Your case or transaction will not be prejudiced by you raising concerns either. We hope you will not have any reason to complain, but in case you do, you should follow the procedure below.<\/p>\n<p>The time limits for bringing a complaint to our attention are set out in our Terms and Conditions of Business, namely within six months of the end of the matter on which you instructed us, or within three months of you becoming aware of the circumstances giving rise to your complaint, whichever is the later. If you wish to complain about our service after the expiry of these time limits you may still be able to make a complaint directly to the Legal Ombudsman, but we will not be obliged in those circumstances to consider your complaint under this procedure and you should contact the Legal Ombudsman to establish whether your complaint falls within the scope and time limits of the Ombudsman\u2019s scheme.\u00a0 Ordinarily, the time limit for making a complaint to the Legal Ombudsman is one year from the act or omission complained of, or one year from when you should reasonably have known there was cause for complaint.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><u>First stage<\/u><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>In the first instance, please raise your concerns directly with the person dealing with your case or transaction by email, post or over the phone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #666677; font-family: arial, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/span><u>Second stage<\/u><\/h4>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>If you feel that it is too delicate for you to raise this directly with them, or they have not addressed all your concerns to your satisfaction, you should raise your concerns\u00a0with the Principal\/Complaints Officer\/Compliance Officer of the firm\u00a0Roseline Obi using the firm&#8217;s email:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:info@mirachsolicitors.com\" data-linkindex=\"1\">info@mirachsolicitors.com<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>When you do so, please set out as much detail as possible regarding your complaint.
