What to do if we cannot resolve your complaint?
The Legal Ombudsman may be able to help you 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:-
- Within six months of receiving our final response to your complaint
and
- no more than one year from the date of the act or omission being complained about; or
- no more than one year from the date when you should reasonably have know that there was cause for complaint.

What to do if you are unhappy with our behaviour?
The Solicitors Regulation Authority can help if you are concerned about our behaviour. This could be for things like dishonesty, taking or losing your money, or treating you unfairly because of your age, a disability or other characteristic.
