Persons acting in ecclesiastical courts are frequently unaware of their rights, do not have sufficient knowledge of regulations regarding important life issues, complicated family matters embedded in canon administrative and court proceedings.  

Undoubtedly, comprehensive legal advice is a competent and effective legal aid for litigant parties. An expertise in canon law resulting from a comprehensive knowledge and exceptionally long-standing experience of PhD Justyna Krzywkowska allows us to satisfy specific needs of the faithful.
