Legal Ombudsman

I didn''t get a letter of engagement from him, neither did I receive a list of his fee''s. I have how ever spoken to a professional on here today, who has said they will help me to do the necessary. wish me luck. Thanks for your advice

Thanks for your shared experiences, it doesn''t leave us a lot of faith in our so called legal advisors though heh? I have to get my priorities right which I think is my divorce first, then I will think about the sol who has proved to be totally negligent in my book.Wish me luck! And thanks again.

There are time limits to your complaint - be aware.

To go to the legal ombudsman you must make your complaint first to the designated complaints handler (as Fiona said).

The ombudsman will only handle complaints that are made within 6 months of receiving a final decision from the solicitors firm AND within one year of when you reasonably first became aware there was a problem.

If you put this on a back burner for too long you may find you are not allowed to take your complaint further.

Oh right, Thanks for the tip, i''ll take this on board.
