Legal Ombudsman – Making a Complaint
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 to you then you should inform us immediately so that we can do our best to resolve the problem for you.
If you would like to make a formal complaint, you can access our full complaint procedure here: complaints-handling-policy
What happens if I don’t agree with your views on the complaint?
If we are unable to resolve the complaint with you, you can have the complaint independently examined by the Legal Ombudsman. The Legal Ombudsman investigates complaints about poor service from lawyers.
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
- Eight weeks after lodging your complaint with us, if you haven’t received our final response
- Within one year of the date of the act/ omission if you haven’t previously complained, or
- One year from the date that you should’ve known you had a complaint to pursue and hadn’t complained previously
You can obtain more information about the Legal Ombudsman by:
- calling them on 0300 555 0333
- going to the Legal Ombudsman website and complete their online complaint form or visit www.legalombudsman.org.uk
- emailing them at enquiries@legalombudsman.org.uk
- Address:- PO Box 6167, Slough, SL1 0EH
They will keep in contact with you and make sure your case is passed to an investigator for assessment.
What to do if you are unhappy with our behaviour
The Legal Ombudsman addresses your concerns about the level of service you received from us. Where there are more serious concerns that a solicitor or solicitor’s firm has been involved in professional misconduct, then reports can also be made to the Solicitors Regulation Authority (‘SRA’), the regulator of solicitors and solicitor firms. This could be for quite unusual and serious acts of misconduct such as dishonesty, taking or losing your money or treating you unfairly because of your age, a disability or other characteristic.
You can find out more about the SRA, including their contact details and professional conduct rules, on their website at https://www.sra.org.uk and can see how to report misconduct at: https://www.sra.org.uk/consumers/problems/report-solicitor/
