Our Complaints Policy:
We are committed to providing a high-quality legal service to all our clients. When
something goes wrong, we need you to tell us about it. This will help us to improve our
standards. If you have a complaint, please contact us with the details.
What will happen next
- We aim to resolve your complaint within eight weeks of your notification. We will
send you a letter acknowledging receipt of your complaint within three days of
receiving it, enclosing a copy of this procedure.
- We will then investigate your complaint. This will normally involve passing your
complaint to our client care Principal, Mohamed Sourbah who will review your
matter file and speak to the member of staff who acted for you.
- Mohamed Sourbah will then invite you to a meeting to discuss and hopefully resolve
your complaint. He will do this within 14 days of sending you the acknowledgement
letter.
- Within three days of the meeting, Mohamed Sourbah will write to you to confirm
what took place and any solutions he has agreed with you.
- If you do not want a meeting or it is not possible, Mohamed Sourbah will send you a
detailed written reply to your complaint, including his suggestions for resolving the
matter, within 21 days of sending you the acknowledgement letter.
- At this stage, if you are still not satisfied, you should contact us again and we will
arrange for or someone unconnected with the matter at the firm to review the
decision.
- We will write to you within 14 days of receiving your request for a review,
confirming our final position on your complaint and explaining our reasons.
- If you are still not satisfied, you can then contact the Legal Ombudsman (LO) at PO
Box 6806, Wolverhampton WV1 9WJ about your complaint. You can also e-mail the
Legal Ombudsman (LO) at enquiries@legalombudsman.org.uk or telephone them on
0300 555 0333 or +44 121 245 3050 if calling from overseas. For further
information, please access the Legal Ombudsman (LO)'s website:
www.legalombudsman.org.uk.
- Please note that the time limit for complaint to the LO is within one year from the
act/omission or one year from realising the cause of complaint. Any complaint to the
Legal Ombudsman (LO) must usually be made within six months of the date of our
final decision on your complaint.
If we have to change any of the timescales above, we will let you know and explain why.
