Beylikdüzü Lawyer | Batın Yılmaz Law Firm

When looking for a lawyer in Beylikdüzü, the most important question is which field of law the legal issue falls under. The path a property owner experiencing a rental dispute must follow differs from that of a foreigner whose residence permit has been denied. Therefore, the first step is to accurately determine the legal nature of the dispute and any statutory deadlines, if applicable.

Batın Yılmaz Law Firm operates in Istanbul's Beylikdüzü district, located at Skyport Residence, Hürriyet Bulvarı, Yakuplu Neighborhood.

Which courthouse does Beylikdüzü jurisdiction fall under?

In terms of general judicial jurisdiction, Beylikdüzü falls within the judicial district of the Büyükçekmece Courthouse. However, the court with subject-matter and territorial jurisdiction for each dispute may vary depending on the type of dispute, the domicile of the parties, the location of the immovable property, jurisdiction clauses in contracts, or special jurisdictional rules set forth by law. Administrative lawsuits and certain specialized courts may be heard in different judicial districts. Therefore, rules of jurisdiction and venue must be reviewed on a case-by-case basis before filing a lawsuit.

When should one consult a lawyer for a legal issue?

Legal support is not only necessary after a lawsuit has been filed. An evaluation conducted at an early stage can help prevent procedural issues and losses of rights that may arise later. Especially if an official notice has been received, an investigation has been initiated, an enforcement or payment order has been served, or an administrative decision has been rendered, the date of service of the document must first be established. In Turkish law, certain application, objection, and lawsuit deadlines are very short; being in the right after the deadline has expired does not always restore lost opportunities.

What documents should be prepared before consulting a lawyer?

If there is an ongoing lawsuit or enforcement file, petitions, court decisions, expert reports, payment orders, or enforcement orders should be made available. In rental disputes, the lease agreement, eviction commitment, payment records, and notices; in real estate disputes, the title deed registration and contracts; in immigration and foreigners law, the passport, residence or work permit, and notified administrative decisions; and in criminal cases, statements and investigation documents are important. Even if you are missing a document, simply explaining your situation is sufficient; you will be informed of the necessary documents.

How to grant a power of attorney to a lawyer?

Individuals located in Turkey can generally issue a power of attorney through a notary public. Since specific authorization may be required depending on the nature of the transaction, it is advisable to obtain the required authorization text from the attorney prior to the notary procedure. For individuals located abroad, the method of issuance varies by country; whether issuance through Turkish diplomatic missions, an apostille or legalization, and Turkish translation are required must be additionally verified based on the intended transaction.

Is it mandatory to retain a lawyer in a lawsuit?

In Turkish law, legal representation by an attorney is generally not mandatory in every lawsuit. However, in criminal procedure, there are certain mandatory defense counsel requirements stipulated by law. Even when an attorney is not compulsory, professional assessment in time-sensitive, high-value, or technical proceedings reduces the risk of loss of rights.

How is the legal fee determined?

Attorney fees are not a fixed amount for every case. The nature of the legal work, the scope of the case, its economic value, and the duration of representation are taken into consideration. The basic framework of the fee is determined by Attorneys' Law No. 1136 and the current Minimum Wage Tariff for Attorneys issued by the Union of Turkish Bar Associations. Which services are included in the fee, how the fee will be paid, and by whom additional expenses will be covered must be clarified through a written fee agreement.

What to consider when choosing a lawyer?

Whether the person consulted is an attorney registered with the bar association can be verified through the Bar registry. The attorney must clearly explain the legal nature of your case, outlining applicable remedies and risks. The outcome of any lawsuit cannot be guaranteed in advance; such promises should be approached with caution. The scope of services and fees should be determined in writing, and the method of communication and frequency of updates should be discussed from the outset.

Legal services in foreign languages

In our office, communication can be conducted in English, Persian, Arabic, and Russian, in addition to Turkish. It is important for foreign clients to understand the decisions served upon them, statutory deadlines, and the potential consequences of the proceedings; therefore, case consultations can be conducted in the client's native language.

Is it possible to have an online consultation?

Depending on the nature of the case, initial information and documents can be shared electronically and a preliminary assessment can be conducted. However, a power of attorney, court hearings, or physical proceedings at public institutions may always be required. The availability of remote consultation does not mean that every procedure can be conducted entirely online.

Cases outside of Beylikdüzü

The fact that our office is located in Beylikdüzü does not mean that we are limited only to cases within this district. Within the framework of the attorney-client relationship and relevant procedural rules, we can handle lawsuits and legal proceedings in other districts of Istanbul and various provinces across Turkey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a lawyer located in Beylikdüzü only handle cases within Beylikdüzü?

No. Depending on the nature of the case, legal proceedings can be handled in other districts of Istanbul and throughout Turkey.

Is mediation required before filing a lawsuit in rent disputes?

Mediation applies as a mandatory prerequisite to litigation for many disputes arising from rental relationships. Since there may be exceptions and different procedures, it must be verified whether your claim falls within this scope before filing a lawsuit.

Is it mandatory to retain a lawyer during the urban transformation process?

Representation by a lawyer is not mandatory for every transaction. However, since contractor agreements, property owner resolutions, share sales, and rental assistance disputes can yield significant consequences, it is beneficial to conduct a legal review before signing agreements.

When should one consult a lawyer in a criminal case?

It is not necessary to wait for a lawsuit to be filed. The status of the case can be evaluated at stages such as a summons for interrogation, custody, search, seizure, or upon learning of an ongoing investigation.
