if something which breach your confidence, then by all means complain to the firm first. You must follow procedure, if this is not resolved you try the law society who may in turn give the complaint to the office for the supervision of solicitors.
If you have suffered no loss, then you have no claim!

If the solicitor has rendered an account (ie sent out a bill) for services provided, the client is obliged to pay. However, if a client is not happy with the service they have received or if the solicitor did not explain his charging rate, the client should write to the solicitor firstly asking for an explanation for the bill. Every solicitor should have a 'complaints' procedure and this should have been outlined to the client with the billing rates from the start. If you have a complaint against a solicitor, look at the Law Society web site which contains useful information. Solicitors are now regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. If a bill is not paid, a solicitor may issued proceedings in the county court for the recovery of the monies outstanding. This is not something a solicitor would enjoy doing - its much better for the client to contact the solicitor and perhaps come to an arrangement to pay by instalments? If the client waits for the court proceedings - the amount outstanding will increase to include interest and court costs.

Most solicitors won't deal with that type of case but you do not say where you are?
If you're in the West Midlands try Tyndallwoods in the City centre, but the above are right you probably would be better phoning the law society.
Whatever you decide to do Good Luck.

Give up, it is likely to be a lost cause. Complain to the Law Society instead.
One option would be to carry out a minor assault on him and once in the Magistrates Court, you will have a platform to say all you wish with impunity. A telephone call to the local paper may ensure that the story is reported.

You would have great difficulty in proving slander unless you have some evidence of that i.e a tape cassette or witnesses, unless of course you mean libel which is a different ball game, good luck
