Absolutely phenomenal advice, I would not and could not recommend anyone different even though they suggested other terms the advice was honest and extremely helpful for the long run, honestly I would call these guys before you waste your time with ANYONE else! Very pleased with my experience and the advice given read more

I normally don't leave reviews, but I must say that CCCD has exceded my expectations! I honestly don't know why anyone would even consider going anywhere else. Kit gave me a prompt complimentary consultation and was very professional and straightforward. He then had Billy represent me, and I could not believe I was in n out of court within 10 minutes!!! So professional and compassionate making sure to value their clients time. Not too mention Jaime is also amazing and is always available too answer any questions or referrals I may have throughout the process. Love this team, and definitely think they deserve some recognition Not to mention they do not give you the run around and charge a flat reasonable rate with NO hidden fees read more

Central Coast Criminal Defense is a 10 Star. Kit Wescott was the attorney who represented me. He did such a fantastic job. He was extremely professional and really took the time to explain to me the different ways my case could go. He kept in contact with me. If I had a question I never had to wait longer then 10 minutes for a call back from Kit. I did contact 2 other attorneys before hiring Kit. I went with him because he took the time to talk with me and his cost was much more reasonable. The other 2 attorneys I talked with wanted almost double. I hope I don't have to hire a criminal attorney again but if I do I will hire Kit no questions asked. Without going into to much detail Kit was able to get my case dismissed before my first court appearance. I can't thank Kit enough!!! 10 read more

I needed a criminal defense lawyer to take on my silly case due to my busy schedule. I worked with the SM branch and Jaime was my direct contact. The Team was professional, timely, helpful and transparent. With their help my case was dismissed. I hope I don't have to use them again, but if so, I wouldn't hesitate. read more

My family was faced with a need to call on a defense attorney to help our son a few years ago. We first talked to Kit and after talking to him proceeded with acquiring their services. Billy and Jamie were both very helpful and took the time to talk with us and explain what would happen and what to do each step of the way. Going through a process like this is very stressful and difficult. We are very thankful for all of the help that was given to us and highly recommend this firm to anyone who needs their help. Billy and Jamie we can't thank you enough. read more

I went to Central Coast Criminal Defense for assistance dealing with a DUI. Billy, Adrianne and Jamie all worked extremely hard to get me the best possible outcome. And they DID!! Not only were they professional, communicative and helpful, they were also extremely kind, making this process less stressful. They have helped a few of my close friends as well with equal amounts of success, I wouldn't recommend anyone else. Thank you again CCCD for helping me keep my license and record clean :)! read more

I am writing this review on behalf of my husband who is facing charges that I'd rather keep private. I don't really ever write reviews, but working with Kit has lifted a tremendous weight off my shoulders. I thought it was worth sharing my experience thus far. It's not easy looking for an attorney. Fees, time, court dates, every day family matters, and well, actually having to face your family and telling them your husband has been accused of a crime is overwhelming. I am some what embarrassed of the situation. After my consultation, I felt confident, and reassured. They were understanding, walked me through the process, were realistic and didn't feed me false expectations. I've went through 2 different lawyers already who made me feel like they only wanted money. This wasn't the case. They listened to me. I felt they were compassionate to my situation. read more

We are so thankful we chose Central Coast Criminal Defense to represent our son! His case was complicated and took a lot of patience and time to complete. The fees were very reasonable compared to other attorneys. The team went above and beyond what is normally expected including ultimately getting the charges dismissed. Billy and Jamie were awesome and very patient with us while we worked through this process together. Having never been through anything like this as a family they always kept us informed even during the Pandemic. We cannot express how grateful we are to them for all of their hard work! read more

As a business owner, I took a disturbing call about an incident that supposedly involved one of my employees. Out of an abundance of caution I called Central Coast Criminal Defense. A live person answered the phone after a few rings, and gave me time to explain my situation. He then referred me to Kit, who assisted me further. Kit immediately educated me on both mine and my employee's rights and exactly how to handle the situation further. Thank goodness I confirmed the caller was mistaken, but had I not, I would have felt completely comfortable referring my employee to him for assistance. It is refreshing to call an attorney who doesn't rush to "start the timer" as soon as he picks up the phone. I can honesty say that his advice kept me from overreacting to a situation that could have damaged the relationship between me and my employee. The last thing I would say is no matter how many legal shows you've watched, don't think you know anything about the law. A quick call to Kit prevented me from both giving and taking my own bad advice. read more

Cody Christansen and Kit Westbrook are GREAT! I had a court issue in San Luis Obispo Superior Court. I live out of the area and out the state for 10 years, I had been unaware of my legal situation for this time. Kit and Cody along with James, managed to collect "all" the information regarding my case (wow) considering all the time that had gone by. They took a patient amount of time informing me of the situation and the course of action that should be taken. AWESOME!! This attention to detail with information allowed me to feel as confident as they were going into court. SO GREAT! They had great follow up as my case ended with great results, 100% Satisfied. The saying "walk a mile in the other mans shoes", these guys did just that in representing me. I can't say enough and I will say this, " don't go to court without one of them! read more

I found Central Coast Criminal Defense on Yelp after getting arrested for a dui last year around this time in Santa Maria. Their prices were very reasonable. I am so I glad I went with them! My case was a bit complicated. I chose the blood test over the breathalyzer due to the fact I did not think I had drank an excessive amount of alcohol. Along with the fact that I was pulled over for a broken headlight. I didn't do great on the sobriety test, but didn't fail it miserably either. I hesitated with getting a lawyer being told there's nothing you can do with a first time dui. Luckily one friend convinced to go get one. The first thing they did was appeal with the dmv to put a hold on suspending my license. It was around thanksgiving and Christmas, my son had just joined the navy. His first home visit was gonna be during Christmas. I live in LA but visit my family in Santa Maria often. I never thought how hard it would be to get around LA not having a license. CCCD made it so I kept my license through the holidays. That was worth the price alone. They also made most of my court appearances for me, saving me the trip from LA. It took the court about 4 months till they got my blood results. Which came in at 0.072. I thought it would've been dropped but the DA persisted. Finally after 8 more months, right before going to trial, the charges were dismissed! It was a long process but so worth it! I know it's rare to get a dui dismissed but I couldn't have done it without Central Coast Criminal Defense! read more

I lost my license for 4 years due to a ticket out of my area that was 4K. Not being able to afford most attorneys I had spoken to I felt doomed until Kit agreed to help me at an affordable rate...He gave no promises but boy did he deliver...Just got my license back thanks to cCCD's team...God Bless You! read more
