Arrested in Utah?
Let our firm work to keep you out of jail.
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 Kate Conyers
Kate started her career as a civil litigator, but realized that her talents were more suited for the fast-paced atmosphere of criminal defense. She joined the Salt Lake Legal Defender Association (LDA) in 2011, representing hundreds of indigent defendants in plea negotiations and trial. In addition to her legal work, Kate provides extensive pro bono work, including spearheading the Veterans Administration Legal Clinic at the VA Hospital on the U campus.
Kate has been recognized with many national and state awards, including the prestigious Sandra Day O’Connor Award for Professional Service by the American Inns of Court, Utah State Bar Young Lawyer of the Year Award, and the Utah State Bar Pro Bono Publico Young Lawyer of the Year Award. Most recently in 2018, the University of Utah awarded Kate with their Distinguished Alumna award.
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.
Jesse was recognized for his legal expertise when he was nominated to become a Judge in the Salt Lake City Justice Court. After he was not selected by Mayor Jackie Biskupski, Utah Governor Gary Herbert appointed Jesse to serve on Utah’s Third District Judicial Nominating Commission where he interviews lawyers applying to be trial judges.

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.
