Finding the right attorney can be a daunting task. Our family received a recommendation to call Branden Twibell and it was a God send. Branden met outside of business hours for first consultation and we knew right away this was our guy. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and was highly responsive whenever you have questions or concerns through the entire process. It is evident that he is also respected by those in the court systems he serves be it judges, prosecutors, or officers. If you are reading this review, find comfort in knowing that this is an amazing choice for an attorney, he and his staff will take great care of you. 5 out of 5 without a doubt.read more

To say that Branden Twibell is an amazing attorney is an understatement! When we had our consultation with Branden we didn’t know what to expect, but it’s safe to say he went above and beyond all expectations we could’ve had. You can tell that he truly cares about you and your family. He’s extremely knowledgeable and professional. He has always been quick to respond even if it’s after hours, or the weekend. We would recommend him to anyone, and if we or anyone we know ever need an attorney we know exactly who we will call!read more
