NOTARY
Having graduated from Law School at the University of Gdańsk and completed a full-time notary public traineeship program, I passed the notary exam and became a junior notary in a notary office in Gdańsk. I also provided assistant notary services for a number of other notary offices, where I worked on a wide range of contracts and participated in various transactions requiring the presence of a notary public. I opened my own notary office in Gdynia in 2009. With my vast experience, I guarantee the highest level of notary services and impartiality to properly secure the interests of both parties to the transactions. I prepare the contracts on my own with utmost diligence. I take the time to clarify any doubts you may have and the consequences of their transactions.
Your satisfaction and legal security are my top priorities.
