Whether you decide to retain my criminal defense services or not, you will leave my office understanding your case far better than when you arrived. If you retain me, I will immediately begin developing a strategy and tactics designed to maximize your chances of favorably resolving your case.
The American legal system is not set up to be fair--not to the common individual, at least. It is designed to be complex, difficult to understand, and impossible to navigate without a law degree and significant experience working in the system.
Having an attorney makes all the difference in the world, even if you're guilty. Most people think that if they committed the crime there is nothing an attorney can do. They're wrong.
If you are facing DUI charges in Utah, the first thing to remember is this: Do not plead guilty! Get answers to your questions about Utah charges you may be facing from the best criminal defense attorney in Utah. Branson West is the DUI lawyer you need to give you the best chance with the Utah justice system.
A DUI charge carries heavy consequences that can affect your ability to drive, your financial situation and even your job. While a qualified DUI lawyer is key in winning this legal battle, it is also important to avoid these common mistakes that many people make after a DUI arrest.
If you've been accused of shoplifting or retail theft you're not alone. According to the National Association for Shoplifting Prevention, retail theft is one of the most common offenses and 1 in 11 Americans have shoplifted before. If you're looking for a retail theft lawyer near you, Branson West is here to help.
If you are facing a domestic violence charge, hiring a competent domestic violence lawyer in Utah is key to understanding the confusing implications of this law. Domestic violence is not a charge in and of itself, rather it is a category that increases the consequences for criminal actions.

Branson West is a very honest hard working attorney that handled my case with the utmost respect. He was always very prompt when responding to any questions I had. If you happen to need a defense attorney in the Salt Lake City that will truly work for you, not make empty promises, and most certainly work for a fair price, his office would be my first call. He was just the advocate I needed for my situation. He did what he told me he would do for the original price he quoted for me. I believe in him and his ability 100%. He is now helping me finish everything up nearly three years after the case began. Thank you Mr. West! -Paul‐ Paul Bergman, Posted August 23rd 2021 on google

Received great guidance and advice to help our daughter. Very professional and knowledgeable that helped guide us through a difficult situation.‐ Bruce Westenskow, Posted July 10th 2020 on google
I loved working with Branson West! He is very professional, kind, understanding and patient. I was so scared and embarrassed to even have to get an attorney for fear of judgment because I was already so embarrassed I was even in that situation. But he didn't make me feel judged whatsoever, he took the time to listen to my concerns and walked me through the process so that I understood everything. I was an anxious mess throughout the whole experience but he would take the time to talk with me on the phone and make sure all my questions were answered and gave me peace of mind. Before I even retained Mr. West, he would answer all my questions I had about my upcoming case and was so kind about it. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome of my case! I was looking at some pretty severe consequences but he fought for me when I needed it most and I received better results than I even thought were possible! I would absolutely recommend Mr. West to anyone, he is not in it for the money like some attorneys are, he actually cares about you as a person and tries to get the best possible outcome for you, all while not having to break the bank.‐ Summer J., Posted March 3rd 2020 on google
I was recommended to Branson from a very good friend which also solved his case as well the day I called Branson we talked over the phone I explained my situation and he engaged and seemed very sensitive to my situation with my fiancé which nothing feels better then someone caring at that moment when you feel like your world is crashing my case is still in process but I would recommend Branson he made me feel reassured that he was going to do his best and give my family a good outcome !‐ Shaunae Gallegos, Posted February 23rd 2020 on google
Branson is a great Attorney! I recommend him if you have any kind of legal trouble.‐ Adam Johnson, Posted October 6th 2019 on google
He responded the same day and it wasn't hours later either. Very nice guy and super helpful to what I needed to know.‐ Nicole Reeves, Posted October 4th 2019 on google
