Whilst we always strive to provide an excellent quality and professional approach in all that we do at KDL Law mistakes will happen from time to time.  If therefore you are ever unhappy with the work that we have undertaken in a matter then it is important that we hear from you at an early stage in order that your concerns can be addressed fully and correctly.

If you wish to make a formal complaint then please see at the links below our full complaints procedure. Making a complaint will not affect how we deal with any matter that we are currently dealing with for you.

There are two procedures applicable if you are unhappy with any aspect of our work, that which applies to clients of the firm and that which applies to parties who are not our client.
