Here at Hampson Hughes Solicitors, we want to provide you with the best possible service. However, if at any point you become unhappy with the service you have received, or if you have any concerns regarding your bill, please inform us immediately so that we can do our best to resolve any issues for you.

Hampson Hughes Solicitors has a procedure in place which details how we handle complaints. This is available upon request, simply contact our Compliance Department – email Lorraine Harrison at or call 0151 236 1222. We have 8 weeks to consider your complaint.

If we are unable to help you, you have the option to send your complaint for independent review by the Legal Ombudsman.

If you wish to refer your complaint to the Legal Ombudsman this must be done within six months of our final response to your complaint.
