About Kenneth

Kenneth DeCock is an accomplished trial attorney. Kenneth has tried many cases and an excellent record before the Office of Administrative Hearings, Medical Commission and the Wyoming Supreme Court. Kenneth has worked as a Workers’ Compensation lawyer for over ten years.

As an attorney, Kenneth’s primary focus has been Workers’ Compensation and criminal law. He was a deputy prosecuting attorney in Gillette, Campbell County, Wyoming before opening Plains Law Offices, LLP with his wife, Erin Mercer, in 2004. Kenneth and Erin ran Plains Law Offices, LLP together until 2011, when Kenneth was elected as county and prosecuting attorney for Johnson County, Wyoming. In 2015, Kenneth went back into private practice focusing on workers' compensation law.

Workers’ compensation benefits are meant to provide health care and financial assistance to injured workers. While most cases proceed without incident, occasionally injured workers are denied medical treatment or financial benefits. If you have you been denied Workers’ Compensation benefits, you must request a hearing immediately, or you could lose your right to continued benefits!   

Once you have requested a hearing, contact an aggressive, proactive attorney with years of experience working with the Wyoming Workers’ Compensation system. Contact Kenneth DeCock of Plains Law Offices, LLP!

Kenneth DeCock represents clients throughout the State of Wyoming. Whether you continue to live in-state or have moved out-of-state, Kenneth DeCock has the knowledge and experience to help you obtain the benefits you are entitled to.

Notable Work

Cases

Montoya v. Wy. Workers' Compensation

Injured worker had a non-work related auto accident several years prior to his work injury that resulted in him suffering from migraines. He slipped and fell at work striking his head and soon suffered additional and increased headaches and memory loss. It was ultimately determined that the worker suffered from a traumatic brain injury. The Division denied benefits claiming his condition was preexisting. The Supreme Court reversed this decision stating there was overwhelming evidence that the worker's fall aggravated his preexisting condition.

Straube v. Wy. Workers' Compensation

Employee suffer an injury to his knee which substantially worsened over time. Division denied benefits claiming intervening circumstances. Supreme Court reversed and granted benefits.
