Nic Gleason
I used Quinn Law Group for assistance with my legal dealings. The service they provide was second to none in particular Lee Quinn. Lee’s attention to detail helped me achieve a result beyond my expectations.
Matthew Selfe
I was truly getting distressed about a legal situation, felt unsure of my next move and that I was running out of time. Talking with James Treanor from the Quinn Law Group Gold Coast made me feel that at last someone knew how it all worked. From start to finish I found him to be professional and understanding, I couldn’t have been happier with the outcome or his support throughout.
Rhett Bryant
I couldn’t recommend Lee and QLG more highly. He helped us navigate a complicated immigration challenge involving a staff member from the US that we are sponsoring to live and work in Australia, and Lee was able to expertly advise and support us through this process. We received the email yesterday confirming the application was successful and are thrilled with the outcome and guidance along the way. Thank you, Lee!!!
Aaron StubbingsI had an excellent experience with Lee Quinn from Quinn Law Group during my Australian citizenship process. Lee was knowledgeable, efficient, and made complex procedures feel simple. He was attentive and genuinely cared about my case, leading to a successful outcome. I highly recommend Quinn Law Group for anyone needing reliable and effective legal assistance.

FAQs
Why use an administrative lawyer when making decisions?
For government and regulators, working with a specialised lawyer helps minimise future legal action and ensure decisions and procedures are properly documented. By making sound administrative decisions you reduce the risk of judicial review, tribunal reversals, and Ombudsman scrutiny.
When should a government body engage an administrative lawyer?
Government legal advice is usually required when implementing new legislation, making sensitive decisions, managing procedural fairness obligations, and developing decision-making frameworks and policies. It is also used for judicial reviews, objections, and responding to Ombudsman complaints or audits. The correct legal advice in these situations can prevent decisions being overturned or future litigation taking place.
How does a judicial review affect government bodies?
A judicial review scrutinises how a decision was made, not whether the decision itself was right. If the court finds that during the decision-making process a government body acted unlawfully, it may need to be remade. This type of review ensures government bodies make decisions in a lawful, fair, and transparent way.
What is a merits review?
In contrast to a judicial review, a merits review is where an independent tribunal re-examines a government decision. The purpose of this is to determine if the decision was preferable or correct. The reviewing body may consider existing and new evidence before affirming or replacing the decision with a new one. A merits review is often used to protect the rights and interests of the public, without the formality of court proceedings.
What do I get out of the free initial consultation?
During your initial consultation, an administrative lawyer will learn about your circumstances and what service you require. Once we have a clear understanding, we will tell you what the best next steps are and provide a quote for our services. You don’t pay for this consultation or have any obligation to Quinn Law Group. The goal is simply to give you clarity and get to know your case.
