Your Legal Rights

We strive to provide the best possible legal service. If you become unhappy or concerned about the service you receive 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 can read our full complaints procedure here. Making a complaint will not affect how we handle your case.

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. Please visit the SRA’s website (sra.org.uk) if you wish to know more about the SRA’s Principles which Cook Legal must observe at all times.

Please visit the SRA website or telephone the SRA (0370 606 2555) if you have any concerns regarding Cook Legal or wish to report any breach of the SRA’s Principles to the SRA.

What do to if we cannot resolve your complaint

The Legal Ombudsman can help you if we are unable to resolve your complaint. 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.
