About me

I graduated from the Faculty of Law at Trnava University in Trnava. I began gaining legal experience during my studies while working as a legal assistant at HKP Legal, s.r.o. After graduation, I worked at a notary office as a trainee notary, where I gained experience mainly in inheritance law, the preparation of notarial deeds, and work with central registers. From 2016 to 2019, I worked as a trainee attorney at BERNÍK & partners, s.r.o. During this time, I gained extensive experience in business law, civil law, and other areas of legal practice, particularly in matters related to the business activities of the firm's clients.

After successfully passing the bar exam with the Slovak Bar Association, I worked at the Legal Aid Center in Bratislava, where I provided legal consultations and handled personal bankruptcy cases. From 2021 to 2025, I worked at the Ministry of Justice of the Slovak Republic, specializing in claims for damages caused by the actions of public authorities.

These experiences have given me a strong understanding of both public institutions and the needs of private clients. This allows me to evaluate each situation effectively and recommend practical, cost-effective solutions tailored to the client's needs.

Every case receives my personal attention. Clients always know who is handling their case and who they are communicating with. Complex legal terms are explained in a clear and simple way, so clients fully understand their options and the best course of action for their situation.

If you are looking for an experienced attorney for legal advice, an out-of-court settlement, or court representation, I will be happy to assist you.
