John H. Nix Profile | Sherman, TX Lawyer

The John Nix Law Office is a full service criminal and civil law firm. We offer comprehensive representation for all of North Texas and Southern Oklahoma. Our quality of service and effort is best reflected in the client testimonials we've provided for your review.We truly believe that representation starts when you hire us, and simply waiting for your case to appear on a court docket is a waste of time. As they say, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."Each of our clients has not only the benefit of the highest level staff, but also the luxury of having their case analyzed and represented by a former Criminal District Attorney and Assistant General Counsel for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.

Experience is the key that allows us to focus on the issues that matter and formulate a plan that safeguards your life. We understand your life is precious to you and your loved ones, and it is you who have to live with the consequences of our representation. For that reason we believe in two fundamental principles: Any situation, no matter how dark, is capable of having its light exposed. And, as said by Samuel Houston, the seventh governor of the Republic of Texas as well as John Houston Nix's paternal ancestor, "We will not learn submission to any oppression, come from what source it may."
