If you are not satisfied with the outcome of our investigation into your complaint, you have the right to have your complaint investigated by the Legal Ombudsman (LeO), which is a fully independent body with official powers to resolve customer complaints about legal services.

They can be contacted:

• By telephone on 0300 555 0333
• By post at PO Box 6086 Wolverhampton WV1 9WJ
• visiting the Legal Ombudsman website, or
• By email: [email protected]

However, please be aware that the Ombudsman will not normally become involved unless you have given us the opportunity to deal with your complaint through our own procedures in the first instance.

The LeO expects complaints to be made to them within six years from the date of the act/omission about which you are concerned, or three years from when you should have known about the complaint. The Legal Ombudsman will usually only consider a complaint if our internal complaints procedure has been exhausted within the last six months.

The Solicitors Regulation Authority can help you if you are concerned about our behaviour. This could include dishonesty, treating you unfairly because of your age , disability or other characteristics, taking our losing your money.
