DANIEL JONES - PREPARATION WINS CASES

As a member of the Bar of England and Wales since 1994 (and called to the Bar of Northern Ireland) Dan Jones is known for his “no-nonsense” approach to cross-examination, his clarity with clients, and his persuasive advocacy. Believing that preparation wins cases, he has a keen eye for detail, through an often-noted ability to maintain his focus, and that of those around him, on the real issues in a case.

Dan has extensive experience as a leading, led and sole junior, advising, and now primarily defending in the whole spectrum of criminal cases (i.e. general and serious crime, Homicide, offences of serious violence, firearms, drugs offences, terrorism, sexual offences, confiscation, restraint & asset recovery proceedings, commercial crime and fraud, money laundering, and road traffic offences).

Beyond criminal law, he has a business background (which makes him an ideal lead lawyer in fraud cases) and particular expertise in social security, child support law, and regulatory work.

As well as accepting both private and publicly funded instructions in England Wales and Northern Ireland, Dan is able to accept direct access work.
