In the state of Utah, debit card fraud is considered unlawful use of a financial transaction card and can carry various penalties. Similar to credit card fraud, examples of debit card fraud include giving false information on a card application, stealing someone else's debit card information, and using a false card to obtain goods or services. Each conviction carries different penalties, from misdemeanors to felonies. Typically, debit card fraud is a crime of desperation and often even committed unknowingly. At Branson West Law, we don't believe that one simple mistake should lead to a lifetime of consequences. As your leading criminal defense attorney in Utah, we can help fight your case and clear your record. Debit card fraud is a common conviction and we have won many similar cases for our clients. Don't let prosecutors use fear to push you into pleading guilty - these types of cases are easy for the Branson West Law team.

One of the Great ones! I called and he was more helpful in 15 minutes than I have gotten in days from other attorney! Could not recommend more highly! He could have taken my money and then said sorry can’t help. Instead he helped and directed me where I need to go! Thanks Branson!

My personal lawyer. I hate that I have to say that. But it is what it is, lol. I only look for the most reasonable people to deal with in life, and Mr. Branson West is no exception. I highly recommend this lawyer. He definitely helped tremendously in me, not going to prison. So yes, I would use him again because I can't fight for myself. But with him by my side, it's like an angel on my shoulder. Thanks 🙏 I definitely do recommend him 💯 he brought me great results.
Was very professional, Respectful, And honest about my case, generously gave me very helpful information, and was clearly set on making sure I got the help I needed without merely trying to get my money

Seriously the best place. All in had was a couple questions about stuff. That was stressing me out. And Carson not only talked to me about everything. He gave me multiple options. And the fact it's a flat fee practice. If I understood it correctly. Just makes it so much better. Thank you Carson for all your help
Professional, knowledgeable, and truly helpful in resolving a family members case. Branson went above and beyond to ensure the best outcome. Highly recommend for anyone in need of skilled legal representation!

Stud!! Brilliant and super helpful!
- Joseph Griffin, Posted December 12th 2024 on google
Branson is fantastic at what he does. He’s honest, communicative, articulate, and professional. I couldn’t have found a better attorney. He explained every detail of how things could play out in court and answered any questions I had very quickly. He worked diligently to get my case dismissed and for that I am forever grateful. The court process is intimidating and complex, but he navigates it well and provides detailed insight as to how it works.

Branson West is the best decision I made when hiring a lawyer! I was facing a lot of felony charges so when looking for a lawyer, I was stressed to say the least! From the moment I met Branson he was incredibly helpful, communicating with me often or answering any questions I had!! He truly made me feel like everything was going to be ok, and everything was! I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome!!! He was able to get all charges dismissed! If you’re looking at this review trying to make a decision he truly is a great attorney and a great guy! Good luck!
Branson West is an absolute pro! He fought for 13 months for me on a case that should have been thrown out from the start. He absolutely embarrassed the prosecution by his performance in the court room. He never gave me false hope, and always was very clear about the risks, and I'm incredibly greatful that I trusted his expertise.

He did a good job explaining what was going on and keeping me up to date on everything
Branson is very good at what he does. He is extremely professional and has a well-received presence in the courtroom. His communication with me was always immediate and efficient. One of the things I was most impressed with was his ability to separate facts from opinion. Branson played out the possible scenarios of what I was to expect He asked me what MY goals were and what MY best case scenario was. I felt like I was a part of my own case and defense. He got the state to waive jail time. I am happy with the result Branson achieved for me and thankful I chose him as my lawyer.
- Derrick Phillip, Posted March 13th 2024 on google
An excellent experience all around. I have been working with Branson for the past 11 years and I only have good things that I can say. Great in the courtroom, great communication skills, well respected by the judges, and went above and beyond for my case. This guy is great. Definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a criminal defense lawyer.
- Adonis Jameson, Posted March 13th 2024 on google
Branson and his team were great to work with. They helped me understand the complicated legal system and we're always available for questions.
I had a great experience working with Branson. He always responded within a business day (usually within minutes/hours) and was courtius and professional at all times. Cost of representation was given to me upfront, and was reasonable. I also feel confident that he found the best possible resolution for my charges.
Great attorney and very intelligent. Very honest and trustworthy. He called me back literally with in 2 hours of calling his office. I believe him to be very qualified to represent me in the legal matters I was in. I trust him and most attorneys don’t even call you back ,but Mr. West will. Very good man.
Called Branson and left a message. Within minutes received a text that he was in court and would call later. An hour later he called, gave me great advice, and said he didn't want to charge me for something he felt I could do on my own. I followed his advice and things went pretty much exactly as he had explained. The outcome was better than I dared hope. I would highly recommend Branson West!!!
