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 have provided then you should inform us immediately so that we can do our best to resolve the problem.
In the first instance, it would 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 please contact our Mr Porter, who is the complaints partner and he will endeavour to resolve any grievance to your satisfaction. If your complaint relates to a matter dealt with by Mr Porter, please contact our Mr Wood, who is the partner responsible for legal compliance. In the unlikely event that we are unable to satisfy any grievance to your satisfaction, you are entitled to refer the matter to the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the legal Ombudsmen. Further details will be given upon request. Making a complaint will not affect how we handle your case.
What to do if we cannot resolve your complaint
The Legal Ombudsman can 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.
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:
The Legal Ombudsman expects complaints to be made to them within one year of the date of the act or omission about which you are concerned or within one year of you realising there was a concern. You must also refer your concerns to the Legal Ombudsman within six months of our final response to you
If you would like more information about the Legal Ombudsman, please contact them.
