Complaints Procedure

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 then you should inform us immediately, so that we can do our best to resolve the problem.

Whenever a new matter is opened you will be sent a “client care letter”. This standard letter informs you that should you have a complaint about our work you should raise the matter firstly with the fee earner dealing with their matter, who will do their best to resolve any issues. If you are not satisfied you should contact to Mr Mohammad Farooq, the complaints handling Partner who will deal with your complaint normally within two working days.

Mr Christopher Aniche will investigate the complaint and investigate it fully. You will be given a copy of the firm’s internal complaints leaflet. An appointment will then be made to discuss the matter face to face.

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

WHAT TO DO IF WE CANNOT RESOLVE YOUR COMPLAINT

The Legal Ombudsman can 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 a final response to your complaint and
  • No more than six years from the date of act/omission; or
  • 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 them.
