Facing a criminal allegation in a foreign legal system is one of the most stressful situations a person can experience. We defend foreign nationals at every stage of Turkish criminal procedure — investigation, trial and appeal — and we make sure you understand exactly what is happening in your own language before any decision is taken.
Never give a statement without counsel. Under Turkish law you are entitled to a lawyer from the very first interview — use that right.

Questions
Criminal Defense — frequently asked
I was asked to give a statement. Should I?
Not without a lawyer. You have the right to counsel from the first interview and the right to remain silent. Contact us before any statement — what is said in the first hours often shapes the whole case.
Can you attend urgently?
Yes. For custody situations in Ankara we attend the same day; elsewhere we act immediately through correspondent counsel and take over the file.
Will proceedings be translated?
You are entitled to an interpreter at every stage. We additionally explain every development and document to you in plain English.
