Normally, you will need to bring a complaint to the Legal Ombudsman within six months of receiving a final written response from us about 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 you should reasonably have known that there was a cause for complaint.

The Legal Ombudsman service considers complaints about the quality of legal services that clients receive. In the unlikely event that you have concerns about a solicitor’s conduct, it may be appropriate for you to contact the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA – Telephone: 0370 606 2555 Website: sra.org.uk – or write to them at The Cube, 199 Wharfside Street, Birmingham B1 1RN).  We do not anticipate any such problems arising and would ask that you notify Stephen Phillips straight away if you have any such concerns.
