Tyler Ayres is the founding attorney of Ayres Law Firm and has been licensed in Utah since 2001. As owner of the firm since 2002, he has spent more than two decades representing people facing criminal allegations and other high-stakes legal problems, with a background that includes criminal defense, DUI matters, and trial work.
What sets Tyler apart isn’t bold claims or marketing language. He focuses on giving clients clear explanations of what’s happening now, what to expect next, and how the system actually works so they can make confident decisions during one of the most stressful periods of their lives.
Tyler earned his Juris Doctor from Willamette University College of Law after completing his Bachelor of Science at the University of Utah. He also attended the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College, an experience that reflects his long-standing commitment to courtroom advocacy, trial strategy, and the protection of individual rights.
His professional background is supported by active involvement in the defense bar. He is a member of the Utah Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the National Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys, and is frequently invited to speak on DUI trials and jury trial advocacy.
Tyler’s work has earned recognition from peers and legal rating services over the years. He received an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell in 2018, was recognized by Utah Business Magazine among the Best Criminal Defense Lawyers in 2009, and published DUI Insider Guide in 2010.
Clients facing criminal accusations are often dealing with fear, uncertainty, and the feeling that they have been dropped into a system they do not understand. Tyler’s role is to provide honest answers, practical strategy, and a calmer path forward, so clients are not left guessing about hearings, options, or what is around the next corner.
