Every step taken in criminal proceedings, from the first moment of an investigation to the final judgment, directly shapes the outcome. Whether you are a suspect, defendant, complainant or intervening party, we stand by you at every stage.
In criminal proceedings, the stage that most affects the outcome is often the first days of the investigation. The right to have a lawyer present during questioning, the right to remain silent and the right to challenge custody and detention decisions are all exercised at this stage. Since statements given during the investigation can be used as evidence at trial, obtaining legal support before giving a statement is essential.
Criminal cases connected to crypto assets, payment systems and capital markets transactions require technical and sector knowledge alongside legal analysis. When blockchain transaction records, platform data, bank movements and MASAK processes are assessed together, both the prosecution's case and the defence can be examined on far firmer ground.
Turkish criminal procedure provides two weeks for an appeal to the regional court of appeal and fifteen days for an appeal to the Court of Cassation. When the period starts depends on whether the judgment was announced in the presence of the defendant and on service of the reasoned judgment. Missing the deadline makes the judgment final.
Important: If you become aware of an investigation or are summoned to give a statement, speaking with your lawyer before making any statement is the soundest way to protect your rights.
