I absolutely 100 percent recommend Freeburg law and my personal lawyer Ethan Morris. Being from another state once they were on the case they did everything to make me feel the ease of the burden of the charge I received. I don’t know how I would have handled it without their help from 500 miles away. The sentencing I received was minimal and I was happy with the entire process. Ethan made me feel as if I just made a small mistake on my part and he would handle everything for me within his power. They were well worth every dollar. Strongly recommend as a DUI attorney.
I hired this firm due to the positive reviews. Ethan did not let me down. He fought for me and my case was dismissed. The team at Freeburg Law will LISTEN to you. They will believe you and do the very best for you. Someone will answer the phone even on a Sunday morning. They will reply to every email, and answer every question no matter what. They will have your back.
I've worked on many civil and criminal cases with Freeburg Law over the years, some going to trial, many settling out of court. They do an outstanding job for their clients. They put in the time and resources needed to present the best possible case. Most importantly, they care. Easy to work with, top-notch trial lawyers. I'd highly recommend them for any civil or criminal case.
Alex Freeburg is an excellent attorney and Teton County is lucky to have him. Throughout the duration of my case, he maintained exceptional communication with me, providing every detail and explaining every juncture as they arose. Alex is a dogged advocate but has a big heart as well. I would recommend him to anyone.

In the state of Wyoming, the main consideration in all custody decisions is the best interest of the child, not what each parent deserves. During the court process, both parents will attempt to prove why he or she should have custody of their shared child, and this process can unearth other issues as well.
For example, you might have one parent who is perfectly wonderful and emotionally available, but who travels consistently for work. This parent may not be equipped to provide stability for a child and will likely not be awarded custody.
The other parent who maybe can’t afford to give their child the latest toys or gadgets, but who takes them to baseball practice every week and makes their lunches every morning, might be awarded custody. A good child custody lawyer will set realistic expectations before you get to the courtroom.
Courts consider various factors such as parental fitness, the child’s relationship with each parent, the distance between the parents’ homes, and any history of domestic violence or abuse.
There is a rebuttable presumption that married couples have equal rights to custody of their children. In Wyoming, there is no prejudice or bias in favor of mothers over fathers, and the court does not award custody to one parent solely based on their gender.
Child custody can change your child's life. Where they sleep. Who they call when they’re scared. These cases can bring out the best and worst in people. We’ve seen parents who put in the work to change, and others who say all the right things but keep letting their kids down.
We handle emergencies, long fights, and everything in between. We know how to get the right evidence in front of a judge, and we’re honest about what Wyoming law will and won’t do. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to show up for your child, and we’ll show up for you.
There are two major forms of child custody: legal and physical.
Legal custody refers to each parent’s right to make routine, day-to-day decisions regarding their child’s welfare. This includes areas like academics, medical and dental care, sports, etc.
Physical custody refers to the amount of parenting time each parent has and where the child primarily lives. We'll cover both of these in a case strategy meeting. We'll give you honest feedback as to where you stand and how we can build your case. Contact us today for a case strategy call.
If the parents can’t agree on a custody arrangement, it’s unlikely a judge will award them joint or shared custody. That kind of setup requires cooperation, and if the two sides can’t get there on their own or with help from their attorneys, the court won’t force it.
Mediation is often a good path forward. It’s voluntary, confidential, and can be quicker and less expensive than going to trial. Each parent sits in a separate room with their attorney while a trained mediator moves between them to explore settlement options.
If a resolution is reached, a formal agreement can usually be signed that day and submitted to the court for approval. If not, then the matter will be brought before a judge. Whatever the situation, Freeburg Law will always speak up for your rights.
