Daniel Oscroft has a diverse and busy criminal practice. He has extensive experience defending and prosecuting serious criminal cases all over the country, primarily in the West Midlands.
Daniel is regularly instructed in matters involving murder, serious violence, fraud, drugs, sexual offences, and death by driving cases. He is frequently instructed as a leading junior, as well as a junior alone, or being led by Kings Counsel.
Daniel specialises in cases involving homicide, serious violence, organised crime and high-value fraud. His recent cases have included murder, multiple kilogram drug distribution, kidnap and torture, multi-million pound tax fraud, fabricated or induced illness (FII) child abuse, and causing death by dangerous driving.
In many of these cases the evidence was substantial and complex, requiring analysis of phone and cell site material, CCTV, and whole hard drives of digital evidence. His ability to quickly and efficiently read, digest and cross-reference vast quantities of material is a real advantage in more complicated cases. Daniel’s technological experience and ability is well known on the Midland Circuit and he frequently provides training and assistance to other lawyers.
