FAQs
Can I apply for Legal Aid?
Yes. Quinn Law Group is a preferred supplier as legal aid for both Queensland and New South Wales.
How much does it cost for a lawyer?
This can vary greatly depending on the types of charges, and which court the matter must be heard in (such as Magistrates, District or Supreme Court). We can sit down with you and explain the cost during your free initial consultation. *
*Please note that initial consultations for immigration (visas, sponsorship, citizenship, and residency) have a fee of $220.
Do I have to appear in Court?
This depends on your situation. Usually if you have been given a notice to appear or summons, you will need to appear in court, and we will be by your side. If the matter is adjourned, then a lawyer from our firm will appear on your behalf on the next Court date.
Can I book an in-person appointment?
Yes. Call us on (07) 5511 2714 to arrange a time to meet in our Gold Coast office or for us to come to you in certain cases.
How much does an initial consultation cost?
Where are you located?
We are located on the Gold Coast, however we also travel to represent clients throughout Queensland and Northern New South Wales.
Do I have to let the police search my car or house?
If police have a warrant, then they have the power to search your vehicle or home. Depending on the circumstances, police can also search without a warrant.
It is advised to inform an officer without a warrant that you object to the search and do not give them permission, but do not stop/obstruct police as you may commit an offence.
Your lawyer can look at searches without a warrant to see if this was done lawfully. We can identify if it is a question of law that will be dealt with in submissions to police prosecutions or determined by a Magistrate or Judge.
Do I have to give the police my pin to my phone/computer/electronic device?
I have been given a notice by the police to have my photograph and fingerprints taken, but I have already done this when I was arrested last time, do I have to do it again?
The short answer is, yes. It is a lawful requirement if issued with a notice for identifying particulars that you present to a police station in the required time.
What happens if the police charge me with an offence, but I didn’t commit it?
It is important that you seek legal advice from a qualified lawyer. You will need to advise your lawyer of your concerns and why you did not commit the offence. This will allow the lawyer to make a submission to police prosecutions as to why the charge should be withdrawn. Time can be of the essence in these matters so the sooner you speak to your lawyer, the better.
Police want me to come to the police station to be questioned about an offence, do I have to attend?
No, there is no requirement on you to speak to police if they want to question you. It is best that you contact a lawyer as soon as possible.
I separated from my partner some time ago and we never divided our property. Can we do this anytime?
Once you have divorced you have 1 year to file for a property settlement or spousal maintenance. For Defacto relationships you have 2 years from time of separation.
We always advise to settle your property matter as soon as you can and not to leave it too long or you risk not meeting the statutory time frames. If you are married, you can settle any time before your divorce.
We recommend seeking legal advice to make sure you meet the time limits.
I have been served court documents "initiating application" in the Family Law courts. What should I do?
If you have been served court documents, you should seek legal advice immediately. You have 28 days to file a response to an initiating application. Failure to meet these time frames may result in orders being made without you having the opportunity to defend them.
My partner is selling our assets and we have not reached an agreement on who keeps what. What can I do?
If you suspect your ex-spouse is selling or getting rid of assets you need to take immediate action. You may have to file court proceedings and seek an injunction to stop things being sold or freeze banks accounts to stop money from being spent.
My partner said they are going to take half my house and superannuation. What can I do?
There is no 50:50 rule in Australia, which means no automatic entitlement to half your house or property.
There are a number of factors which must be considered in this situation. Initial contributions, contributions during the relationship, health of the parties, age and future needs factors are some things which will be taken into consideration. Each matter is based on its own merits and must be fair and just.
My partner took the kids and moved states without consulting me. What can I do?
If an ex-spouse unilaterally relocates with the children, seek immediate legal advice on filing an urgent application for recovery orders. These types of proceedings are complex and require a large amount of resources and work to bring the matter before the courts, particularly in circumstances where Domestic Violence is a factor and the children are at risk of family violence.
I was charged with a drink driving offence on my boat, but my driver’s licence has been suspended, what can I do?
If this is the case, speak with a qualified lawyer to have your ability to drive a motor vehicle reinstated. Driving a boat with alcohol in your system differs from driving a motor vehicle with alcohol in your system.
Can I be charged with drug driving if I have a prescription for medical cannabis?
Yes. The law states you must not drive with a relevant drug present in saliva. This includes medical cannabis even if you have a subscription.
