Your Questions

Frequently Asked Questions about Adana Lawyer YBS Hukuk Adana Law Office

The most frequently asked questions about lawyers in Adana and general legal processes. For further questions specific to each area of law, you can visit our relevant service pages.

How much does it cost to consult a lawyer in Adana?

Under Article 164 of the Attorneyship Law, the lawyer's fee is the consideration for the lawyer's legal services and may not be agreed below the minimum fee tariff for lawyers. The amount is determined by the attorney-client fee agreement, taking into account the nature, scope and duration of the work. A fee agreed as a percentage of the value of the case may not exceed twenty-five per cent. A specific amount requires the file to be discussed with the office.

How and where is a power of attorney for a lawyer obtained?

A power of attorney is drawn up or certified by applying to a notary. Under HMK Article 76, a lawyer must submit to the file, in the cases and matters he or she conducts, the original of the power of attorney certified or drawn up by a notary, or a copy certified by the lawyer. Under HMK Article 74, the power of attorney must contain special authority for acts such as settlement, waiver of claim and acceptance of claim, and for cases concerning strictly personal rights.

How is the confidentiality of the information I give my lawyer protected?

Under Article 36 of the Attorneyship Law, a lawyer may not disclose matters entrusted to him or her or learned by reason of his or her duties. A lawyer's testimony depends on the client's consent; even with consent, the lawyer may refuse to testify. In criminal proceedings, CMK Article 46 grants the lawyer the same right to refuse, and under CMK Article 154 the suspect may meet defence counsel in an environment where others cannot hear what is said.

Is there a "best lawyer in Adana" list?

There is no official ranking of lawyers published by the Adana Bar Association or the Union of Turkish Bar Associations; rankings that appear in searches such as "best lawyers in Adana" or "best lawyers list Adana" have no official status. Therefore, when looking for a suitable lawyer in Adana, a more reliable approach is to look not at lists but at the lawyer's bar registration, his or her work in the area of your dispute and whether the fee is set in a written agreement.

How can free legal assistance (legal aid, adli yardım) be obtained?

Persons who cannot afford lawyers' fees and the costs of proceedings may apply to the bar association's legal aid office (adli yardım bürosu) under Article 176 et seq. of the Attorneyship Law; the applicant must show with evidence that the request is justified. If the request is rejected, an application may be made to the president of the bar association. For court fees and costs of proceedings, legal aid may also be requested under HMK Article 336 from the court that will hear the matter.

I have a case outside Adana; can an Adana lawyer handle it?

Yes. Any lawyer registered on a bar association roll in Türkiye may provide services anywhere in Türkiye, provided that he or she has a principal office. Files heard by courts outside Adana are monitored through UYAP (National Judiciary Informatics System, Ulusal Yargı Ağı Bilişim Sistemi). Matters such as attendance at hearings and travel expenses are clearly set out in the attorney-client fee agreement before work begins.

What is the local advantage of working with an "Adana law office"?

A law office located in Adana can attend hearings, on-site inspections and court-appointed expert examinations in Adana without incurring additional travel costs, and can reach court registries, enforcement offices and the bar association in person. For the client, the most noticeable difference is that documents can be delivered and meetings held quickly in the same city. Work outside Adana is monitored through UYAP.

What is the Adana lawyer's telephone number, and how can the office be reached?

YBS Hukuk Bürosu can be reached 7/24 by telephone and WhatsApp on 0507 007 0 927; in the number, the letter Y corresponds to the digit 9, the letter B to 2 and the letter S to 7.

No:42 Kat:7 D:19 Seyhan/Adana.

Who sets the lawyers' fee tariff in Adana?

Under Article 168 of the Attorneyship Law, the boards of directors of bar associations send their tariff proposals to the Union of Turkish Bar Associations (TBB) in September each year. The TBB Board of Directors prepares the tariff by the end of October, taking into account the proposals of the bar associations, and submits it to the Ministry of Justice. In assessing the fee, the tariff in force on the date on which the legal service was completed or the judgment was rendered is taken as the basis.

How can a lawyer registered with the Adana Bar Association be verified?

Whether the lawyer you are meeting is registered with the Adana Bar Association can be checked through the Adana Bar Association lawyer search service. Under Article 35 of the Attorneyship Law, giving legal opinions, filing cases and conducting judicial proceedings are reserved to lawyers registered with a bar association. The Adana Bar Association registration number of Av. Yakup Buğrahan SEVDİ is 7899.

Is there a fee for asking a lawyer a question online, and how is it done?

A legal question put online is also a request for a legal opinion, and under Article 35 of the Attorneyship Law, giving legal opinions is reserved to lawyers registered with a bar association. The rules on lawyers' fees do not change according to whether the consultation takes place in person, by telephone or in writing; under Article 164, the fee may not be agreed below the tariff. The question can be sent together with the relevant documents to destek@ybshukuk.com.tr or via the WhatsApp line.

How can a lawyer be reached at night or at the weekend?

The telephone and WhatsApp line of YBS Hukuk Bürosu, 0507 007 0 927, is open 7/24, including nights and weekends. In the event of police custody, under CMK Article 149 the suspect may benefit from the assistance of defence counsel at every stage of the criminal investigation, and the lawyer's right to be present while the statement is taken cannot be obstructed. For non-urgent matters, office meetings are scheduled by appointment.

Where can we find the right lawyer in Adana?

The first step in finding the right lawyer in Adana is to verify through the Adana Bar Association lawyer search service that the lawyer you will meet is registered on the bar roll; under Article 35 of the Attorneyship Law, filing cases and conducting judicial proceedings are reserved to lawyers registered with a bar association. Next, the areas of law in which the lawyer works, the office address and the contact details are read on the lawyer's own website; a recommendation from people around you becomes meaningful when assessed together with this information.

What should we look for when searching for a lawyer in Adana?

When searching for a suitable lawyer in Adana, the following should be assessed together: bar registration, relevance to the area of your dispute, a fee set in a written agreement, regular reporting to you of developments in the file, and working practice in the Adana courts. Under Article 163 of the Attorneyship Law, the attorney-client fee agreement covers a specific legal service and fee; under Article 164, the fee may not be agreed below the minimum fee tariff for lawyers. Choosing a lawyer who practises criminal law for a criminal case, and a lawyer who works in family law for a divorce case, makes it easier to manage time limits and procedure correctly.
