Our complaints procedure
Our aim is to always provide high quality legal advice and client care. Therefore, if you are unhappy with any aspect of our service, we need you to tell us. Complaints should be directed to Ann McCabe.
We will then do our best to resolve any issues, dealing with your complaint promptly and fairly. You can contact us in writing (by letter or email) or by telephone. Contact Ann McCabe by email: ann@annmccabe.co.uk or by phoning the Newcastle Under Lyme Office on 01782 627589.
If you are unhappy with our charges, you may be entitled to apply to Court for an assessment of the bill. However, if all or part of the bill remains unpaid, we are entitled to charge interest in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
What to do if we cannot resolve your complaint
We have eight weeks to consider your complaint. If we have not resolved it to your satisfaction within this time you may complain to the Legal Ombudsman.
A complaint to the Legal Ombudsman must be made:
- Within six months of receiving our final response to your complaint and
- No more than one year from the date of the act or omission being complained about; or
- No more than one year from the date when you should reasonably know that there was cause for complaint
