Jericho Law

Criminal Defence Solicitors of the Year - Oxford, 2026

Jericho Law is a distinguished criminal defence firm offering bespoke legal services. Our firm’s commitment to excellence begins at pre-charge, a critical yet often overlooked stage in criminal proceedings. We recognise that the pre-charge phase is often where pivotal decisions are made, impacting the direction of the entire case. Our proactive approach in this area ensures that our clients are fully supported during police interviews, investigations and pre-charge reviews. We meticulously analyse evidence, engage with the police and prosecutors early on and formulate strategies designed to avoid charges altogether or mitigate their severity. We are known for our extensive work in defending sexual offences and cases involving indecent images of children. In addition, our expertise spans a wide range of criminal matters including: fraud and financial crime, violent crime, domestic abuse and drug-related offences. Our team has vast experience handling sensitive and complex cases, particularly those involving allegations of serious sexual misconduct. These cases require a delicate balance of discretion and a thorough understanding of both the law and the psychological toll on our clients. Client care is central to our ethos. We understand that facing criminal proceedings can be one of the most stressful and uncertain times in a client’s life. That is why we take a compassionate, client-centred approach, ensuring they feel supported at each step of the process. We provide clear, honest communication, regularly updating clients on the progress of their case. We offer consistent, personal attention to each client and pride ourselves on being accessible and responsive.
