Piotr Zieliński handles family and inheritance matters — divorce, child arrangements and estates — and makes sure even the hardest cases are handled calmly.

He studied law at the University of Łódź and trained as an advocate with the Łódź Bar. As a student he volunteered at the university law clinic, advising people in difficult family situations free of charge — which is where his interest in family law began.

He is also an accredited family mediator, so where it is possible and in everyone’s interest, he can offer an amicable route out of a dispute — especially where children are involved. For well over a decade he has handled divorce, division of matrimonial property, maintenance and inheritance cases, including forced-share claims and confirmation of inheritance.

Piotr is a member of the Warsaw Bar Association and follows every change to Polish family and inheritance law closely. In his work he puts clear communication first, and supports clients not only legally but practically, through what is often an emotionally draining time.
