Dwi

Thomas is very professional and very good at what he does. He was able to help me out of a DWI by getting me enrolled in a program that will eventually take it off my record. He was very helpful and very reasonably priced!

Thomas West - committed to our case

My brother has had problems with alcohol in the past, and has previously served time in prison for multiple DUI’s. After the death of our mother, he fell off the wagon again and subsequently had a motorcycle wreck causing an incapacitating Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). He was charged with an enhan...ced DUI due to the extremely high alcohol level and his prior record. My brother’s injury was so severe that he was in a TBI Rehab unit for 11 months before he was discharged. I had contacted Thomas West a few days after the accident and he handled all the legalities while my brother was in rehabilitation. Upon my brother’s discharge from the rehabilitation facility, it was time for him to face the charges. Thomas compiled all the medical records he needed to show that my brother could not withstand another blow to the head should he be involved in any type of prison fight. Thomas successfully negotiated to have the court agree to put my brother in a drug and alcohol rehab program, out of state where I live. Four months later, when we went to court, we walked out with a probated sentence. A couple of months later, Thomas went back to court and helped my brother obtain an occupational drivers license. It’s been a year now and my brother still lives out of state near me doing just great. We’re extremely happy with the work Mr. Thomas West has done for us, and would highly recommend him for any criminal issues you may have.

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.
