Kropan Legal Services
Legal advice built on experience, conducted with class - in Polish and English.
Your legal security in investments
I have been practicing law for more than 20 years – both in Poland and in the USA. I help investors make informed and confident decisions by combining market experience with legal knowledge. I have a law degree, have taken courses on human rights and data protection in Strasbourg and New York, and have studied the judicial system in the USA. I am a Notary Public for the State of New Jersey and am in the process of obtaining my Foreign Legal Counsel license.
I have been actively investing in real estate in Poland and the United States since 2008. I know that good law is not complicated, but only protects what matters most.
