Jenny Wiltshire

Jenny has a wealth of experience in police investigation of major crime and the complex lengthy Crown Court trials to which they lead. Jenny has represented defendants in many of the largest and most high profile prosecutions of recent years including “baby shaking” cases where she is a fast rising star.

Jenny is described by leading counsel as “exceptionally hard working, a really good and inventive lawyer. She listens and therefore gets the best out of clients. Her organisation of a case is second to none and her terrier like ability on disclosure matters unearths secrets that are often case breaking”.

Her cases include murder, rape, major drugs investigations, fraud and confiscation. Her particular expertise lies in dealing with and unravelling difficult forensic issues. Her work often involves the mastery of a vast body of material including complex medical opinion.
