Problems with a solicitor
Our role is to regulate solicitors and their practices in the public interest.
In this section of the site, you will find information on
- how to report a solicitor,
- what to do if your solicitor has closed down unexpectedly,
- what to do if you believe a solicitor owes you money,
- how to recognise fraud and dishonesty, and
- what to do if you believe your solicitor is dishonest.
If you want to report a solicitor, contact the Legal Complaints Service (LCS).
The LCS acts as a point of entry for reports about solicitors. If the LCS thinks we need to investigate your solicitor, they will refer the information to us.
If you report a solicitor who has not acted for you, the LCS will send your report directly to us.
