The SLCC ARE NOT the impartial independent organisation that they claim to be.
How can they be , when the SLCC is funded by levies from lawyer's firms.
Is that not a major conflict of interest ?
My experience clearly showed that the whole complaint process is a sham and the organisation is , in my opinion, both protectionist and incompetent .
Not fit for purpose and as one reviewer said
":A complete waste of my time "
I would actually go as far to say the behaviour of the SLCC in dealing with my complaint was downright dishonest as the SLCC , did not rule against a company that STOLE money
from my mother's estate by charging for work either not carried out or charging a second time for work already carried out by my family lawyer ( who worked for MHD Law as a partner before GILSON GRAY bought his practice.)
I doubt if anyone from SLCC will read this review but if by some remote chance someone does...you guys and gals should take a good long hard look at yourselves.
When my lawyer asked for evidence / reasons for the charging he was told that would not be allowed , as that was not part of the process
Transparency ? What a bloody joke.
Maybe someone from SLCC will contact me after my damning review !
I would like them to but I very much doubt that will ever happen

The Scottish Legal Complaints Commission (SLCC) is an independent statutory body providing a single point of contact for all complaints against lawyers operating in Scotland. We manage complaints that relate to the service provided by lawyers – offering resolution and providing redress where appropriate We refer complaints about the personal conduct of lawyers to the ‘relevant professional organisation’ (e.g. the Law Society of Scotland, the Faculty of Advocates). We give advice on complaints to all parties and issue guidance and encourage best practice in complaint handling and issues that lead to complaints. We monitor practice and publish trend reports – to help ensure the sector learns from complaints made.See more
