Maybe someone on the forum could help me with this problem?

 

PLEASE! keep it sensible (if possible)

 

I have a injury claim going on and its been going on for over 2 years. I wont go into details but it happened at work and my former employers have addmitted fault. My solicitors were great and for almost two years kept me informed of what was going on quite regularly, until....December 2005. they changed my solicitor and she (the new one) will not return my calls I have spoken to her and she is quite abrupt and dosent seem to have a clue as to who I am or whats going on with my case. I phoned her up after having an appointment with a private consultant and she didnt reutrn my call. I phoned again and she still didnt so I rang up and said I was very upset. The receptionist told me she had been on holidays and she would get her to ring me. Still no call so I rang again. The same answer I"I will get her to ring" she still hasnt rung. I have now written an EMail to the boss of the firm and he hasnt answered either. I have just about had enough.

 

Does anyone know if I can contact any governing body and complain about my solicitors or will it only make things worse?

 

Thanks Vini

I think the only place you can do this is the Law Society mate.

just change your solicitor mate. important thing is to sort your claim out, making a complaint will only take your time, and nothing will come of it for her ot you for that matter.

 

just move to a firm that you can trust

Hey Vini

 

The LAw Society are their governing body. They do have a website somewhere....

 

However before you contact them you should really contact a partner in the practice to complain about the woman not responding to your calls.

 

Give the firm the chance to sort things out internally before getting the Law Society involved.

 

Richard :smw:

Change solicitors.

 

If they are not able to returne calls you cant be expected to have faith in them to handle your case fully.

Thanks chaps. I am going to give them at least another week to sort them selves out. Then I might try to take it up with the law society? I aint worried about when I am I getting the money that will come when it does. But I need to know whats going on dont I? Thanks for the advice. I will keep you posted.
