The Legal Ombudsman is an independent organization in the United Kingdom that helps resolve complaints about legal services. It provides a fair and impartial process for individuals who are dissatisfied with the service they received from their solicitors, barristers, or other legal professionals. The Ombudsman investigates complaints and can recommend remedies, such as refunds or compensation. Established in 2010, the Legal Ombudsman aims to improve the quality of legal services by addressing issues and promoting better practices within the legal profession. It is funded by the legal profession itself, ensuring that its services are free for consumers.
