Criminal law is among the most sensitive areas of law, as it bears directly on personal liberty. The steps taken from the very first moment of an investigation have a decisive impact on the course and outcome of the proceedings. That is why proper legal representation matters from the statement stage onward.

What Disputes Does Criminal Law Cover?

The main areas of criminal law include defense counsel services at the police and prosecutor's office stage, proceedings before the high criminal courts and criminal courts of first instance, objections to detention measures, settlement (conciliation) processes, and representation of victims and complainants. Each case has its own evidence and circumstances and calls for its own strategy.

How the Process Works

We begin with a preliminary consultation, where we listen to your situation and assess your legal options. We then define the strategy and roadmap that best serves your interests, prepare the necessary documents, and set the process in motion. We follow the case, criminal procedures, and official filings from start to finish, managing hearings, notifications, and deadlines on your behalf. We keep you regularly informed and move forward with a focus on results.

We serve individual and corporate clients in Bakırköy and throughout Istanbul. For more information, you can request a preliminary consultation.

Criminal Law — Frequently Asked Questions

I've been summoned to give a statement. Do I have to go with a lawyer?
Although it is not a legal requirement in every case, the statement stage is critical to how your case unfolds. Acting with defense counsel is strongly recommended to protect your rights and to avoid mistakes that are hard to undo.
What can I do for a relative who has been placed in pretrial detention?
You can file an objection to the detention order and request release. Because the time limit is short, you should contact a lawyer without delay; we will review the file and determine the most appropriate course of action together.
If I withdraw my complaint, will the case be dropped?
Some offenses are subject to complaint, and withdrawing the complaint can end the case; however, many offenses are prosecuted ex officio (automatically), and withdrawing your complaint does not cause the case to be dropped. We will need to meet to assess your specific situation.
How long does a criminal case take?
The duration varies depending on the nature of the offense, the state of the evidence, and the court's caseload. In the initial consultation, we will share a realistic timeframe for your case.
How are attorney fees determined?
Fees are determined according to the nature and scope of the work and the effort required, taking into account the Attorney Minimum Fee Schedule. In the initial consultation, we will give you clear and transparent information.
How does the initial consultation work, and is it paid?
You can request an initial consultation by filling out the form on the contact page or by phone. In the meeting, we will listen to your situation and evaluate your legal options and potential costs.
Will the information I share remain confidential?
Yes. All the information you share is protected under the principle of attorney–client confidentiality and is not shared with third parties.
I'm in another city or abroad; can we still work together?
Many procedures can be carried out through power of attorney and online communication; we can follow your case securely from a distance as well.
How long will my case take?
The duration varies depending on the nature of the case, the state of the evidence, and the court's caseload. In the initial consultation, we will share a realistic timeframe for your case.
Will I be kept informed during the court process?
