⚖️🌱 ROOTED IN ROCK SPRINGS: HAMPTON & NEWMAN, L.C.

Some of the most important local businesses are the ones you hope you’ll never need—but are grateful to have close to home when you do.

Our next Rooted in Rock Springs feature is The Law Offices of Hampton & Newman, L.C., a Rock Springs law firm with deep Wyoming roots and decades of experience representing people throughout our community and across the state. The firm is located at 118 3rd Street in Downtown Rock Springs. 

The firm focuses primarily on personal injury, workers’ compensation and criminal defense, handling matters ranging from motor vehicle, industrial, oilfield and mining accidents to wrongful death claims, workplace injuries and criminal cases. 

Today, the firm’s attorneys include Michael D. Newman and Joseph A. “Joe” Hampton, with David A. Hampton now retired. Michael Newman has practiced in Wyoming since 1988, while Joe Hampton joined the Wyoming bar in 2016 and focuses much of his practice on criminal defense. 

Their commitment to Downtown extends beyond the work they do inside their offices. Hampton & Newman was recognized with a 2026 Golden Broom Award for the care and preservation of their historic property. Their offices are located in the former home of Archibald Blair, widely recognized as Rock Springs’ first citizen, in a house constructed between 1897 and 1903. Hampton & Newman acquired the property in 2005 and carefully restored and renovated it for use as their law offices, preserving its historic character while giving the landmark a new purpose. 

That combination of professional service, community investment and pride of place is exactly what Rooted in Rock Springs is all about. Supporting local isn’t just about where we shop or eat. It’s also about the professionals we turn to for expertise and assistance—and the businesses that choose to invest in and care for the community they call home.

So when you need professional services, remember to think local first.
