Criminal Defense Lawyer in Esenyurt

If you are looking for a criminal defense lawyer in Esenyurt, you are in the right place. In criminal proceedings, retaining a lawyer from the investigation stage onward prevents the loss of rights during police statements and interrogation. Whether you are a suspect, a defendant, or a victim, professional defense is vital at every stage — custody, pre-trial detention, and trial alike. Your case is handled by a lawyer familiar with the practice of Büyükçekmece Courthouse.

Criminal Law Services for Esenyurt

With a population approaching two million, Esenyurt is Turkey's most populous district. Intense migration, a large labor market, and an active housing sector generate strong legal demand in employment, enforcement, criminal, and family law.

We serve our clients in Esenyurt across a broad spectrum — from employee receivables to eviction actions, and from criminal investigations to divorce proceedings — following their files in person at the Büyükçekmece Courthouse.

Criminal proceedings are the field of law that most directly affects personal liberty. A mistake made when giving a statement can affect the entire trial. This is why defense counsel should be retained from the very first moment of the investigation. Our office represents clients at every stage of criminal proceedings — from offenses within the jurisdiction of the assize (heavy penal) courts to cases before the criminal courts of first instance, and from victim-offender mediation (uzlaştırma) to appellate and cassation applications. When acting for victims, we diligently pursue applications to join the proceedings and compensation claims to remedy the harm caused by the offense. Learn more about Criminal Law →

Frequently Asked Questions

Criminal Defense Lawyer in Esenyurt — FAQ

For an assessment of your specific case, please book an appointment.

No — you are strongly advised to consult a lawyer before giving any statement. What you say during the statement forms the foundation of the investigation file and is extremely difficult to correct later; a contradiction in the first statement can become the weakest point of the defense at later stages of the trial. Under CMK Art. 147, you must be reminded of your rights before the statement: the right to remain silent except as to your identity details, the right to choose defense counsel and benefit from their legal assistance, the right to request that the bar association appoint a free lawyer if your financial situation does not allow one, and the right to request the collection of evidence in your favor. Giving a statement in the presence of defense counsel is your legal right and cannot be held against you; the lawyer checks the lawfulness of the questions and ensures the record accurately reflects what you said. Clarifying the capacity in which you are summoned (witness or suspect) is also important, because your rights differ according to that capacity. If you contact our office before the statement date, the scope of the file is assessed and the statement is prepared together; for urgent situations, we try to arrange a same-day consultation.

In individually committed offenses, custody may not exceed 24 hours from the moment of apprehension, excluding the time necessarily required to bring the person before the nearest judge or court (CMK Art. 91). In collectively committed offenses, the public prosecutor may extend this period by written order — each extension not exceeding one day — for up to 3 additional days; in that case, the total period can reach 4 days.

Yes. The apprehended person, defense counsel, or relatives may apply to the criminal judgeship of peace against the decision to take the person into custody or to extend the custody period. The judge must examine the application on the file and decide immediately, and in any event within 24 hours at the latest (CMK Art. 91/5).

Pre-trial detention requires that concrete evidence demonstrating strong suspicion of the offense coexist with one of the detention grounds listed in CMK Art. 100 (risk of flight, an attempt to tamper with evidence, or strong suspicion of one of the specific serious offense categories listed in the law); a detention order cannot be issued if it is disproportionate to the significance of the matter. Detention cannot be ordered for offenses punishable only by a judicial fine or by imprisonment with an upper limit not exceeding two years (except intentional offenses against bodily integrity).
