Complaints Procedure

We want to give you the best possible service. However, if at any point you become unhappy or concerned about the service we 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.  If you would prefer us to send you a copy in the post, please call us.

Making a complaint will not affect how we handle your case.

What to do if we cannot resolve your complaint

The Legal Ombudsman may be able to help you if we are unable to resolve your complaint ourselves.  They will look at your complaint independently and it will not affect how we handle your case.  To check the availability of this service, you should consult the Ombudsman’s website or make contact with them directly.

Before accepting a complaint for investigation, the Legal Ombudsman will check that you have tried to resolve your complaint with us first.  The Legal Ombudsman have deadlines for dealing with complaints:

  • Within six months of receiving a final response to your complaint from us; and
  • No more than six years from the date of act/omission; or
  • No more than three years from when you should reasonably have known there was cause for complaint.
