Tang, Bentley & Jackson Solicitors, Fareham, Hampshire

Edward Jackson LL.B (Hons)Solicitor & Director

I started out my career in criminal law 30 years ago as a Legal Advisor in the Magistrates' Court.

Most of my working life has since been spent in private practice and has always involved defence work. Whilst I cover all aspects of the work I have a particular interest in Road Traffic Law. There is still something special and enjoyable about helping those individuals who have just been unfortunate and are facing disqualification as a result.

Geographically I have been providing help and assistance in Southampton, Fareham and Portsmouth in Hampshire all of my working life.

Stephen Bentley B.A. (Hons)Solicitor & Director

I have been qualified as a solicitor for over 26 years and cover all of aspects of our criminal workload.

Prior to coming into private practice I worked as a Clerk to the Justices and provided Judicial training.

With our busy workload I am most often found at a police station advising and assisting clients or on my feet in Court.

Theresa Tang LL.B (Hons)Solicitor & Director

From the time I qualified as a solicitor, 12 years ago, I have always worked locally and always as a defence solicitor.

I like to think that am a good listener and someone who recognises the importance of ensuring that a client realises that someone is personally interested in their case and working hard to help them.

Knowing that the best result possible has been achieved for a client is what gives me the most job satisfaction.

Daniel Reilly LL.B (Hons)Barrister

I was called to Bar as a barrister in 1995 and have worked in the criminal courts since this time.

In the early part of my career, at the independent Bar, I both defended and prosecuted cases. This background I believe helps give a better balance to the approach taken on any a given case. I have, however, specialised in defence work for the last 8 years.

The majority of my time is spent at the Crown Court where my workload is varied and regularly involves representing those charged with the most serious of offences.

Sally Martin B.A. (Hons)Solicitor

I spent much of my early career working in Portsmouth before joining TBJ in 2005.

I like to think that I have a friendly and approachable personality and certainly I am passionate about getting the right result for our clients.

Gillian Bell B.Sc (Hons)Solicitor

Whilst I cover all aspects of the work I am often found working as one of the Crown Court Team. I have in this role had conduct of some of our biggest cases including a multi-defendant murder trial.

I not only enjoy, but am passionate about, the work that we do.
