Joshua W. Case
PARTNER ATTORNEY
I graduated from the University of Colorado in Boulder with a degree in Political Science. While completing my undergraduate degree, I worked as a legal assistant at a small law firm in Boulder. After graduating from the University of Colorado, I went on to graduate from the University of Wyoming College of Law. While in law school, I was driven to get exposure to practice areas involving litigation. I was active in the Defender Aid Clinic, Wyoming Trial Lawyers’ Association, Delta Theta Phi law fraternity, and served as the treasurer for the Sports and Entertainment law club.
I practice family law, criminal defense, and estate planning. I take great pride in getting to know my clients, their struggles and objectives, and the details of their case. I am a compassionate attorney who truly cares about the people I represent.
I am attentive to my client’s needs and prioritize staying in contact with my clients so they are well-informed about their case. I am driven to get the best results for my clients because I am genuinely passionate about helping people.

OF COUNSEL
Madeleine J. Lewis
I bring diverse expertise related to energy law, property law, and estate planning. In my primary role as a law and policy research scientist and lecturer at the University of Wyoming School of Energy Resources, I focus deeply on emerging issues in energy law and policy, including carbon capture and sequestration, critical minerals, nuclear energy, and environmental justice. I hold a bachelor’s degree in anthropology and sociology from Carleton College, a master’s degree in Environment and Natural Resources from the University of Wyoming, and a juris doctor degree from the University of Wyoming. After graduating law school, I clerked for U.S. District Court Judge Nancy D. Freudenthal for the District of Wyoming and worked as an associate attorney for the law firm of Crowley Fleck PLLP.
