Legal Clarity is committed to providing high-quality legal services to all our clients. If you are unhappy and have a complaint about any aspect of our service, then please let us know. We have eight weeks to consider your complaint. If we have not resolved it within this time, you may complain to the Legal Ombudsman.

If we do not provide a final written response, which includes information about how to raise a complaint with the Legal Ombudsman, the Legal Ombudsman scheme rules say that they can look at complaints if:
• It happened within six years of the problem happening;
• It happened within three years from when you found out about it.
