The law is there to protect, not to destroy the innocent. We are winning against the system!

We led the defence of an eminent doctor who was charged with medical malpractice and manslaughter of a patient on the basis of a controversial expert opinion.

The court explicitly recognised the contribution of the defence lawyers in explaining the case, and we were also congratulated by the ancillary prosecutor (family of the deceased patient). The subsidiary accuser stated directly in the courtroom that the wrong doctor had been accused and that an attempt had been made to make a scapegoat out of him. The court emphasised that the material gathered in the case spoke unequivocally in favour of the acquittal of the accused and that, in view of the clearly defined indictment, it could not assess the entire treatment of the patient in the direction of determining the possible responsibility of other persons, but certainly not that of the accused.

The case, assisted by Lukasz Matyjas, was personally conducted by Lawyer Grzegorz Romanowski, using not only his legal and procedural skills, but also his knowledge of medicine acquired during his medical studies. His commitment and dedication of many hours of work, as well as his cooperation with the most eminent medical specialists in Poland, made it possible to prepare a professional expert report meeting the requirements of the trial. The case exposed many weaknesses in the system and how vulnerable a person can be to the system. Fortunately, the wrongly accused was acquitted with the full approval and understanding of such a decision on the part of the auxiliary prosecutor. The case was thus won not only in the 'legal' field, but also in the 'human relations' field.
