What to do if you have a complaint
Keystone Law is committed to providing a high-quality legal service to all our clients. When something goes wrong, we need to address the problem and your concerns.
In the first instance it may be helpful to contact the member(s) of the firm acting for you. Naturally they will do their best to resolve any issues.
If you wish to make a formal complaint, then you may do so in accordance with our Complaints Policy. Making a complaint will not affect our instructions and the services we provide to you, though it may cause a conflict. This is explained in our Complaints Policy.
This firm and all the solicitors in it are regulated by the Law Society of Northern Ireland and, in some respects, also by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. If your concern relates to compliance with our professional rules, then you can still ask us to address this directly or through our Complaints Policy. In the alternative, you are entitled to raise your concerns with the Law Society of Northern Ireland, or, where applicable, the Solicitors Regulation Authority directly.
What do to if we cannot resolve your complaint
We will deal with your complaint in accordance with our Complaints Policy. Usually this will involve our investigating your complaint and our issuing you with our findings in the form of a complaint determination letter. This will contain the results of our investigation and explain what further steps you can take. If we don’t do this, or if we do but not to your satisfaction, then you may approach the Law Society of Northern Ireland within 6 months of receiving our complaint determination letter or if we fail to respond to you, within 28 days of our receipt of your complaint.
