FAQ
General information before your consultation
Answers are for informational purposes only and do not constitute legal advice or an assessment of chances in a specific case.
Can a US legal matter be handled while living in Poland?
In many types of proceedings, personal presence is not required at every stage. The scope of necessary actions and documents depends on the type of case and requires individual evaluation.
What languages are services provided in?
In Polish and English. Pleadings and official correspondence with courts and government agencies are prepared in the language appropriate for the given jurisdiction.
What does the initial consultation look like?
The consultation includes reviewing the case status and documents, outlining the scope of possible actions, and discussing fee terms. The firm does not evaluate cases without reviewing the documentation first.
Do documents require an apostille and translation?
In cross-border proceedings, a certified translation is usually required, and in some cases, an apostille is needed as well. Requirements are determined after evaluating the type of proceeding.
What are the fee arrangements?
Depending on the type of case, an hourly rate or a flat fee arrangement is applied. Terms are set in writing before taking on the case.
Is the shared information kept confidential?
Communications with an attorney are protected by attorney-client privilege. The law firm does not disclose information about clients contacting the firm or the cases handled.
