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

WHAT TO DO IF WE CANNOT RESOLVE YOUR COMPLAINT

If we are unable to resolve the complaint with you then you can refer the complaint to the Legal Ombudsman. The Legal Ombudsman investigates problems about poor service from lawyers. 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:

Within six months of receiving a final response to your complaint

and

No more than six years from the date of act/omission;
No more than three years from when you should reasonably have known there was cause for complaint.

If you would like more information about the Legal Ombudsman, please contact the Legal Ombudsman directly.
