COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE 

 

 

 

Our Service

We aim to offer all our clients an efficient and effective service and we are confident that we will do so in your case. However, if you become dissatisfied with any aspect of the service provided by us you should, in the first instance, bring it to the attention of Mr  L Braitch . You can do this by writing, by telephone or by making an appointment for this purpose. If you cannot resolve the aspect of dissatisfaction between Administrator and yourself, you may then refer the matter to Mr L S Braitch  who will explain our procedure for handling complaints to you in detail.

If you are dissatisfied with the service we have provided then you have the right to complain to The Legal Ombudsman

However, before you contact the Legal Ombudsman you must first register an official complaint with us. Normally, the Legal Ombudsman expects you to give us 8 weeks to try to resolve the matter. If after 8 weeks you are still dissatisfied you can involve the Legal Ombudsman. For more information on how the Legal Ombudsman works please visit the Legal Ombudsman website.

Timescales

In normal circumstances you are required to register a complaint within one year.  You must then give us 8 weeks to try to resolve your complaint before contacting the Legal Ombudsman. A complaint to the Legal Ombudsman must normally be made within six months of the date of the conclusion of the Firm’s complaints procedure. In summary:

  • You must register your complaint with us within one year of the act or omission being complained about, or one year from the date when you should have realised that there was cause for complaint.
  • The Legal Ombudsman expects you to give us 8 weeks to try to resolve your complaint
  • After this time, you can contact the Legal Ombudsman (but you must do so within 6 months)

The Legal Ombudsman is allowed to exercise discretion to extend the one year time limit for specific clients if, on the evidence, it is fair and reasonable to do so. Contact details for the Legal Ombudsman are below:

Legal Ombudsman
PO Box 6167

Getting Started

To register a formal complaint, please write to us and include all the information suggested by the Legal Ombudsman – their website includes some useful resources.

In addition to the Legal Ombudsman, several other complaints bodies exist which are also able to deal with complaints about legal services – these are:

  • www.ombudsman-services.org
  • www.promediate.co.uk
  • www.gov.uk/guidance/small-claims-mediation-service

You may also choose to make a report to the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). This could be if you are concerned about our professional behaviour or conduct, such as for things like dishonesty, deliberately overcharging you, or treating you unfairly because of a characteristic such as your age, sex or disability.

You can find out how to make a report at https://www.sra.org.uk/consumers/problems/report-solicitor or contact the SRA at their details below:
