What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Tankards Law draws consistent praise for combining technical legal skill with a personal approach that clients find reassuring. Several reviewers name Zac Tankard, describing matters being explained plainly, questions answered without delay and court representation that produced outcomes exceeding expectations, including defended traffic charges. Dominic Smith is singled out for diligence and for being readily contactable, with bail applications and withdrawn charges cited among the results. Carmen is repeatedly mentioned for the warmth and efficiency she brings to the early stages of a matter.

A theme running through the accounts is thorough preparation before hearings, paired with fees that customers regard as reasonable for the work involved. Criminal justice advocacy is the area most often discussed, and the firm's advice is also noted across broader legal problems. Clients describe being updated as their circumstances shifted and receiving support well after a matter had closed. Some had prior experience in the legal field and still found the service attentive, which they credit to the consistency shown by the whole team from first contact through to resolution.

⸻ I engaged Dominic Smith from Tankards Law, Wagga Wagga, and the result was absolutely amazing. Within just three weeks I was granted bail, and shortly after that all of my charges were withdrawn and dismissed. Dominic goes above and beyond for his clients — he’s always contactable and consistently returns calls and emails promptly. I’m incredibly grateful for his hard work and dedication. Thank you so much, Dominic, for everything you’ve done. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Smith and Tankards Law to anyone in need of legal support. Kind Regards Paul De Jesus

Zac went above and beyond for me and answered my pleas for help with my situation. I never expected that to happen and I'm still speechless but also beyond grateful for his time. Not only did he give me sound advice on what my next steps should be but he confirmed I'm not going crazy and I have been given incorrect information and there is actually a light at the end of this very dark tunnel I have been going through for over 4 months 🙏 my tears of relief flowed that's for sure. Thank you Zac, you have no idea how much you've helped me.

I worked with Tankards Law for a few months and I honestly couldn’t be more grateful for the help and support I received. They handled my case with professionalism, patience and a clear understanding of the law. Even when things were stressful or confusing, they always explained everything clearly and kept me updated. I appreciated how responsive and understanding they were especially when I had questions. If you’re looking for lawyers who will actually listen, guide you properly and genuinely try to get you the best result, I highly recommend Tankards Law. They made a tough process a lot more manageable.

From the very first interaction with Zac and his team you knew you were in good hands. A quick google of his business and reading the reviews speaks for itself. I cannot recommend Zac highly enough for all things legal
