Our Story

The director of SJB Legal Consultants Ltd, Stephen James Bunker, had an ambition during his time of studies to become a successful business owner and entrepreneur, working within the criminal defence law sector, which was his main interest.

The journey started in 2003, with a clerking role at a London-based law firm. Here, Mr Bunker would assist barristers in the Crown Court before moving onto the role of a case preparation worker, giving him the range of case knowledge and experience that he has today.

In 2006, at the very young age of 21, Mr Bunker was awarded the title of an Accredited Legal Representative by Cardiff University – a course ran by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. This qualification allowed him to express himself at the police station and advise in the most serious of cases from the very outset. Mr Bunker then went on to qualify as an Associate Member of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (ACILEx).

By 2013, having gained a senior level of experience in the industry, Mr Bunker adopted a new managerial role of head of police station department at a leading national law firm of Criminal Solicitors. Then, in 2016, he founded the company SJB Legal Consultants Ltd with a view of working in a consultancy role, which enabled him to have an independent way of working along with his father, Leslie Charles Bunker.

Today, we remain a small, family-run business which handles cases with care and the client’s best interests in mind. This is demonstrated in the consistently excellent reviews that we receive. We adopt a very diverse and down to earth approach in a jargon-free manner, to put the client at ease from the very outset. We have an appreciation for and understanding of the very stressful and potentially life-changing experience that a client is going through. We personally have over a decade of experience when it comes to advising suspects in interviews with the police in the most serious of circumstances. Since the beginning, we have also been recognised and instructed by various top tier law firms across England to represent their clients in interviews with a view that they are in safe hands with our expertise.

The end goal is to see where this story will end.
