Civil, family, inheritance, property and employment matters. One lawyer, from the first conversation to the final filing.
Clear advice,
no false promises
Aleksander Wierzbicki
Attorney-at-law · Warsaw Bar Association
I handle every case personally. You always know who is responsible for it, and nothing gets lost between people.
I have run my own practice since 2002. Most of my work is in family and inheritance law, particularly dividing marital property and estates that include real estate. I also handle civil, property and employment cases. Before taking anything on, I read the documents and tell you what your realistic options are.
People usually come to a lawyer at one of the hardest moments of their lives. I chose to work on my own so that every client gets the attention I would want for my own family — someone who knows the file inside out, picks up the phone and explains the law in plain language.
The best result is often the one reached without a long trial. When a case has to go to court, I prepare for it thoroughly — but I always look first for a solution that costs you less, in money, in time and in stress.

Questions
- What should I bring to the first consultation?
- Everything you have received in the matter: court letters, contracts, correspondence, decisions. If you are not sure whether something matters, bring it — sorting documents is part of my work.
- Can we meet online?
- Yes. Consultations can be held by video call, and documents exchanged by email or a secure link. Many clients outside Warsaw never need to visit the office.
- How long will my case take?
- It depends mostly on the court and the other side. After reading the file I give you an honest estimate, including the stages where things usually slow down.
- Will you handle my case personally?
- Always. I have no associates or trainees; every letter, call and hearing is handled by me.
- What happens to the fee if the case is lost?
- The fee is for the work, not the result, and is agreed in writing beforehand. I also explain the court costs you could face, so there are no surprises at the end.
- Do you take cases outside Warsaw?
- Yes. I represent clients before courts across Poland and attend hearings in person.
