SPECIALISING IN YOUTHS

Representing young people requires sensitivity and specialist knowledge. Our Solicitors understand the powers of the Police and Courts in relation to Youths and can advocate for the best result.

PROTECTING FUTURE PROSPECTS

A conviction or caution as a youth can blight future prospects. A young person's reputation is important and needs to be protected and we have expert lawyers to do that.

Specialists in vulnerable clients

Young people, and in particular those with learning difficulties or mental health issues, should be represented by a solicitor. We will stand beside them to ensure that they are not being taken advantage of and to make sure that their disabilities are taken into account.

Access to psychiatric experts

We have unrivaled expertise in Sussex in representing vulnerable young clients. We have access to leading child psychiatrists and psychologists whose evidence can be essential in court.

Complaints

We want to give you the best possible service. However, if at any point you become unhappy or concerned about the service, we have provided then you should inform us immediately, so that we can do our best to resolve the problem.

In the first instance it may be helpful to contact the person who is working on your case to discuss your concerns and we will do our best to resolve any issues. If you would like to make a formal complaint, then you can read our full complaints procedure here.

Making a complaint will not affect how we handle your case.

What to do if we cannot resolve your complaint

The Legal Ombudsman can help you if we are unable to resolve your complaint ourselves. They will look at your complaint independently and it will not affect how we handle your case.

Before accepting a complaint for investigation, the Legal Ombudsman will check that you have tried to resolve your complaint with us first. If you have, then you must take your complaint to the Legal Ombudsman:

A change to the time limits from 1 April 2023, the time limits for referring a complaint to the Legal Ombudsman will be no later than:

• one year from the date of the act or omission being complained about; or

• one year from the date when the complainant should have realised that there was cause for complaint.

If you would like more information about the Legal Ombudsman, please contact them.
