Polish Citizenship Law – We Can Help You!
For 17 years, we have specialized in Polish citizenship law and administrative law.
Piotr Cybula and Michał Wiśniewski – for over 17 years, we have specialized in cases concerning the confirmation of possession and restoration of Polish citizenship. We help clients from around the world determine their legal status, locate documents confirming their Polish ancestry, and navigate the entire process leading to a decision concerning Polish citizenship.
Every family history is different, which is why we begin each case with an individual assessment of its circumstances and documents.
Our many years of experience also enable us to handle cases requiring the reconstruction of a family’s history going back many decades.
We work with professional genealogists who help us locate documents in archives in Poland and abroad.
We have handled cases for descendants of Polish emigrants who chose to settle in some of the most unexpected places around the world. Alaska, Hawaii, Zambia and Patagonia are just a few examples. Every wave of emigration and every country in which Polish emigrants settled has its own particular characteristics. The documents required in a case differ, as do the historical circumstances that affect how the proceedings should be conducted. Understanding the differences between legal systems is also important when determining whether Polish citizenship was retained.
We represent our clients before public administration authorities, the Voivodeship Administrative Court and the Supreme Administrative Court. We handle each case from the initial assessment, through assisting with the collection of the necessary documents and preparing the application, to obtaining a final resolution.
In our work, we always follow the principle that the client should know the genuine prospects of successfully pursuing the case. We never present a case in a more favorable light than is warranted by the applicable law, the available documents and the established circumstances. If we identify a significant risk or legal obstacle, we inform the client of it already at the initial assessment stage.
The CK Law Office is located at 1 Aleja Przyjaciół, apartment 12, 2nd floor. The entrance is right next to Koszykowa Street.
What matters most to us is that, from the outset, the client understands their situation and knows what to expect. We combine specialist knowledge of Polish citizenship law with many years of practical experience and a thorough understanding of historical legislation, which is often crucial to the outcome of a case. Our task is to find the right path to confirming or restoring Polish citizenship – even when that path leads through the history of several generations.
