Frequently asked questions
What people often want to know before the first meeting. If you cannot find the answer to your question, write to us.
How does the first meeting work?
Meetings are held in person at the office, by appointment. To book one, you can call, write on WhatsApp or by email, or fill in the form on this site. Meetings can be held in English.
Do you handle cases in Kayseri's districts and in other cities?
The office is in Kocasinan; cases in Kayseri's central and other districts are handled. For cases outside Kayseri, the use of UYAP (the national judicial network) and SEGBİS (video hearings) and the nature of the matter are assessed together at the first meeting.
Which documents should I bring to the first meeting?
Bring every document you have on the matter: contracts, notifications served on you, court or enforcement papers, correspondence and your ID. If you briefly describe the matter when booking, you will be told in advance which documents are needed.
How are legal fees determined?
Fees depend on the nature of the work, the effort and the time it requires, and are agreed in a written engagement agreement. Under the Attorneys' Act, fees cannot be lower than the Minimum Attorney Fee Tariff published each year by the Union of Turkish Bar Associations.
Will what I tell you remain confidential?
Yes. Attorneys are legally bound to keep confidential any information they learn in the course of their profession. Personal data you share is also processed in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK).
Do I have to go to mediation before filing a lawsuit?
In some disputes, yes. Mediation is mandatory before filing a lawsuit in many matters, including employee and employer claims and reinstatement requests, commercial claims for payment or damages, lease relationships, partition of co-owned property and condominium disputes. Whether your matter falls within this scope is determined at the first meeting.
What can I do if I cannot afford a lawyer?
If you cannot afford legal fees, you can apply to the legal aid office of the Kayseri Bar Association. If your application is accepted, the bar appoints a lawyer for you.
