Is an online legal consultation confidential?
Yes. Information provided to the firm is covered by professional confidentiality.
Quick answer
Online legal services help you organise the matter, discuss documents and receive a clear plan of action, including in Polish-German cases.
Online legal support without unnecessary distance
Many legal matters can be assessed effectively during a telephone or video consultation after the relevant documents have been reviewed. This is particularly useful if you live outside Racibórz, are currently in Germany or need a quick review of a letter, contract or deadline.
An online consultation is not an automated answer. Its purpose is to establish the facts, identify legal risk and agree on a practical next step. Where a letter, negotiations, contact with an authority or representation is required, the firm can continue to handle the matter.
Polish-German matters
Cases involving Poland and Germany require attention to language, service of documents, deadlines and the correct procedure. Online support can include an initial review of a German letter, a contract with a German partner, family or inheritance documents and the sequence of further actions.
Advice and correspondence are available in Polish, German and English. See also German law and Polish-German matters.
How an online consultation works
- Briefly describe the matter and any deadline.
- Send the relevant letters, contracts or decisions by email.
- Agree a telephone or video appointment.
- Receive a clear assessment and proposed next step.
Matters that can be discussed remotely
Online support may concern official letters, contract review, employment dismissal, payment claims, enforcement, inheritance, family and property matters. An initial review can also be useful for consumer bankruptcy, where complete financial information and the right order of actions matter.
Documents and confidentiality
Please send only documents relevant to the matter, preferably with a short timeline and a note of important deadlines. Information is handled under professional confidentiality. Do not send passwords, payment-card data or unrelated documents.
Contact the firm to establish whether an online consultation is suitable and to agree its scope.
Examples of matters that can start online
A German letter with a deadline
A payment demand, court letter, administrative decision or insurer’s correspondence should first be checked for the sender, the type of matter, date of service and deadline. An online consultation can establish whether a reply, translation, evidence or further representation is needed.
A contract or property document
Before signing, it is useful to review the scope, deadlines, liability, governing law and jurisdiction. In Polish-German relationships, even a short contract may require a careful choice-of-law analysis.
Family, inheritance, debt or enforcement issues
The first online meeting can organise the facts, documents and priorities in cross-border family or inheritance matters, enforcement and consumer-bankruptcy questions.
What you receive after the consultation
The outcome should be practical: an assessment of the key document or issue, identified risks and deadlines, a list of missing information and a recommended next step. If letters, negotiations or representation are needed, the scope and fee are agreed before further work begins.

Summary
An online consultation is a practical first step when you need a document review, risk assessment or clear next steps. If the matter requires further representation, we will agree how to proceed.
