Practice Areas

Tim Baker is the director and founder of Jericho Law. He 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, indecent image offences and serious violence. 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 also 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.

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.

- “I cannot speak too highly of Tim Baker. The first time I spoke to him, he instilled confidence and I felt so much better just after that one phone call. It was so reassuring knowing that there was someone out there who understood the problem from a legal point of view, was familiar with the processes involved and knew what was required to resolve the situation. Tim is knowledgeable and professional and kept us informed of every development. In addition he was always there on the end of the phone to answer questions and give an informed opinion on any new developments. From the very first phone call to the final debrief, Tims empathy, efficiency and specialised knowledge helped us navigate what was a devastating problem to achieve the best possible outcome.”

- “We contacted Tim to assist us on a truly difficult matter for our family. Immediately he immersed himself in the case, his supportive and caring attitude were fantastic. He was super professional with the preparation, asking the right questions and bringing additional expertise along the way. Furthermore, he had balanced and clear communication that made it comfortable to navigate this complicated situation. His diligence and tact were determinant in winning the case and we are truly grateful for this. Highly recommended.”

- “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.”
