Our aim is to provide a quality and professional service. If at any stage you are dissatisfied with our service, then please inform us, and we will act efficiently to resolve any issues.
The first person to contact regarding the issue, is the member of staff who is working on your matter, who will take steps to resolve any issue you have. If the issue still is not resolved, then please contact us by telephone or email or in writing and ask for our complaints procedure to make a formal complaint and we will send this to you.
If we still can not resolve your complaint, then you can refer the issue to the Legal Ombudsman, who will act independently in finding a resolution. The Legal Ombudsman would usually only get involved provided you first tried to resolve the complaint with us. The time limits for filing a complaint with them are as follows:
- Within six months of receiving a final response to your complaint
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.
Raising any issue with ourselves or the Legal Ombudsman will not affect the conduct of your matter.
