English-speaking lawyer in Wrocław. Polish law, in plain English.

A consultation costs PLN 250, with no time limit. The conversation lasts as long as the matter requires. The price covers a full case analysis, a discussion of legal options and a preliminary quote for further proceedings. It takes place at the office (ul. Horbaczewskiego 4/6 in Wrocław) or online (Google Meet, Microsoft Teams).

Some consultations close in 30 minutes, others run for an hour and a half. I do not watch the clock, I do not bill extra minutes. The fee for handling the case is agreed only at the end, once I see the scope of work.

The first call is a brief conversation of a few minutes during which I determine whether your matter falls within my area of practice. This is not yet the paid consultation; its purpose is matching you with the right attorney, not analysing the case. If I can realistically help, we schedule the full consultation (PLN 250, no time limit), at the office or online. If not, I point you toward where to look next.

Yes. The office is in Wrocław, but I conduct cases before courts throughout Poland. Most communication is handled remotely, by phone, email and video conference. Clients visit the office only when they prefer to or when the procedure requires it. In practice I have represented clients from Warsaw, Kraków, Gdańsk and Szczecin, as well as expats living abroad.

Yes, via Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or regular phone, depending on your preference. An online meeting has the same legal and substantive value as an in-person meeting, and the price is identical: PLN 250. It is simply more convenient for clients outside Wrocław, parents of small children, or people working unusual hours.

Bring all documents related to your matter and a brief chronological summary of events. These typically include contracts, court letters, decisions of authorities, and correspondence with the other party. The chronology does not need to be formal, notes about what happened, when, and who was involved are enough. For email or messaging correspondence, screenshots or exports are helpful.

Fees follow one of three models: a flat fee for a specific task, an hourly rate for long-running matters, or a lump-sum fee for an entire case through to a final judgment. The amount and model are agreed during the full consultation, after document analysis. Every engagement is in writing; all terms are in the document signed before work begins.

Yes. Polish attorney-client privilege covers everything I learn in connection with providing legal assistance, lasts indefinitely, and applies regardless of whether you sign an engagement agreement. The legal basis is Article 3 of the Polish Act on Attorneys-at-Law. It covers both the initial conversation and all documents you provide; I cannot be released from it even by a court, with very narrow exceptions provided by law.

A divorce in Wrocław takes from a few months to two or three years. A reserve (zachowek) case takes 12-24 months. A WIBOR case takes 18-36 months at first instance, though a security order can be obtained within weeks. Divorce without a finding of fault and without property disputes typically closes in 3-6 months. I'll assess a realistic timeline for your matter after analysing the documents.

Yes. I conduct consultations and handle cases in English. I represent foreign clients and expats in family law (divorce, custody, alimony for cross-border families), real estate, B2B contracts, IT/SaaS contracts and GDPR compliance, cross-border inheritance under EU Succession Regulation 650/2012, and WIBOR mortgage disputes for expats with Polish loans.

I represent borrowers in disputes with banks over Polish WIBOR-based mortgage clauses. My office obtained the first final and binding security order in Poland in a WIBOR case (VI ACz 1125/23, 25 June 2024). I handle the full scope: contract analysis for abusive clauses, motions for security (suspension of installment payments during proceedings), and lawsuits seeking a declaration of invalidity or recovery of overpaid amounts.
