Scope

Criminal law practice is primarily conducted within the framework of Law No. 5271 (Code of Criminal Procedure) and Law No. 5237 (Turkish Penal Code). Procedures are followed before law enforcement, the prosecutor's office, and the courts.

Legal defense is conducted together with the client from the moment of custody and continues without interruption, from the review of the investigation file to the follow-up of hearings.

Common Situations

The right to remain silent, the right to request a lawyer, and the legal safeguards during the interrogation process are assessed for the detained person.

Objection to Pre-trial Detention

Objection periods against detention decisions and the conditions for pre-trial detention assessed by the court are monitored.

Defense during Investigation

Effective defense is provided and the suspect's rights are protected during the evidence-gathering process of the prosecutor's investigation.

Hearings are followed from the acceptance of the indictment until the judgment becomes final, and appeal processes are conducted when necessary.
