Polish Descent was absolutely wonderful and they made recovering my citizenship very easy. I researched several alternative services and chose Polish Descent because they were warm and welcoming in working with diverse Poles. I am Jewish and gay, and felt very respected throughout the full process. I especially appreciated how engaged Adrian is, and that he took a real interest in my family history. I look forward to meeting the Polish Descent team in person next time I travel to Poland!

So glad we found this company to manage our Polish citizenship applications! Service was professional from start to finish, timelines were clear and someone was always available to answer any questions we might have had. They were able to work with family members living across three different countries (the UK, Australia and New Zealand) very easily. The best thing of all was the price - the service was significantly cheaper with Polish Descent compared to the other 5 companies I contacted, yet there was clearly no drop off in service.

Adrian and Ewelina helped us with our application to received citizenship in Poland. From the first email, Polish Descent were professional, caring and timely in their responses with my family. They went over and beyond to look into our family history and our calls with Adrian were very warm and genuine. Being a family business, the attention to detail and personal touch didn’t go unnoticed.

My experience with Polish Descent couldn’t have been better. I had contacted many firms and Adrian and his team were the one that gave me the most information, explained my options most clearly, were always available for calls and explanations and showed incredible knowledge of the process. I cannot thank them enough for accompanying me on my journey to Polish citizenship and recommend them extremely highly.

I had my initial free consultation with Adrian and I plan to proceed. Very informative session. Looking forward to getting this done. Thank you Adrian. I just got notification that my application is ready to go. (Now a couple of months later) I found Polish Descent very easy and professional to work with. They were very prompt with communications and requests with very specific instructions on what was needed. And, they set up the DHL pickup to have everything mailed. Kamila did the legal work and Adrian is the face of the company. So far, I have had a very positive experience working with Polish Descent and I would strongly recommend their services. Thank you Adrian and Kamila.

Very impressed by Adrian and the team at Polish Descent. They did a superb job for my aunt and cousins, who recommended them to me, and they have been extremely helpful and professional to me and my 2 children in understanding and preparing our Polish citizenship applications.

A family-run law firm from Kraków

We started Polish Descent because too many people with genuine Polish ancestry were being turned away. One country, one focus — done right.
