Complaints

As we are committed to providing you with a high quality service that is both efficient and effective, complaints are thankfully few and far between. However, should there be any cause for complaint in relation to any aspect of our service, please bring it to our attention without delay and we can then take the appropriate action.

Once we have received your complaint, Nicholas Wykeham will write to you within 7 days to explain how your complaint will be investigated if a complete response to your complaint has not been made by that time. You will be told the latest date by which a complete answer will be given to your complaint (this should be not more than 28 days after we receive your complaint). If you have made the complaint verbally, either at a meeting or on the telephone, we will set out in our full response our understanding of the nature of your complaint.

If after following the review process set out above, you remain dissatisfied with any aspect of our handling of your complaint, you may contact direct the Legal Ombudsman’s office to ask them to consider the complaint further. The Legal Ombudsman’s details are as follows:-
