In urgent cases, we are at your disposal outside the standard working hours. If you think your case may require urgent attention, please contact us at +48 22 203 54 91 or e-mail us at info@wsalegal.com (if it is outside the standard working hours that is 9:00 am – 17:00 CET time), typing word URGENT, in the subject line of your email.

We take an active steps in preparatory proceedings (investigations), in proceedings before competent courts, at all instances. Our services often consist of the following activities:

  • preparation and representing your interest in private prosecution matters in Poland;
  • representing the client in preparatory (at prosecution) and court proceedings;
  • representing victims acting as auxiliary prosecutors or private prosecutors;
  • making applications for compensation and reparation.

In the case of a one-off task, such as preparing a notification to Polish Police / Prosecution, representing a client in cases of simple offence, our costs are usually fixed.

In more complex cases, it is sometimes difficult to calculate the fee, because disputes can be very time -consuming. When calculating the fees, we take into account the complexity of the matter at hands – and the level of responsibility we assume. We make our fees predictable and based on clear and fair rules.

If we cannot present a one-off fixed fee for a specific task, we use either hourly rates or a staged procedure, where we present fees for specific stages in the case.
