Murane & Bostwick, LLC, with offices in Casper
and Cheyenne, is engaged in the practice of law throughout Wyoming.
We represent businesses and individuals as close as our next door
neighbors to multi-national corporations and insurers from Tokyo to
London.
The firm became a partnership in 1949 and a limited liability company
in 1997. Our beginnings, however, date back to 1926 when the late Edward
E. Murane opened his law office in Casper. Ed Murane was a leader in
numerous legal organizations, holding many state and national offices and
chairmanships over his nearly 50 years as a practicing attorney.
Richard R. Bostwick, who joined Ed Murane in 1949, retired from the
firm in 1992. Both Dick and Ed were tough minded advocates for the
firm's clients -- compromising and compassionate where appropriate,
demanding and tenacious when necessary. The philosophy of the firm's
founders remains its cornerstone.
Once an assignment is accepted, each problem or activity is analyzed
from the standpoint of the client, taking into account the nature of the
problem or assignment, the human and technical resources required to
accomplish the desired goal, the risks and rewards of a particular course
of action and the client's financial capacity to carry out any particular
activity.
We make use of legal assistants and investigators where their services
will be as effective as that of a lawyer, at substantially less cost to
the client. We do not assign a senior partner to a task which an
associate or junior member of the firm can handle as well. Where
more than a single lawyer is required, Murane & Bostwick has the personnel and resources to administer, supervise and complete any complex
assignment within the areas of our practice.
Our firm is engaged daily in litigation in state and federal courts in
Wyoming, where we enjoy a reputation for hard-nosed advocacy, pursued
without the all-too-prevalent vitriolic hostility toward opposing counsel
or parties, which we believe seldom serves the client's interests and
almost always results in increased costs.

hourly rates, we will consider blended, flat, contingent and other fee
arrangements.
