About Us

Welcome! I’m Garrett Whitson, a dedicated advocate for the rights and management of natural resources, with a focus on real estate law, water law, agriculture law, and oil and gas law. My journey to becoming a licensed attorney in Sheridan, Wyoming, is rooted in my deep connection to the outdoors, cultivated in the rugged beauty of a small rural town where I grew up.

From a young age, my passion for the outdoors was undeniable. I spent countless hours immersed in the natural world, hunting, fishing, and enhancing the habitat for the wildlife in my vicinity. This early exposure to nature’s wonders laid the foundation for my career path and personal ethos.

I embarked on my academic journey at Washburn University, where I pursued a bachelor’s degree in philosophy. This period was crucial in shaping my analytical skills and fostering a profound appreciation for the ethical considerations that underpin our interaction with the natural environment and the law.

My aspirations to advocate for environmental integrity and property rights led me to a pivotal opportunity at the University of Arkansas in Little Rock, where I began my law education. My tenure there was marked by a growing realization that to make the most impact, I needed to align my legal education with my aspirations to serve the state of Wyoming – a place whose legal landscape resonates deeply with my areas of interest.

Thus, I made a strategic decision to attend the University of Wyoming College of Law for the final stretch of my legal studies. There, I delved deep into the complexities of real estate and natural resources law, focusing on critical areas such as water, agriculture, and oil and gas. This specialized education equipped me with the knowledge and expertise to navigate the intricacies of environmental stewardship and property law.

Upon passing the bar exam, I officially began my practice in Sheridan, Wyoming. Here, I am committed to using my skills and passion to advocate for responsible management and protection of natural resources. My work is more than a profession; it’s a lifelong commitment to ensuring that our natural habitats are preserved and utilized in a manner that benefits both our community and the environment.

In my practice, I strive to be not just an attorney but a steward of the land, leveraging my expertise to foster sustainable practices and equitable resolutions. My journey from a small-town outdoors enthusiast to a legal advocate in Wyoming embodies my dedication to making a meaningful difference in the world, one case at a time.
