How can I complain about my lawyer?

If you feel your lawyer isn’t representing you properly or have another complaint you need to discuss this issue with the lawyer and then with the “client relations manager” in that law firm. If this doesn’t settle your complaint, you should contact the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission (SLCC). See their web site and also their booklet on family law complaints . The SLCC may pass some or all of the complaint on to the Law Society of Scotland to deal with “conduct” issues.

With your help we can continue to provide support and encouragement to separating parents across Scotland.
