Meetings and language
How do I book a meeting?
Call +90 533 250 49 13 or send a WhatsApp message. Tell us briefly what your matter is about so that we can say which documents to bring.
Can we meet online?
Yes. Where appropriate, the first assessment can take place by phone or video call, and documents can be sent in advance.
Can everything be done in English?
Meetings and correspondence can be in English. Filings with Turkish courts and authorities must be in Turkish; certified translations are arranged when documents are in another language.
Fees and power of attorney
How are legal fees set?
Fees are agreed in writing, taking into account the nature and scope of the work, within the framework of the Attorneys’ Act and the minimum fee schedule set each year by the Union of Turkish Bar Associations. Court costs (fees, expert costs, notifications) are separate.
How do I give a power of attorney if I live abroad?
You can sign a power of attorney at a Turkish consulate, or before a local notary in your country; in the latter case it needs an apostille (or consular legalisation) and a certified Turkish translation. A passport copy is usually required.
Do I need a lawyer to go to court in Türkiye?
Representation by a lawyer is generally not mandatory, but procedural deadlines, language and evidence rules make professional help strongly advisable — especially for non-Turkish speakers.
Procedure and timing
How long does a case take?
It depends on the court’s workload, expert examinations, witnesses and appeals. We give a realistic range for your particular file, but no exact duration can be promised.
Do you handle matters outside Bursa?
Yes. The office is based in Bursa, but matters elsewhere in Türkiye are handled in accordance with procedural rules, using electronic hearing options where available.
Mediation or court?
For certain disputes mediation is a precondition to litigation; for others it is optional. Mediation can be quicker and confidential. The right route depends on your claim and evidence.
Safety
Someone asked me for money in the office’s name. What should I do?
Do not pay and do not share personal or banking details. Keep the messages and numbers and inform the office or the public prosecutor. See the Fraud Warning page.
Is the information I share confidential?
Yes. Lawyers are bound by professional secrecy. See Legal Notice & Privacy for how personal data is processed.
