Turkish criminal law can be summarised under two main headings: the criminal procedure law, which deals with the procedure of criminal proceedings such as the legality of the evidence, and the substantive criminal law, which focuses of the types and elements of crimes. Within the scope of the criminal procedure law, our law firm provides legal consultancy along with any other assistance which our clients require of in proceedings including any type of detention, arrest, search and seizure along with statements in law enforcement authorities.
