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.

What Our Clients Are Saying About Marty

Marty and her paralegal Tiffani Vandermark did a wonderful job of helping me get through all of the legal procedures when my mother passed away. I would hire them again as they are caring and friendly and easy to work with.

Jock W.

“Marty Oblasser and her crew did an extraordinary job for me and my Uncle. My Uncle’s request was that he never wanted any of his relatives to have guardianship over him. Marty was able to find a little known law to help my Uncle and resolved the problem. She kept us informed of everything that was going on, what might and can happen and all of the options we had. Marty took the time to make my ‘Uncle and me’ feel as important, as this case was to us. She is a very caring and good person, I’m glad that I was able to find her.”

Elaine H.

“Trusting and Knowledgeable: I went to Marty to develop my estate plan. I wanted some complex things done within a trust and she got the job done. She handled the case very professionally and is extremely knowledgeable. What I really like most is that she will listen to your goals and what you want to accomplish. I think this is very important as everyone is different. I’ve worked with other attorney’s that think it’s a one size fits all approach and she listens and gets it done to accomplish YOUR goals!”

Laura R.

“Refreshingly Candid and Personable: Our estate matters are rather complex, so I was skeptical initially. However, Marty was able to explain various options available in light of our situation candidly, putting both my wife and I at ease. We really enjoyed the team approach she took in incorporating our CPA, who we have worked with for decades. We would definitely recommend her as a first stop!”

George

“Last year I interviewed lawyers to set up a Revocable Living Trust for me. My last interview was with Marty L. Oblasser and she has done an outstanding job for me. I have to rate her as excellent in all attributes I was looking for. My Trust Officer at my bank said it was the most well done and impressive Trust presentation he has seen. I would highly recommend Marty for her type of legal work.”

James D.

“Passionate about her work: Marty Oblasser prepared an estate plan for me and my husband two years ago. She is very knowledgeable and extremely competent in the estate planning arena. I feel that the estate plan that she prepared for us was truly designed with our personal situation in mind. She made suggestions that we would have never thought of including in our plan. I would highly recommend Ms. Oblasser to anyone who is looking for someone who is not only very knowledgeable and competent, but also passionate about the work she does.”

Shirley W.

“Gave me valid information along with important advice. Very honest and direct and reasonable with her answers. She was professional and knowledgeable which allowed me to believe in her and with all that said, all her qualities summed up, I would not only trust her but definitely recommend her.”

Randy

“I hadn’t had my will updated in over 10 yrs. I have little understanding of estate planning. She helped me develop an understanding of this process and I was able to make more informed decisions regarding my trust and advanced directives, etc. I highly recommend Marty Oblasser for estate planning. I trust her with helping me make the best decisions for the future care of my daughter.”

Sherrill

“Marty is the attorney for my business and I could not be more satisfied with her services. She is detailed oriented and works well with our CPA and financial advisor to ensure that everything stays on track. I am excited to work with Marty for many years to come and I highly recommend her to anyone needing legal services.”

Molly

“Marty was very patient in answering my questions regarding my small business. She was able to provide detailed information in a clear and concise manner. I am very impressed with her, and I would recommend her to anyone who is serious about starting a small business in Wyoming.”

John D.

“We can’t thank Marty enough for all that she has done for our family. Would highly recommend her! Once my siblings and father met her, they all started their own estate planning. She is so likable, so funny and has an amazing ability to explain things in a way that makes total sense and takes all of the awkwardness of the “what ifs” go away! She travels to meet with you, communicates well and often through email and is simply just amazing. We all have been so thankful for her help!”

Kristy O.

“Wife and I required the creation of a family trust; we “did our homework” in looking for solid legal help here in Laramie. Both Corthell and King, and Marty Oblasser in particular, filled-the-bill. Marty has a high “human-being quotient!” We were totally pleased with the genuinely friendly and competent work she did for us.”

Patrick H.

“The old saying “Knowledge is Power” is very true!: Marty Oblasser was recommended to me by a trust department in Colorado that I had connections with. I was in need of an attorney that was licensed in Wyoming and Mary was efficient, informative and sensitive to my situation in regards to an Estate I was involved in. She not only was informative, but was ready and willing to act on my behalf if necessary while at the same time encouraged me on how to resolve issues without taking legal action. If ever I am in need of Wyoming counsel, she will be the first person I contact.”

Kathryn D.

“Marty Oblasser was a great lawyer in helping me settle out an estate I was part of. She always kept me informed and got the process completed quickly. Even while I was working in Iraq she was able to always answer my calls and explain things in terms I understood. The cost for her services was extremely fair and I would highly recommend her.”

Andrew K.

“About 6 years ago, Marty Oblasser set up a family trust for my husband and me; it was not simple and straightforward, but she made the process painless for us. I lost my husband a month ago, and Marty has been very helpful in guiding me through the process of dealing with the things that need to be changed. Marty is very knowledgeable and helpful, and I’ve recommended her to several friends for their estate planning.”

Marjie M.

“When I look for an attorney, I look for a professional who is knowledgeable, thorough, passionate and acts with my best interest at heart. The attorney should consider all options and present relevant recommendations that are personalized to me and my family. I have experienced all of this and more when working with Marty Oblasser and the Corthell and King team. You can rest assured that you are given the best legal advice for your situation and that you will be treated with the utmost respect and professionalism. Thank you to the team at Corthell and King, and to prospective future clients – give them a call today!”

John K.

“Marty stepped in to settle our claim against an insurance company after our former attorney left the firm. She was very professional and quickly resolved our case, working hard to get as much compensation for us as possible. We appreciate her thoroughness, expertise, and kindness in answering our many questions and concerns.”
