), a sustaining member of the National College of DUI Defense (NCDD) and current Co-Chairperson of the NCDD Amici and Research Committee, and a founding member of the DUI Defense Lawyers Association (DUIDLA). Mr. Vang was awarded the Forensic Lawyer-Scientist Designation by the American Chemical Society (ACS) Chemistry and the Law Division on June 13, 2015. Mr. Vang has been admitted to practice law in all courts in the state of Wyoming, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the United States Supreme Court.

Because many DUI and criminal cases turn on scientific evidence such as breath tests, blood draws, and field sobriety testing, having a defense attorney Wyoming drivers and residents can turn to who understands both the law and the underlying science can be critical. Mr. Vang’s training in forensic principles allows him to evaluate laboratory protocols, challenge the reliability of testing methods used by law enforcement, and cross-examine government witnesses about potential errors or contamination. This scientific perspective is especially valuable in cases arising under Wyoming’s implied consent laws, where the consequences of refusing or submitting to testing can affect driver’s license status and the outcome of a criminal case in courts across the state.

Wyoming DUI Attorney

On July 14, 2022, Mr. Vang was awarded the National College of DUI Defense’s Trial Advocacy Award, which is awarded to the NCDD member who has most personified the mission of the National College through an aggressive, creative, and ethical trial practice that is dedicated to defending those accused of impaired driving. This individual has set themselves apart in their local community as a premier DUI defense trial attorney and has litigated a number of DUI-related cases to verdict. This individual is recognized, in his/her local legal community, as a tenacious yet ethical litigator.

When someone is searching for a criminal law attorney Wyoming motorists can consult after a DUI arrest, they often want to know what options they may have beyond simply pleading guilty. Depending on the facts, this may involve contesting the traffic stop, challenging roadside investigations, advocating for reduced charges, or seeking alternative sentencing options under Wyoming law. The firm guides clients through both the criminal case and the related driver’s license issues that can arise before the Office of Administrative Hearings, and helps them understand how a DUI accusation might affect employment, professional licensing, and travel.

Mr. Vang frequently presents lectures concerning DUI and implied consent laws for other attorneys, including: 

  • The Wyoming Trial Lawyers Association (WTLA)
  • The Wyoming State Bar Association (WSBA)
  • The National College for DUI Defense (NCDD)
  • The DUI Defense Lawyers Association (DUIDLA)
  • The Wyoming Governors Conference on Impaired Driving
  • The North Carolina Advocates for Justice (NCAJ)
  • The Institute of Continuing Legal Education in Georgia (ICLEG)
  • The National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL).

As a Wyoming defense lawyer who regularly teaches other attorneys, Mr. Vang draws on real courtroom experience from cases in counties such as Laramie, Natrona, and Campbell to illustrate how DUI prosecutions are actually handled. He uses examples from motions practice, trial strategy, and cross-examinations to show other lawyers how scientific evidence and constitutional principles intersect in impaired driving cases. Clients benefit from this teaching background because it reflects a constant engagement with evolving case law, changes in chemical testing technology, and best practices for defending people accused of DUI and related criminal offenses in Wyoming courts.
