If you have any concern or query regarding your case or the way in which it is being handled, please raise this with the lawyer handling your matter. If, however, after speaking to them there is still any cause for dissatisfaction including a complaint in relation to your bill, you should contact Katharine Rhodes. A copy of our complaints procedure will be provided upon request but can be read here. If 8 weeks after contacting Katharine Rhodes you are not satisfied that your complaint has been adequately resolved, you may apply to The Legal Ombudsman.
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.
The Legal Ombudsman expects 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.
