About Charles
Charles Pelkey educated as an attorney on the University of Wyoming College of Law, earning his J.D. in 2006. He did now not come to the regulation straight from faculty. Before law, he spent years in journalism and public affairs. The mix of reporting, modifying and political work shaped how he approaches legal problems: methodical, attuned to public record and used to tight deadlines.
His early career started on the reproduction desk and the streets. He worked as a beat reporter at the Casper Star-Tribune in 1988. He later served as press secretary to Senator Alan K. Simpson in 1993, a position that put him interior Capitol Hill communications. He moved into magazine work as senior editor at VeloNews in 1994 and edited UWyo Magazine in 2005. Those positions required clean writing and organizing complicated narratives for diverse audiences.
He completed law school in 2006 and soon turned journalistic instincts towards legal practice. In 2010 he used to be at the staff of Corthell and King, P.C., gaining courtroom and client-side knowledge. Two years later he helped launch Neubauer, Pelkey and Goldfinger, LLP as a founding partner. The company name later seems as Neubauer, Pelkey, Merseal, and Goldfinger, LLP, where he continues his practice.
Pelkey’s profession runs alongside two parallel tracks: law and public service. He was elected to the Wyoming State Legislature in 2014 and advocates for District forty five. He has served in that position through the present, balancing duties at the legislature with duties at his company. His background in reporting and message strategy informs his legislative fashion. He brings attention to detail to bill text and to constituent communications.
Colleagues and clients describe him as practical in approach and continuous under strain. He attracts on years of editorial work when drafting briefs and on legislative knowledge when advising on public coverage questions. His legal practice sits alongside a lively role in state authorities, and each parts of his profession influence the other.
He practices regulation at Neubauer, Pelkey, Merseal, and Goldfinger, LLP, and divides his time between firm work and his duties within the Wyoming Legislature. He presently focuses his practice on matters arising under Wyoming regulation.
