Frequently Asked Questions
Questions our clients ask most often
We have gathered brief answers to the questions our clients ask us most often. If your question is not answered here, you can reach us through our contact page.
Frequently Asked QuestionsSend us your questionIs the first consultation charged?
No, our initial assessment meeting is free of charge. In that meeting we listen to your matter, explain the legal options open to you and, where needed, tell you how the power of attorney process works.
How are legal fees determined?
The fee depends on the scope of the matter, its expected duration and the nature of the work to be carried out. The Minimum Attorney Fee Tariff of the Union of Turkish Bar Associations sets the lower limit. Fees and payment terms are set out in a written engagement agreement before work begins.
How long does a case take?
The duration varies according to the type of dispute, the court's caseload, whether an expert examination is required, and the stages of appeal. For this reason no fixed duration can be promised at the outset. After reviewing your file we can explain the general course of comparable disputes.
Can I grant a power of attorney from another city or from abroad?
Yes. A power of attorney can be issued before a notary where you are located, or before a Turkish consulate if you are abroad. We send you in advance the details it must contain; meetings can be held by telephone and online video conference throughout the process.
Will our discussions remain confidential?
Yes. An attorney's duty of confidentiality is set out in Article 36 of the Attorneyship Act and applies even where no engagement is entered into. The information and documents you share are not disclosed to third parties.
