Its not often that I leave a review, however, I highly recommend Mr. Twibell. I was able to meet through a good friend, and he was able to discuss my situation on short notice, and that is never easy for anyone. He is amazing, very well educated, and helped me to understand everything on my level,...

A Lawyer with Integrity and Compassion
I retained Branden to handle a traffic citation I received. Not only did he settle it completely to my satisfaction, but he showed me great respect and courtesy throughout the process. He was very sympathetic to issues I was facing at the time, that were unrelated to my case. I was impressed by his p...

Professional, Courteous, Engaged, Exceptional Result
I can't say enough positive things about Branden. He did so much for me as my case had a few interesting angles that took some effort on his part to figure out.

Mr. Twibell's work ethic, compassion, and intelligence has always been second to none. If i were ever in any criminal trouble, he would be the first person I called."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"As a former assistant prosecuting attorney, I had the opportunity to meet Branden many times as opposing counsel. He is always highly prepared and is an excellent advocate. In one instance, a simple speeding ticket, I remember that he went above and beyond for the young woman (a student who cared a great deal about that ticket), that he represented. He provided extensive documentation and poured a great deal of time into getting a great outcome for her. He gave a level of effort that you don't always see from defense attorneys for such small matters. That sort of work ethic resonated with me as a prosecutor. In short, Branden is the kind of attorney I would want to hire if I was in need. Now, as I have started into the world of private practice myself, he has been very generous with his time and has freely given me advice and resources that I will need to hone my own skills. Professionally and personally, he's a great guy and a fantastic example of what an attorney should be."
"I have known Branden Twibell for several years and have observed him numerous times in court as he advocates for his clients. Branden is intelligent, capable and caring and does an excellent job representing his clients. Branden has an excellent reputation with judges and fellow attorneys. I have no hesitation in recommending Branden as a criminal defense and DWI attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer."
