Your Right To Complain
We are committed to providing the highest quality of service. If you are a client and you have any concerns or complaints about any of the services we provide to you, we would like to discuss them with you and try to resolve them as soon as possible. Initially, we suggest that you contact the person responsible for the particular matter or their supervisor.
If you do not resolve your issues, then the firm has a written formal complaints procedure, a copy of which is attached here.
In the unlikely event that the matter is still not resolved at the conclusion of our complaints process, you are entitled to make a complaint to the Legal Ombudsman, details below:
Legal Ombudsman
PO Box 6806

E: enquiries@legalombudsman.org.uk
T: 0300 555 0333
You can find further information about the Ombudsman on their website https://www.legalombudsman.org.uk/
If you wish to raise a complaint to the Ombudsman then you should not delay in bringing it to their attention once our complaints process has concluded as there are some time limits on when this must be done. For example,
You must take your complaint to the Legal Ombudsman within six months of the date of our final written response to your complaint.
