Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions most frequently put to the office. If you cannot find yours, please use the contact form.
How does the first consultation work?
You may request an appointment through the form on this site, by telephone or by email. Before the meeting you will be told which documents to bring. Meetings may be held at the office, by telephone or online.
How long will my case take?
The duration depends on the type of file, the workload of the relevant court, the evidence to be gathered and whether expert examination is required. At the first consultation we explain the typical stages in comparable files; no guarantee is given as to any particular duration or outcome.
Do you handle files outside Silifke?
Yes. Files in Mersin and neighbouring provinces are handled, and representation is arranged for hearings where required. Since many steps can be carried out through the national judiciary system, files in other cities can also be followed.
Will what I say at the consultation remain confidential?
Yes. The attorney's duty of confidentiality arises from statute and applies regardless of whether the consultation results in a retainer.
How quickly will I receive a reply if I use the form?
Questions sent through the form reach the office and are reviewed during working hours. Replies given through the form are general information only; a detailed assessment of your file can be made only after a consultation.
How is a power of attorney issued?
A power of attorney is executed before a notary. The type required depends on the subject matter of the file; divorce and criminal files require a power of attorney bearing a photograph. You will be told what information to provide at the notary during the consultation.
