Lawyer is a professional group that protects and defends the rights of real persons or legal persons before the judiciary. Persons who guide and specialize in law and legal affairs are called lawyers. When the etymology of the word lawyer is examined, it is seen that it comes from Latin and means the person summoned to the court, the defender of rights. In addition, people who have graduated from law faculty and completed their legal internship can practice law in Turkey.
Lawyer is defined in Turkish Law by Law No. 1136. According to this law, advocacy is public service and self-employment. Those who practice this profession ensure that legal disputes are resolved in accordance with the law. At the same time, another obligation of the lawyers is to follow the cases and to carry out the proceedings related to the case.
Criminal Defense Lawyers play a crucial role within the legal system, specializing in representing individuals or entities accused of criminal offenses. Just as lawyers in other fields advocate for their clients’ rights, criminal defense attorneys work tirelessly to ensure fair treatment and due process for those facing criminal charges. In Turkey, as in many jurisdictions worldwide, the duties of a criminal defense lawyer encompass safeguarding the rights of the accused, providing legal counsel, and navigating complex legal proceedings.
In this article, we will answer the issue of attorney fees in Turkey, which is one of the most frequently asked questions about the Turkish legal system. This wage system causes confusion especially for foreigners. This is a natural confusion, because when the client rights holder is charged this fee, the beneficiary usually sets this fee privately with his lawyer. Therefore, it is natural that there is confusion. While there is a minimum fee schedule for lawyers, this is the lowest fee. Lawyers in Turkey usually charge higher fees than this tariff. The minimum wage tariffs of lawyers are determined by the Union of Turkish Bar Associations, a professional organization. For more detailed information about attorney fees in Turkey, you can contact Antalya Lawyer Ahmet Alkan Law Office.
