Subject: Re: Your e-mail (complaint about a duty solicitor)
Hi,
well I’ve sent both of the resolution-form complaints to the law-firms.
So I have certainly contacted both law-firms regarding the complaints.
Like I’ve also explaned in earlier e-mail to yourself.
I’m not sure if I think it’s to much to ask, to get some more information
about
the general complaint process surounding duty solicitor cases, involving
unprofessional conduct from law-firms.
As I would suspect that information surrounding the complaint-process,
should
be puplicly known.
You told me to send you the e-mails if I had recieved legal aid founding.
I told you that I hadn’t received any legal aid founding as of yet, but that
I
was still wondering how to forward with the complaints.
And this I haven’t recieved any answer to.
I think members of the puclic should be allowed to get information about the
duty
solicitor complaint process, so thats why I’m asking about this again.
About where I can find general information about the duty solicitors
complaint
process, in cases like the ones I’ve mentioned.
So I hope it’s possible for you to tell me this.
Thank you very much in advance for your help!
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribssskog
