There is no legal requirement to hire a lawyer under Turkish law. However, considering that a lawyer has undergone years of legal education, understands legal concepts, and possesses professional experience, they can be of great assistance to you and help you avoid procedural errors in court cases. If you are unsure whether you have sufficient knowledge of the law and legal procedures, seek assistance from a lawyer. If your financial situation does not allow you to hire a lawyer, please remember that you have the right to apply to the bar association in your province to request the assignment of a lawyer under the “Legal Aid” program.
