You may feel like you have nowhere to turn. You’re worried and anxious because you’re afraid you might go to jail. You could also have a permanent stain on your public record. Or, you might not be able to move past this and get back to how your life was before you faced charges.
Understandably, you might feel incredibly stressed out and above all else, alone.
But you’re not. Our Salt Lake City team, Conyers & Nix, is here to help.
We have wide-range experience defending clients charged with felonies and misdemeanors in District Courts and Justice Courts. Whether you’re already charged with a crime or about to land in legal trouble, we will not only protect your legal rights–we will be your advocate through this difficult and daunting process. We bring extensive experience and effective advocacy to every case to support your individual needs and concerns.
We only practice criminal defense; we have exclusively practiced it for over a decade. We’ve defended thousands of individuals against prosecution and have been successful in achieving the goals of our clients. We don’t just fight for your legal case–we fight for you.
Remember…
Never speak to police without an attorney present. Never! If you are being investigated for a crime, call us immediately! An attorney will speak to the police on your behalf, get more details about the investigation, and then recommend whether a police interview is in your best interest. Often, an interview will not help and will only give police evidence that will help them and hurt you.
Even if you are innocent, talk to us to help you decide whether you should speak with police. If we determine that an interview would be helpful, we will go with you and prevent you from making incriminating statements.
Speaking to police without an attorney doesn’t make you look innocent—it makes you look unprepared, inexperienced, and leaves you vulnerable. Without an attorney, the detective will ask you hard questions, make you look foolish, and frame innocent facts as clues of guilt. The presence of an attorney will keep police on their best behavior.
Questions About Working With Conyers & Nix

Other Related Services
If you are charged with any other type of crime, we can help you. We work with clients who are facing charges related to animals, such as having a dog/animal at large, cruelty to animals, fishing without a license, and destruction of wildlife.
We also represent clients who are charged with protest defense, failure to stop at the command of law enforcement, and probation violations. We aim to resolve charges with an expungement, which means that a crime is taken off of your public record. Then you won’t have to stress about future employers or anyone else seeing that you are charged.
