Steven Titus

Criminal Lawyer

Steven Titus grew up with parents who worked around the clock at their start-up bail bond business. They dedicated their time and careers to helping individuals charged with crimes. When released from jail, people usually first visit their bail bond person. Watching clients filter through his parents’ company, Steven heard many proclaim their innocence and saw the relief on their faces when they were free to go home. That experience created an innate desire in him to help those who had wrongfully been accused of a crime. An aggressive, organized “hustler” with an intense work ethic, Steven has expanded his practice to help clients who suffered personal injury through no fault of their own. Since the start of his young career, he’s worked hard for case results that are unmatched throughout Wyoming.

Alex Freeburg

Criminal Lawyer

My clients are good people. Whether they have been injured, or accused of a crime, I like who I represent. I am proud of what I am able to do for them. And I am proud of the results my team delivers. So for me, I like my work.

I’ve always had a strong sense of fairness. When I was a kid, I liked to argue. I read books like it was my job. I’m stubborn. Naturally, I became a lawyer.

When I graduated from the University of Washington law school, I wanted to try cases more than I wanted to make money. I became a prosecutor for a county in rural Washington. In 2 years, I tried 25 cases to a jury. While I loved the work I was doing on behalf of victims, I also realized that cops weren’t always right, that laws were not always fair, and that there was more to the law (and life) than prosecution. I moved to Wyoming and soon opened my practice.

What else? I’m 40 years old, married, and have two children at home. The best cases are interesting. Give me a case that takes a little bit of creativity and hard work. Something with a righteous angle. If you have something that fits the bill, please get in touch.

MARTY L. OBLASSER

Criminal Lawyer

A Wyoming native, Marty L. Oblasser attended the University of Wyoming to obtain both her undergraduate and juris doctor degrees.  Marty began her career as attorney in the Legacy Planning Department with a law firm in Casper, Wyoming.  During that time, Marty successfully argued Utley v. Lankford, 2013 WY 65, before the Wyoming Supreme Court.  In 2015, Marty became the managing partner with Wyoming’s oldest law firm, Corthell and King Law Office, P.C.  Over the years, Marty worked for the Wyoming Supreme Court as the Project Manager when implementing the Chancery Court and taught for the University of Wyoming’s College of Business.

When not in the office, Marty enjoys presenting seminars to the community about various estate planning and business law matters. She has been quoted in over 100 media outlets across the country, including CNBC, CBS, Anchorage Daily News, Minnesota Public Radio, and The Boston Globe.  Marty has also had the opportunity to write for WealthCounsel, a national network of transactional and estate law attorneys, CPAs and financial advisors, regarding Wyoming Limited Liability Companies (GreenHunter Energy, Inc.: The Rare Case When the Limited Liability Veil will be Pierced in Wyoming [and Probably in Every Other Jurisdiction]) and a multi-jurisdictional review of LLC case law decided in 2015 around the nation (Hindsight is 20/20: A Review of Selected 2015 LLC Cases).  Additionally, Marty was invited by the Wyoming State Bar, National Business Institute, WealthCounsel, the Trust and Estates Symposium, and the Southern California Institute Academy to present continuing legal education courses for her peers and advisors around the country.

Additionally, during the 2021 legislative session, Marty authored the changes to Wyoming’s Fraudulent Transfer Act.  Specifically, the amount of time wherein creditors may now bring a claim for relief concerning a fraudulent transfer to a trust, is substantially reduced.  This change to the law greatly increases the protection afforded to those seeking asset protection.

Marty, and her husband, Erik, reside in Laramie, Wyoming with their daughter and two dogs. They enjoy traveling, hunting, fishing, and generally all things outdoors.  She also enjoys participating in the Big Brothers, Big Sisters program, serving on community boards, and providing pro bono legal services to those who cannot afford an attorney through the Equal Justice Wyoming program.
