Australia / Looking for Polish immigration lawyer in Sydney [16]

Hello all,

I am looking for a good immigration lawyer to handle my immigration case for me. Either in Sydney, or in Poland, (as long as they speak good English). If you can reccommend someone, please let me know.

Briefly: My father and his family were Polish jews for many generations (he is deceased). After spending WWII in various concentration camps (thankfully he was liberated from Auschwitz) he was offered to emigrate to Australia. but had to renounce his Polish citizenship in order to do so.

I would like to gain Polish citizenship, as I am the descendant of a Polish father. I understand that theoretically, as he renounced his citizenship I am not eligible to do so, but I would argue that he was forced to renounce it, as he had to get out of Poland to survive.

I have read that there are now descendants of Polish jews who were purged in the 60's who are now regaining their citizenship, so it's quite a similar case I think.

Any help much appreciated!
