About

A lawyer who works alone — by choice, not by accident.

I have practised as an advocate in Warsaw since 1998. Most of my work is litigation: inheritance and property disputes, and the family and civil cases that so often come with them. Before I take anything on, I read the documents and tell you honestly where you stand.

I spent my first years at the bar in a large firm, where a client’s file passed through four pairs of hands before anyone made a decision. It was efficient for the firm. It wasn’t always good for the client. So I set up on my own, and kept the practice small enough that I can know every case properly.

Why I do this

Most people who come to me aren’t looking for a fight. They want something settled — a family estate, a home, a job they lost — and they want to be sure someone is genuinely paying attention. The law works best for those who can afford a whole team. I want my clients to get that same level of care from one person.

How I work

We talk

In the first meeting I look at the documents, the facts and your realistic chances. You’ll hear plainly what to expect — including when a case isn’t worth bringing.

We plan

I set out a strategy, the scope of work and an estimated cost. Where there’s more than one way forward, you choose which one we take.

I handle it

I represent you in court and before public authorities, and keep you informed at every step that matters.

Fees
