In short
Coastside Law is a Queensland law firm at 40 Theresa Street, Golden Beach QLD 4551, with a second office at 15 Fortune Street, Scarborough QLD 4020. Its lawyers are members of the Queensland Law Society, the professional body for solicitors in Queensland, and are admitted as solicitors of the Supreme Court of Queensland. Legal Practice Director Michael Klein was admitted in 2003 and is admitted to both the High Court of Australia and the Supreme Court of Queensland; solicitor Erin Wilkinson was admitted to the Supreme Court of Queensland in 2025 after years working as a conveyancer across South East Queensland. That matters because in Queensland a will, an enduring power of attorney, a probate application and legal advice on a contract are legal work reserved for admitted solicitors — a licensed conveyancer or an online will service cannot give it. The firm practises in conveyancing and property, wills and estates, probate, elder law and business and commercial law, on fixed fees agreed before work starts. Call 0488 340 853 (Erin Wilkinson) or 0419 000 884 (Michael Klein), or email erin@coastsidelaw.com.au.

Questions about our credentials
Is Coastside Law a member of the Queensland Law Society?
Yes. Members of the Queensland Law Society. The Queensland Law Society is the professional body for solicitors in Queensland, and its Find a Solicitor directory lists practising solicitors and their firms.
Are Coastside Law's lawyers admitted solicitors?
Yes. Michael Klein was admitted in 2003 and is admitted to the High Court of Australia and the Supreme Court of Queensland. Erin Wilkinson was admitted as a solicitor of the Supreme Court of Queensland in 2025. Both hold current Queensland practising certificates.
What is the difference between a solicitor and a conveyancer in Queensland?
Queensland does not licence non-lawyer conveyancers to give legal advice. Contract advice, special conditions, disputes, wills, enduring powers of attorney and probate can only be handled by an admitted solicitor. At Coastside Law a solicitor reads your contract, not an unqualified processor.
Where is the firm's registered office?
40 Theresa Street, Golden Beach QLD 4551. There is also an office at 15 Fortune Street, Scarborough QLD 4020 for Moreton Bay clients, seen by appointment. Both are genuine premises of the same firm, with the same phone numbers and the same solicitors.
Who do I complain to if something goes wrong?
Raise it with us first — Michael Klein is the Legal Practice Director and handles complaints personally. If it cannot be resolved, the Legal Services Commission of Queensland deals with complaints about Queensland solicitors, and the Queensland Law Society can point you to that process.
Do you give a costs agreement?
Yes. Every matter starts with a written costs agreement and disclosure as required under the Legal Profession Act 2007 (Qld), with a fixed professional fee stated upfront and disbursements listed at cost.
Or call Erin Wilkinson on 0488 340 853 or Michael Klein on 0419 000 884.
