Our Complaints Procedure

We are committed to providing you with the highest quality legal service. Learn how we handle any concerns you may have.

We are committed to providing a high-quality legal service. However, we recognise that sometimes things can go wrong, and we want to know when they do so we can put them right. This page sets out our complaints procedure in accordance with the requirements of the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA).

If you are unhappy with any aspect of the service you have received, please contact us as soon as possible so that we can address your concerns.

How to Make a Complaint

In the first instance, please contact the person handling your matter to discuss your concerns. If you would prefer to make a formal written complaint, please send your complaint to:

Mr. Gias Uddin (Partner)

Woolfe & Co Solicitors 

16 Titan Ct

Laporte Way, Maidenhall

Luton LU4 8EF

Alternatively, you can contact us by telephone on 01582 380 938 or email at [email protected].

Making a complaint will not affect how we handle your case. We are required by the SRA to ensure that raising a complaint does not adversely affect the standard of service we provide to you.

Our Complaints Procedure

Upon receiving your complaint, we will:

  • Acknowledge your complaint in writing within three working days
  • Investigate the matters raised and provide a detailed written response
  • Aim to resolve your complaint within eight weeks of receipt

If we are unable to resolve your complaint within eight weeks, we will write to you explaining the reasons for the delay and when you can expect a full response.

If We Cannot Resolve Your Complaint

If we are unable to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, you may contact the Legal Ombudsman. The Legal Ombudsman is an independent body that handles complaints about legal services. They can help resolve disputes between solicitors and their clients.

Important time limits: You must usually refer your complaint to the Legal Ombudsman within:

  • Six months of receiving our final written response to your complaint; and
  • One year from the act or omission that caused you problems; or one year from when you should reasonably have known there was a cause for complaint.

Examples of concerns the SRA can help with include: dishonesty, theft or loss of client money, discrimination, unfair treatment due to a protected characteristic, and serious breaches of the SRA Code of Conduct.
