Tim Baker has extensive experience working within criminal law, both for the defence and the prosecution. As a defence lawyer, Tim regularly represents clients who are interviewed under caution for a wide variety of offences, including serious sexual offences, fraud and homicide. Tim is an accomplished advocate, having spent many years conducting his own trials in the Magistrates Court.
Tim was also formerly employed by the Crown Prosecution Service as a Senior Crown Prosecutor in the Thames Valley Crown Court team. His responsibilities included reviewing case files, providing legal advice and analysing and preparing serious cases for trial in the Crown Court. One of Tim’s key responsibilities was to provide pre-charge advice to the police. This involved analysing whether there was sufficient evidence to charge suspects with particular offences. This makes Tim especially adept at drafting pre-charge representations on behalf of his clients.
In Tim’s last role, he held a senior position within a criminal defence firm who specialise in representing high-net worth individuals and celebrities. During his time there Tim refined his skills in drafting pre-charge representations on behalf of clients, largely for sexual offences. Tim also handled cases of serious violence, domestic abuse and serious fraud.
Tim is extremely personable and builds a strong rapport with his clients, many of whom he has kept in touch with after the conclusion of their cases.

Thank you
I would formally like to thank you for representing me in my recent case with the police. It was a real pleasure to meet and work with you. You made a very stressful situation bearable. The positive outcome of the case was undoubtedly down to your legal expertise and great ability to manage the process. I felt throughout the process I was in safe hands

Fantastic Solicitor
I was assigned a Legal Aid solicitor initially and it became apparent after a few months that I wasn't getting the service I needed or desired. After speaking to Tim just once, I instantly regretted not looking for his services earlier. A huge amount of stress for my whole family and I could have been avoided had we done so!
Tim is easy to talk to and gives clear advice, that is honest and unbiased. He is responsive and understanding, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Tim and his incredible legal knowledge to anyone who requires it.

He made sure I had a clear understanding of the situation and of what to expect next, and was able to adapt to the situation, even when it changed somewhat unexpectedly. He is extremely professional and always available. I would highly recommend.

Review of representation
Being in a position in which you need to instruct a solicitor is not somewhere that many people expect to find themselves. You are immediately struck by deep anxiety, uncertainty and a sense of desperation. It is absolutely essential that you select an individual who is able to calmly navigate you through what is inevitably going to be a very difficult time in your life. Tim is your person. He offers a deep knowledge of the system, great strategic thinking, and most importantly, a humanity that is necessary to keep you sane. He is attentive to your needs and emotional state and takes as much of the burden away as possible. He is reassuring while also pragmatic. He is detail-orientated while also keeping a view of the direction of the big picture. I would definitely recommend instructing him.

Very helpful, go the point you feel relieved.
Incredibly helpful, especially when he had lots of experience and knew exactly what to do, on day 1. Speaking to him gave me instant relief, and we managed to get the best possible outcome. Would very, very much recommend.

Jericho Law 5 stars
Tim from Jericho Law offered me a fantastic service during a very difficult time in my life. Any questions I had about the process were answered by Tim who kept me in the loop about the best direction for us to take. I could get in contact at any point and would receive a phone call at Tim's earliest possibility. This whole process was extremely stressful for me but talking to Tim gave me confidence we would reach the right verdict without just telling me what I wanted to hear remaining completely professional. Our case had no further action taken against us in less than two months and I believe I have Tim to thank for this being resolved so quickly.
