We are committed to providing the highest quality service to our clients. If at any time you feel that this is not the case, we want to know so that we can do our best to resolve the problem.

If you have a complaint, please contact Krishna Kotecha our Complaints Handling Partner.  You can write to her at MDS, 11 De Montfort Street or call on 0116 2547456 or email enquiries@moosaduke.com  

What will happen next?


We will write to you to acknowledge receipt of your complaint within 10 working days.

We will also advise you as to who will be investigating your complaint, the likely length of time it will take to investigate the matter(s) you have raised and when we are likely to be in a position to respond fully. This will not be longer than 8 weeks from the date of the complaint.

We will review your case and, where required, speak with the person who acted for you.

The Complaints Handling Partner will arrange to speak to you by telephone or arrange a meeting to discuss your complaint and how it can be resolved

Where the matter has been resolved the Complaints Handling Partner will notify you in writing.

Where the matter is not resolved satisfactorily you will be informed of your right to contact the Legal Ombudsman who will look at your complaint independently and which will not affect how we handle your matter.
