How WE WILL DEAL WITH YOUR COMPLAINT 

We want to give you the best possible service. However, if at any point you become unhappy or concerned about the service we have provided then we would encourage you to inform us immediately, so that we can do our best to resolve the problem.
 

In the first instance, it may be helpful to contact an advisor who is working on your case to discuss your concerns and we will do our best to resolve any issues. If you still have queries or concerns, please contact Hannah Sampson, Director to hannah@sampsonbaileysolicitors.co.uk or by telephone on 0207 411 9822. Your right to complain might relate to the way in which your matter is being handled or the fee we are seeking from you. 

For further information or if you want to make a formal complaint, then you can read our full complaints procedure 
here. In our procedure, we explain how we will handle a formal complaint. We also explain the role of the Legal Ombudsman and the Solicitors Regulation Authority and provide useful contact details so that you can be properly aware of your rights and the options available to you. 
 

What to do if we cannot resolve your complaint
 

The Legal Ombudsman can help you if we are unable to resolve your complaint ourselves. They will look at your complaint independently and it will not affect how we handle your case.
 

Before accepting a complaint for investigation, the Legal Ombudsman will check that you have tried to resolve your complaint with us first. If you have, then you must take your complaint to the Legal Ombudsman:
 

  • Within six months of receiving a final response to your complaint and

  • No more than six years from the date of act/omission; or

  • No more than three years from when you should reasonably have known there was cause for complaint.
     

If you would like more information about the Legal Ombudsman, please contact them.
