Gather your evidence

Write a formal complaint
Send a clear, factual complaint to DWF Law. Include your account/reference number, a timeline of events, what went wrong, and what you want them to do about it. Email: complaints@dwf.law
Set a deadline
Give DWF Law 14 days to respond to your initial complaint. If they don't respond, send a follow-up referencing your original complaint and requesting a response within 7 days.
Escalate if needed
If DWF Law hasn't resolved your complaint within 8 weeks (or has sent a final response you disagree with), escalate to the Legal Ombudsman.
Consider further action
If ombudsman resolution isn't satisfactory, you may have the option of taking your case to the Small Claims Court for disputes up to £10,000.
