Complaints
​
David Wilson Solicitors is committed to providing high quality legal advice and client care. However, in the event that there are any difficulties, then you are entitled to complain and your complaint could also include a complaint about the bill of costs. This firm does have a complaints procedure, a copy of which is available on request. We normally have eight weeks in which to resolve any complaint to your satisfaction.
​
At the conclusion of the firm’s complaints process, if you remain dissatisfied, then you have a right to complain to the Legal Ombudsman, usually within 6 months of the above eight week period, who can be contacted on 0300 555 0333 or by e mail enquiries@legalombudsman.org.uk or you can write to Legal Ombudsman, PO Box 6167, Slough, SL1 0EH or visit the website: www.legalombudsman.org.uk There are exceptions to the eight week period and the 6 month period mentioned above, details of which can be found on the Legal Ombudsman’s website. Further, whilst individual clients have the right to have recourse to the Legal Ombudsman, certain other types of client (for example personal representatives) might not – and similarly details regarding the eligibility criteria can be found on the Legal Ombudsman’s website.
​
The Legal Ombudsman ordinarily cannot accept a complaint if more than one year has passed since the act or omission complained of, or (if the act or omission is more than one year old) more than one year has passed from when you should reasonably have known that there were grounds for complaint.
