Complaints

We want to give you the best possible service. However, 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. If you would like to make a formal complaint, then you must put this in writing to Eden Legal Services, West Midlands House, Gipsy Lane, Willenhall WV13 2HA.

Making a complaint will not affect how we handle your case.

Your complaint will be investigated and you will then be invited to a meeting (in person or by telephone) to discuss and hopefully resolve the complaint. You will then receive a letter outlining what took place and any solutions agreed.

If you are still not satisfied you can request a review of the decision.

Following the review, you will then receive our final position on your complaint. If you would like a detailed copy of our Complaints Process, please request the same via admin@edenlegalservices.co.uk.

The Solicitors Regulation Authority can help you if you are concerned about our behaviour. This could be for things like dishonesty, taking or losing your money or treating you unfairly because of your age, a disability or other characteristic.

You can raise your concerns with the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

What do to if we cannot resolve your complaint

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:

  • Within six months of receiving a final response to your complaint

and

  • No more than six years from the date of act/omission; or
  • No more than three years from when you should reasonably have known there was cause for complaint.

If you would like more information about the Legal Ombudsman, please contact them.
