Sir, - Question: How many members of the Law Society does it take to change a light bulb? Answer: None! They will find nothing unsatisfactory with the conduct of the old light bulb and "no reason to proceed further in this matter".
Each year many people complain to the Law Society about the way they are treated by their solicitors. But the number of complaints upheld is tiny. Suspiciously tiny! Perhaps that's because of the nature of the Law Society itself. Imagine a body of solicitors dealing with matters that affect the reputation of the legal profession!
A solicitors' trade union deciding on complaints against solicitors is like the SS presiding over the hearings at Nuremberg. - Yours, etc.,
