Client clause wording
Your request for a transfer of solicitor has been refused. There is no solicitor of choice in any area of law and Legal Aid Queensland does not normally allow a transfer of solicitor unless there are exceptional circumstances. Exceptional circumstances usually only includes matters where there is a legal conflict of interest between you and your solicitor. A transfer of solicitor is not approved where you have withdrawn instructions or where you make it impossible for the solicitor to continue with representation. This office does not consider that there are exceptional circumstances warranting a transfer of solicitor in this matter. If you do not agree with this decision, you can request a review by a senior grants officer by writing to us explaining why you believe the decision is wrong and providing any additional information you wish us to consider by <!letter_sent_date*29 days*!>.
