Ethan hails from Carrollton, Georgia and has lived in Jackson, Wyoming since October 2019. While he specializes in DUI defense, his practice encompasses a broad range of criminal matters, including drug possession, assault, battery, theft, property destruction, trespass, and public intoxication. He represents more individuals in criminal cases within Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park than any other attorney in the country. He also currently serves as the President of the Teton County Bar Association.
Ethan's journey to the legal profession began at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, where he earned dual Bachelor's degrees in Political Science and Biology, along with a Minor in Chemistry. This diverse academic foundation reflects his analytical approach to legal practice.
Following graduation, Ethan gained valuable real-world experience working across multiple states—from Cooper Landing, Alaska to Washington, D.C., and Atlanta, Georgia—before pursuing his legal education at the University of Georgia School of Law. During law school, he distinguished himself as a member of the editorial board for the Georgia Journal of International & Comparative Law and gained practical experience through externships with the DeKalb County Public Defender's Office and the House Judiciary Committee of the Georgia General Assembly.
As an associate attorney in Georgia, Ethan played a key role in high-stakes litigation, including a successful class action lawsuit against an insurance company and real estate developer for violations of Georgia's RICO Act. He also secured victory in a complex estate dispute involving executor fraud and self-dealing that threatened beneficiaries' ownership interests in one of Georgia's most valuable office parks.
Since joining Freeburg Law in October 2019, Ethan has dedicated his practice to criminal defense in Wyoming. He brings a unique combination of Southern hospitality and tenacious advocacy to guide clients through challenging legal situations. His track record includes numerous case dismissals and consistently favorable outcomes for clients.
Ethan's commitment to the legal profession extends beyond his practice. He currently serves as President of the Teton County Bar Association, having previously held the position of Treasurer. His dedication to access to justice is evident through his board service with the Teton County Access to Justice Center, which provides free legal services to low-income individuals.
As one of only two defense attorneys in the Teton County Court Supervised Treatment program, Ethan helps break the cycle of substance abuse and criminal justice involvement through innovative treatment alternatives. He also volunteers as a tutor with the Teton Literacy Center, demonstrating his commitment to education and community development.
When not in the courtroom, Ethan embraces Wyoming's outdoor lifestyle, exploring the wilderness on foot, by raft, or on skis throughout the changing seasons. His entrepreneurial spirit shines through his ownership and operation of Squeeze Juice Co., a local juice company that serves the Jackson community.
An avid traveler, Ethan brings a global perspective to his local practice, enriching his ability to connect with clients from diverse backgrounds.
