I would like to say thank you so much to Jesse Nix for everything he has done for me in a case that he got dismissed for me. I would highly recommend him for any of your criminal issues he went above and beyond for me and he is so kind and understanding and that meant a lot to me. I couldn't thank him enough for everything he has done and I'm thankful that I was able to get him as my attorney because if I would have got stuck with Mr Vandekamp I would of been stuck with a crime I did not commit. Thank you so much Jess!!!

Attorney Jesse Nix
Jesse began his legal career working for the Salt Lake District Attorney in 2008, but quickly learned that he’d rather defend someone who made a mistake rather than put an innocent person in jail. His interest in helping people at their worst moments comes from his belief that every person, regardless of their background or crime, deserves the best defense. He joined the Salt Lake Legal Defender Association (LDA) in 2012 where he excelled at achieving excellent results for his clients, despite at times having the highest caseload of any attorney. Recognizing his legal skills and ability to teach others, Jesse became LDA’s intern coordinator. He was responsible for training law students from the University of Utah and Brigham Young University on practicing criminal defense. Jesse’s passion for helping people at their worst moments persuaded Jesse to form Conyers & Nix.

Frequently
Asked Questions
It is best to consult a lawyer as soon as you are arrested, charged, or believe you may be under investigation. Early legal guidance helps protect your rights during questioning and initial proceedings.
During an initial consultation, the attorney reviews your charges, explains possible defenses, and outlines next steps in the criminal process. This helps you understand your legal position and available options.
Nix Law provides guidance on Utah’s legal procedures, evaluates evidence, identifies potential rights violations, and prepares a defense strategy consistent with state and federal law.
You have the right to confidential legal communication, to remain silent, and to have an attorney present during questioning. These protections apply under the Fifth and Sixth Amendments and Utah’s Constitution Article I, Section 12.
After representation begins, your attorney may file motions, negotiate plea options, or prepare for trial. Nix Law helps ensure that deadlines are met and your rights are upheld throughout the process.
