Legal Solutions in Adana Built on Trust and Experience

Law, beyond being a body of rules, is a guide that shows the way at important turning points in the lives of individuals and businesses. The disputes encountered in the social and commercial life of Adana are spread across different branches of law, each of which calls for its own knowledge and care. Taking the principle of the rule of law as its basis, YBS Hukuk Bürosu aims to provide reliable and transparent legal support to its clients in the course of seeking their rights.

Every legal problem has a structure of its own. In criminal proceedings, what is at stake is liberty; in a divorce case, the most private moments of family life; in enforcement proceedings, the timely collection of the receivable; and in the division of an estate, the fair sharing of a lifetime's labour. All of these areas call, in addition to knowledge of the legislation, for foresight, meticulous work and a humane approach that understands the client's situation. Our aim is the same in all our areas of practice: to set out the legal path clearly and comprehensibly for every client.

YBS Hukuk Commentary

The most valuable service a lawyer can provide to a client is, just as much as a case won, preventive advice that ensures the dispute never reaches the litigation stage. Legal problems often begin with a minor oversight or an overlooked detail. A properly drafted employment contract can prevent, from the outset, an employment case that might otherwise be brought later; a testament drawn up in accordance with the required procedure can prevent an inheritance dispute lasting for years; and a soundly structured commercial agreement can prevent intractable enforcement proceedings. Consulting a lawyer before carrying out an important legal transaction is often less costly than resolving the problem afterwards.

Our Philosophy and Working Principles

The working method of YBS Hukuk Bürosu is built on the obligations of the legal profession laid down by law. The following principles form the basis of the relationship of trust established with the client:

  • Trust and transparency first: Faced with the complexity of legal proceedings, what the client needs most is clear information. We make it a principle to explain the steps to be taken and the possible outcomes in plain language.
  • Field-specific experience: Each branch of law has its own rules and time limits. The meticulousness of a criminal investigation is maintained with the same care in the delicate balances of family law, the determination shown in enforcement proceedings in insurance compensation processes, and the sense of equity in employment law in the division of estates.
  • Client-specific strategy: Behind every file lies the future of a person, a family or a business. Instead of standard solutions, each client's particular situation is assessed and a roadmap suited to the file is drawn up.
  • Confidentiality: Information disclosed to a lawyer by reason of their professional duty is not revealed; this principle is protected by law.
Attorneyship Law No 1136, Article 34

"Avukatlar, yüklendikleri görevleri bu görevin kutsallığına yakışır bir şekilde özen, doğruluk ve onur içinde yerine getirmek ve avukatlık unvanının gerektirdiği saygı ve güvene uygun biçimde davranmak ve Türkiye Barolar Birliğince belirlenen meslek kurallarına uymakla yükümlüdürler."
"Lawyers are obliged to perform the duties they undertake with care, integrity and honour befitting the sanctity of that duty, to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the respect and trust required by the title of lawyer, and to comply with the professional rules laid down by the Union of Turkish Bar Associations." (Unofficial translation)

Attorneyship Law No 1136, Article 36/1

"Avukatların, kendilerine tevdi edilen veya gerek avukatlık görevi, gerekse, Türkiye Barolar Birliği ve barolar organlarındaki görevleri dolayısiyle öğrendikleri hususları açığa vurmaları yasaktır."
"Lawyers are prohibited from disclosing matters entrusted to them or which they have learned by reason of either their duties as lawyers or their duties in the organs of the Union of Turkish Bar Associations and the bar associations." (Unofficial translation)

Warning from YBS: Do Not Be Misled by “Best” or “Guaranteed Result” Claims When Choosing a Lawyer

It is understandable that someone seeking legal support may search for phrases such as "best lawyer in Adana" or "lawyer who is sure to win the case". However, no lawyer can know the outcome of a case in advance; the outcome depends on the evidence, the claims and defences of the parties, the assessment of the court and the available appellate remedies. Legislation on the legal profession also prohibits lawyers from any initiative that may be regarded as advertising and from actions aimed at placing themselves ahead of their colleagues:

Attorneyship Law No 1136, Article 55/1

"Avukatların iş elde etmek için, reklam sayılabilecek her türlü teşebbüs ve harekette bulunmaları ve özellikle tabelalarında ve basılı kağıtlarında avukat unvanı ile akademik unvanlarından başka sıfat kullanmaları yasaktır."
"Lawyers are prohibited from engaging in any initiative or action that may be regarded as advertising in order to obtain work, and in particular from using on their signs and printed papers any designation other than the title of lawyer and their academic titles." (Unofficial translation)

Union of Turkish Bar Associations Regulation on the Prohibition of Advertising, Article 11

"Bu Yönetmelik kapsamında olanlar; salt ün kazanmaya, kendilerini meslektaşlarının önüne geçirmeye, reklam yoluyla iş elde etmeye yönelik her tür girişim ve eylemlerden kaçınmak, iş elde etmek için reklam sayılabilecek her hangi bir girişim ve eylemde bulunmamak, üçüncü kişilerin kendileri için reklam sayılabilecek bu tür eylem ve davranışlarına izin vermemek, engel olmak için gerekli önlemleri almakla yükümlüdürler."
"Those within the scope of this Regulation are obliged to refrain from any attempt and action aimed solely at gaining fame, at placing themselves ahead of their colleagues or at obtaining work through advertising; not to engage in any attempt or action that may be regarded as advertising in order to obtain work; and not to permit such actions and conduct of third parties that may be regarded as advertising for them, and to take the necessary measures to prevent them." (Unofficial translation)

Be cautious when you come across an advertisement promising a definite outcome. The choice of the right lawyer should be made on the basis of the areas in which the lawyer works, the communication they establish with you and the realistic roadmap they put before you. The foundation of law is not bold promises but concrete evidence and sound legal reasoning.

How Can Calls and Messages Received in the Name of a Law Office Be Verified?

Messages sent using the name of a law office or a lawyer and demanding urgent payment are a common form of scam. Genuine enforcement proceedings have a file opened at an enforcement office and a file number; when you receive an alarming message, verify this information yourself before making any payment:

  • Ask for the name and bar registration number of the lawyer named in the message, and confirm this information with the bar association where they are registered.
  • Instead of calling the number in the message, call the number shown on the office's own website and in its business listing on maps; the official line of YBS Hukuk published on its website and in its business listing is 0507 007 0 927.
  • If a file number and an enforcement office have been given, check this information yourself through the e-Government Gateway (e-Devlet) or the UYAP Citizen Portal (UYAP Vatandaş Portalı), without using the link in the message.
  • Where a message asks you to send money to a personal account or puts pressure on you with statements such as "if you do not pay today, your assets face attachment", consult a lawyer before making a decision and keep a screenshot of the message.

We Stand by You in Your Search for Justice!

At YBS Hukuk Bürosu, we believe that law does not consist solely of rules and statutes, and that at its foundation lie people and the search for justice. We work without compromising on the principles of honesty, transparency and diligence; whatever legal problem you face, we aim to make the process more understandable and less exhausting for you, and directed towards a fair outcome.

To obtain advice on a legal matter, learn about your rights or receive support in ongoing proceedings, you can reach us through the channels on the Adana lawyer contact details page, or send a WhatsApp message to 0507 007 0 927.

Useful Information from YBS: What Is Legal Aid and Who Can Benefit from It?

Legal aid (adli yardım) is a service run by bar associations that enables persons who cannot afford lawyers' fees to benefit from the services of a lawyer. Its statutory definition and the unit that provides the service are as follows:

Attorneyship Law No 1136, Article 176

"Adli yardım, avukatlık ücretlerini ve diğer yargılama giderlerini karşılama olanağı bulunmayanlara bu Kanunda yazılı avukatlık hizmetlerinin sağlanmasıdır."
"Legal aid is the provision of the services of lawyers set out in this Law to those who are unable to meet lawyers' fees and other costs of proceedings." (Unofficial translation)

Attorneyship Law No 1136, Article 177/1

"Adli yardım hizmeti, baro merkezlerinde, baro yönetim kurullarınca avukatlar arasından oluşturulan adli yardım bürosu tarafından yürütülür. Baro yönetim kurulu, ayrıca baro merkezi dışında avukat sayısı beşten çok olan her yargı çevresinde de bir avukatı adli yardım bürosu temsilcisi olarak görevlendirebilir. Büro ve temsilciler, baro yönetim kurulunun gözetimi altında çalışırlar."
"Legal aid services are carried out at bar association headquarters by the legal aid office formed by the bar association's board of directors from among lawyers. The board of directors of the bar association may also appoint a lawyer as legal aid office representative in each judicial district outside the bar association headquarters where there are more than five lawyers. The office and the representatives work under the supervision of the board of directors of the bar association." (Unofficial translation)

The application is made, pursuant to Article 5 of the Legal Aid Regulation of the Union of Turkish Bar Associations, to the legal aid office at the place where the service is to be provided. The applicant must sign the application form and the letter of undertaking, and must give the acknowledgement of the privacy notice and the explicit consent statement; the documents required are listed in the annex to the regulation. In Adana, applications are made to the legal aid office of the Adana Bar Association. A person whose application is rejected may apply to the president of the bar association within ten days of notification.
