The new Code of Conduct for Solicitors came into force on the 1st July 2007 and sets out the duties of solicitors which are:-

• Upholding justice and the rule of law.
• Integrity.
• Independence.
• Acting in the best interests of clients .
• Providing good standards of service to clients.
• Not to behave in a way which diminishes public confidence in the profession.

Central to this code is to provide high standards of service to clients whilst acting in their best interests.

We believe that the majority of solicitors perform their duties to the same high standards that we do. Unfortunately, we are sometimes asked to take on cases on behalf of clients who think that their personal injury claim has been badly handled by their solicitor and have suffered loss as a result.

You should seek advice as soon as possible if you consider your claim has been harmed for one or more of the following reasons:-

• Failure to issue or serve proceedings.
• Non-compliance.
• Suing the wrong defendant.
• Undersettling the claim.
• Failure to consider; future/past earnings; disadvantage in the job market; all financial losses arising from the accident.

Macks Solicitors are one of the few law firms who have the expertise, or willingness, to sue negligent personal injury solicitors and will give you the best possible advice as to how to seek justice and/or compensation. If you believe your personal injury claim has been handled negligently by your solicitor call us on Freephone 0800 980 9398 and we will advise you, without obligation, as to whether you have a valid claim.
