DUI cases in Utah are taken seriously, no matter the type of transportation you were driving. Those accused of driving under the influence while on a motorcycle will face the same consequences as those in a car. It is never a good idea to represent yourself in a DUI case. In the State of Utah, DUI charges can lead to heavy fines, jail time, and, or suspension of your license.
If you are facing a DUI in Utah, the first thing to remember is this: Do not plead guilty! Your first DUI could cost you as much as $10,000, so it's important that you fight it aggressively, with a DUI attorney in Utah who has the knowledge and experience to represent you. Choose Branson K West, a winning Criminal Defense Attorney in SLC, Utah.
DUI stands for "driving under the influence" and usually it is used to mean just that--driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. However, Utah laws allow for DUI penalties to be applied in another type of situation. If traces of an illegal drug, or metabolites, are found in your system, and authorities can prove that you have been driving, you can be charged with what is known as DUI Metabolite charges.
If you are facing DUI charges in Utah, you need to know about breath tests and blood tests. Once you've been placed under arrest, the officer will have you blow into a device called an intoxilyzer, either on scene or back at the station. Contrary to popular belief, breath tests performed on this machine are not 100% accurate.
An ignition interlock device (IID) is wired to your car's starter and requires an individual to blow into the device before starting the engine. The vehicle will not start if the device detects any amount of alcohol on the driver's breath. IIDs must be installed and calibrated by a provider that is certified by the state of Utah.

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

I loved working with Branson West! He is very professional, kind, understanding and patient. I was so scared and embarrassed to even have to get an attorney for fear of judgment because I was already so embarrassed I was even in that situation. But he didn't make me feel judged whatsoever, he took the time to listen to my concerns and walked me through the process so that I understood everything. I was an anxious mess throughout the whole experience but he would take the time to talk with me on the phone and make sure all my questions were answered and gave me peace of mind.

Branson was extremely helpful with my case. He took the time to explain what was going on and what all of my options were. If I didnt have his help my sentence would have been a lot worse. His paralegal was also extremely helpful and friendly and responded very quickly to the many e-mails I had to send her. I would highly recommend Branson for your case.
