Our Complaints Handling Procedure
We strive to give you the best possible service. However, if at any point you become unhappy or concerned about the service we have provided then you should inform us immediately, so that we can do our best to resolve the problem.
In the first instance it may be helpful to contact the person who is working on your case to discuss your concerns and we will do our best to resolve any issues. If you would like to make a formal complaint, then you can read our full complaints procedure here. Making a complaint will not affect how we handle your case.
Solicitors Regulation Authority
The Solicitors Regulation Authority can help you if you are concerned about our behaviour. This could be for things like dishonesty, taking or losing your money or treating you unfairly because of your age, a disability, race or ethnicity.
You can raise your concerns with the Solicitors Regulations Authority here.
What To Do If We Cannot Resolve Your Complaint
The Legal Ombudsman can help you if we are unable to resolve your complaints ourselves. They will look at your complaint independently and it will not affect how we handle your case.
Before accepting a complaint for investigation, the Legal Ombudsman will check that you have tried to resolve your complaint with us first. If you have, then you must take your complaint to the Legal Ombudsman:
- Within six months of receiving a final response to your complaint, and;
- No more that six years from the date of the act/omission; or
- No more that three years from when you should reasonably have known there was cause for complaint.
