Biography

Jerry Salcido is one of the most experienced criminal defense lawyers in Utah. With more than two decades of law practice behind him, there is little he hasn't seen. He excels in the courtroom and thrives in front of juries. 

Even before graduating near the top of his class from J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University, he was defending indigent clients and practicing before the courts as a law student under a special exception to the rules. 

While Jerry is focused on all aspects of criminal defense, he focuses heavily in defending those accused of violent crimes including sexual offenses, and has some of the most experience in trying cases through jury verdict of any attorney in the State.
