Police station interview

I can’t thank Jack ward and Istvan Gargocz enough for everything they did for me. From the second they got involved, they took complete control of the situation reassuring me, explaining my options, and making sure the police followed proper procedure. They were sharp, confident, and incredibly supportive throughout the interview. Their advice was spot-on and helped keep the process fair. If you’re in a difficult situation and need legal representation who will stand with you and fight for you, this is the team you want on your side. I highly recommend Tank Jowett definitely 5 stars.

Title: Poor Experience and Professional Embarrassment Admitted by Tank

My experience with Tank Jowett Solicitors was extremely disappointing and stressful. I worked with Jack Ward and Istvan Gragocz, and found communication inconsistent and support lacking at key moments in my case. This created significant anxiety and loss of confidence in the firm’s handling of my matter. The firm later acknowledged what they described as “professional embarrassment” in relation to their representation, which was deeply concerning to hear as a client. Following this, my correspondence with Rajesh felt unnecessarily confrontational — in particular, he repeated the question of whether I intended to take legal action several times in the same letter. I found this approach inappropriate and unprofessional, especially given the sensitivity of my situation. In addition, Rajesh referred to my concerns as “opportunistic,” which I felt was unfair and dismissive of the genuine issues I raised. I have since submitted a formal complaint to the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and the Legal Ombudsman for independent review of my experience. While I respect that no firm is perfect, my experience left me feeling completely unsupported and disheartened. Based on this, I would not recommend Tank Jowett Solicitors. Mr Ali
