English-speaking civil lawyer in Poland

Cases I handle

• compensation claims: traffic accidents, medical incidents, property damage
• disputes with insurers
• inheritance: confirmation of succession, division of the estate, forced share (zachowek), disclaiming an inheritance
• contracts: drafting and review before signing
• payment claims and defending against them, including payment orders
• Swiss franc (CHF) mortgage disputes with banks

Received a payment order?

A payment order (nakaz zapłaty) from a Polish court usually has to be challenged within 14 days of delivery. After that it can become final, so documents from a court should be translated and checked straight away.

Inheriting in Poland

As a rule, an heir has 6 months from learning of their entitlement to accept or disclaim the inheritance. This matters in particular when the estate may include debts. I help assess the estate, confirm succession and pursue the forced share.

Swiss franc mortgages

Consumers with mortgages indexed or denominated to CHF can challenge the conversion clauses based on EU and Polish case law. I review the loan documents and represent borrowers against banks.
