Complaints

At JKC Lawyers we strive for excellence by providing clear and accurate legal services in a timely manner. We also pride ourselves on being helpful, friendly, and approachable. Client satisfaction is our priority, and we want the service you receive to reflect these principles. That is why we welcome hearing from you if you ever believe that our service has fallen short of these objectives. We know it can often be awkward raising a complaint, but we will not be offended if you do so. If at any point you become unhappy or concerned about the service we have provided then you should inform us immediately, so that we can do our best to resolve the problem.

In the first instance, it may be helpful to contact the person who is working on your case to discuss your concerns and we will do our best to resolve any issues at this stage. Should this not prove effective or if you would rather not discuss your concerns with the person dealing with your case, please contact our complaints handler Sherry Thakur or our Miraj Shah on 01923-234-400 and they will provide you with our complaint’s procedure.  

We are permitted a period of eight weeks to consider the complaint. If for any reason we are unable to resolve the problem between us within that timeframe, then you may ask the Legal Ombudsman to consider the complaint.

The legal ombudsman service can help you if we are unable to resolve your complaint ourselves. They will look at your complaint independently.

You are free to refer any complaint about our work, fees or level of service but there are some conditions and time limits. Please be aware that any complaint to the Legal Ombudsman must usually be made within six months of you having received a final written response from us about your complaint. Complaints to the Legal Ombudsman must usually be made within one year of the act or omission about which you are complaining occurring; or within one year from when you should have known about or become aware that there were grounds for complaint.

The Legal Ombudsman’s contact details are:-
