Re: Ongoing problem with Socicitor. How do I contact Law Society? How do you find process

STEPS TO TAKE IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE A COMPLAINT
The Society suggests that you take the following steps:
1. Write to the solicitor explaining your dissatisfaction and allow a reasonable time for the solicitor to reply. Send a copy of this letter to the Senior Partner (if there is one) of the firm in question, if relevant.
2. If you do not get satisfaction, consider carefully whether the Society could deal with your complaint (see section Complaints the Society can investigate). If your dissatisfaction is one which you feel should be the subject of a complaint to the Society then write to the Complaints and Client Relations section of the Society. It is helpful if you can set out in a concise manner the basis of your complaint with the name and address of the solicitor. If you have more than one complaint you should list them in a 1, 2, 3 etc. format for ease of investigation. Please note that new complaints will not be entertained once the investigation has started. Your complaint will then be forwarded to your solicitor and an explanation sought. Please note that complaints are dealt with by written correspondence.
3. If, in the first instance, you do not wish your complaint to be made known to the solicitor or if you wish to be advised as to the manner in which you should formulate your complaint, you should indicate clearly in your letter to the Complaints and Client Relations section, that you do not wish your correspondence to be forwarded to the solicitor until you give permission. The details of your complaint will be treated in full confidence by the Society.
4. The Society will keep you informed during our investigation and will contact you to let you know the outcome of your complaint i.e. whether the solicitor’s explanation is satisfactory, whether the solicitor will be required to take action to remedy the situation or whether the matter has been referred to the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal.
There is more information on the website. In my experience, it may be a slow process but it is very effective.
