F.A.Q
What is your complaint's policy
Complaints policy
We are committed to providing high quality legal advice and client care. However, if at any point you become unhappy or concerned about the service provided, please inform us immediately so that we can do our best to resolve the problem.
Formal complaint procedure
The following outlines our recommended procedure for making a formal complaint. Please note that making a complaint will not affect how we handle your case.
A formal complaint should be addressed to our head of practice Natasha Kirsten who can be contacted in writing at 29 Clover Drive, Pickmere, Cheshire, WA16 OWF or by email natashak@lawternative.co.uk. Please set out the details of the complaint.
We will acknowledge your complaint within seven working days of receipt.
Our head of practice will conduct a thorough investigation of your complaint.
Where reasonably possible you will receive a written response to your complaint within 14 days from the date the complaint is first received. This response will set out the result of our investigation, any proposed resolution and, if relevant, any procedural changes we will make to ensure the situation does not arise again. Where this is not reasonably possible, we will write to you and explain why it cannot be completed within 14 days and when the complaint will be finalised. This extra time will be limited to 8 weeks as a maximum.
Taking the complaint further
We are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and complaints and redress mechanisms are provided through them and the Legal Ombudsman.
If we are unable to resolve any such concerns to your satisfaction you are entitled to make a complaint to the Legal Ombudsman.
The Legal Ombudsman investigates complaints about service issues with lawyers. They expect complaints to be made to them within one year of the date of the act or omission about which you are concerned, or within one year of you realising there was a concern. You must also refer your concerns to the Legal Ombudsman within six months of our final response to you.
The Legal Ombudsman may consider complaints made after these deadlines if it is fair and reasonable for them to do so. They may decide not to pursue a complaint if:
there was no significant loss, distress, inconvenience, or detriment;
the size or complexity of the complaint, or your behaviour, results in the complaint requiring a disproportionate use of resources;
there has been undue delay in bringing the complaint;
you have already accepted a reasonable offer we made.
