Posted by Victoria | June 06, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

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...atience and thoughtfulness. I would recommend Branden Twibell to any one, for any legal issue that arises. Five stars is not enough.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"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."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
