How much does it cost, how long does it take, how is a power of attorney issued… We have gathered the questions asked most here. If you cannot find yours, write to us and we will answer.
In the first meeting we assess the legal position of your case, the possible routes and the likely timeline. The consultation fee and the legal fee are set on the basis of the Minimum Attorney Fee Tariff and the recommended tariff of the Istanbul Bar Association, and are stated to you clearly before the meeting. There are no surprise charges.
How are legal fees determined?+
The fee depends on the nature of the work, its expected duration, the complexity of the file and the value of the claim. In monetary claims a proportional fee may apply in addition to the fixed fee. The fee agreement is made in writing and the payment plan is set out at the start. Under the Attorneys Act, a fee below the minimum in the tariff cannot be agreed.
How long does a case take?+
The duration depends on the court’s caseload, the state of the evidence and whether an expert report is needed. As a rough guide: an uncontested divorce takes a single hearing, a contested divorce 1–3 years, an employment claim 1–2 years, criminal files 1–3 years, and an enforcement proceeding 2–3 months if no objection is filed. An appeal can add 1–2 years. We give you a more realistic estimate for your own file at the first meeting.
What do I need to do to issue a power of attorney?+
You can obtain a "general litigation power of attorney" from any notary with your identity document. In divorce cases and in recognition and enforcement proceedings a power of attorney with a photograph is mandatory. We send you the required details in writing (the lawyer’s name, bar registration number and national identity number). If you are abroad, you can also have it issued at a Turkish consulate.
Tell us what happened; we will work the rest out together.
In the first meeting we discuss where your case stands, the routes open to you and roughly how long they take. At our office or by video — whichever suits you.
