Legal processes are often complex and full of uncertainties. You might have questions such as “When should I consult an attorney?”, “How long does a lawsuit take?”, or “What is the cost of a divorce case?”
As SVK Law, we have presented the most frequently asked legal questions and their clear, understandable answers below to guide you. Please note that every specific case may vary; please contact us for the most accurate evaluation.
Under Turkish law, hiring an attorney is not mandatory for most cases. However, many legal processes require technical knowledge, procedural expertise, and strategy. A wrong petition, missing a deadline, or a procedural error can lead to a loss of rights. Therefore, getting support from an expert attorney is generally the right choice.
Yes, you can file a lawsuit on your own behalf. However, many situations in the legal system are subject to strict procedural rules; incomplete or incorrect actions naturally lead to the dismissal of the case or unfavorable results.
Attorney fees are determined based on many factors such as the nature of the case, the degree of difficulty, the volume of work, and the status of evidence. Additionally, a fee agreement can be made based on the Minimum Wage Tariff of the Union of Turkish Bar Associations.
An attorney fee agreement defines the rights and obligations between the client and the attorney. With this contract, elements such as the fee, the scope of work, and the duration are clearly written. This reduces the possibility of future disputes.
To revoke a power of attorney, a “letter of dismissal” (azilname) is usually issued via a notary public and notified to the relevant authorities. After the dismissal process is completed, the attorney can no longer perform transactions with that power of attorney.
The duration of lawsuits varies depending on the type (family, criminal, labor, compensation, etc.), the need for evidence collection, and the workload of the court. While some cases can be concluded within months, complex files may take years.
Uncontested divorces usually conclude quickly (within months). Contested divorces, on the other hand, can span years due to factors such as witnesses, evidence, and court workload.
An eviction lawsuit can be filed in cases such as non-payment of rent, breach of contract, or misuse of the property by the tenant. In any case, it is important to send a notice of default beforehand and conduct the process in accordance with the procedure.
You can apply to the enforcement office with a “petition of objection” within the legal period starting from the notification of the payment order. It is very important to pay attention to procedural and deadline rules in this process. Check out our Enforcement Law page for more information.
Compensation is calculated based on many components such as fault rate, disability rate, loss of income, and treatment costs. Elements such as expert reports, doctor reports, and the conditions of the accident are crucial.
Yes, a change of custody can be requested with a justified lawsuit regarding the best interests of the child. Changing living conditions, care conditions, and parental attitudes are evaluated.
When giving a statement as a suspect or defendant, you have the right to remain silent and the right to have an attorney present. Although it is possible to change your statement later, inconsistencies can have a negative impact on the case. Consult our expert attorneys on Criminal Law.
If a judgment is made against a party at the end of a lawsuit, the court may order the losing party to pay an attorney fee determined by the court. This fee depends on the principles of the court decision and the case.
If the attorney contract is defective or obligations were not met, an objection can be made, and the contract can be terminated. However, this situation depends on the status of the file and the signed contract.
