Detained by the Border Guard?
Every hour counts.
We act fast in cases involving a return decision (zobowiązanie do powrotu), detention in a guarded centre for foreigners, entry bans and appeals against decisions of the Border Guard (Straż Graniczna).
Legal help in deportation cases — all of Poland
Deportation from Poland in practice means several separate proceedings running in parallel: a return decision (decyzja o zobowiązaniu cudzoziemca do powrotu) issued by the Border Guard, possible placement in a guarded centre for foreigners (strzeżony ośrodek dla cudzoziemców) by court order, an entry ban, and often an alert in the Schengen Information System. Each of them has its own appeal deadline counted in days — which is why the moment you contact a lawyer usually decides the outcome.
We represent foreigners before Border Guard units, voivodes (wojewoda), the Head of the Office for Foreigners and the courts across the country. We handle appeals against return decisions, complaints against detention, applications for alternatives to detention, shortening of entry bans, deletion of SIS alerts and residence legalisation. We work in English, Polish, Ukrainian and Russian.
If someone close to you has just been detained, do not wait for the documents to be served — call 22 270 63 01. We give you an initial assessment and a list of urgent steps during the call itself.
