"I learned a lot by talking to this attorney."
Look at the bottom of your DUI citation, and you'll find a section of fine print that warns you that your UT driver's license will be suspended automatically unless you request a hearing within 10 calendar days of the date of arrest. Most people aren't sure what this means or how to do it. Call me, your DUI Attorney in Salt Lake City, Utah, with no obligation. Don't wait, or you may regret it. On a first offense, you could face a license suspension of 120 days or an 18 month revocation if you refused a breath test. If you don't request your hearing in the first 10 calendar days, there is NO provision for getting your license back, even if they shouldn't have taken it in the first place. Call Branson to get a free consultation today.
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!!!‐ Darin Clark, Posted May 24th 2023 on google

Branson took care of my case exactly the way I thought it should have been. He and his team aka Hailee were and have been all I could have hoped for. I think I found him after a simple search brought his name up when he was doing an add or promotion. Sometimes things just click and this was one of those times. I would recommend him to anyone. If you find yourself in need of a fighter in your corner Branson is a good choice.‐ Todd Macfarlane, Posted February 26th 2023 on google

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

When you were charged with a DUI you may not have been told that you have two major deadlines which are rapidly approaching after you are arrested for driving under the influence. If you ignore them, the consequences could be devastating.
If you don't request a driver's license hearing in the first 10 calendar days, you will lose your license, regardless of how good your case might be. And there's nothing an attorney can do about it after the fact.
The second deadline is to contact the court no less than 5, nor more than 14 days. If you miss this deadline, the court WILL issue a warrant for your arrest and officer may be sent to your home or place of employment to arrest you.
Branson has handled thousands of Utah DUI cases in Salt Lake City and the local court systems. He KNOWS Utah's judges and he knows the prosecutors who handle the DUI cases.

Remember- DO NOT PLEAD GUILTY TO YOUR UTAH DUI CHARGE! Your first DUI in Salt Lake City and Utah could cost you as much as $10,000 in fines, so it's important that you fight it aggressively.
