14Notwithstanding the Lawyer’s withdrawal, the Client will have to make that request
in writing to the LAO Area Office. The Area Director will only grant a change of
solicitor in very unusual and extreme circumstances. Thus, the Client acknowledges
that LAO may not grant the client’s request to transfer his or her Certificate to
another lawyer and may have to continue with the litigation as a self-represented
party.
At the termination of services under this agreement, the Lawyer will release
promptly to the Client upon the Clients request, all of the Client’s papers and
property.
Finally, in the event that the Client’s Legal Aid certificate is cancelled it is understood
that the client will take steps to either reinstate the certificate or sign a Notice of
Change in Representation indicating that the client has become self-represented. In the
event that the client is unable to reinstate their Legal Aid Certificate or no longer
qualifies for Legal Aid, the Client is free to consult Shawyer Family Law with respect
to the possibility of retaining their firm privately.
