In Turkish Law, there is no obligation to hire a lawyer. However, when you take into account that a lawyer has years of legal education, legal knowledge and professional experience, he/she will be of great help to you and, moreover, will prevent you from losing procedural rights in lawsuits. If you are not absolutely sure that you are familiar with the law and procedure, seek the assistance of a lawyer. If your financial situation does not allow you to hire a lawyer, do not forget that you have the right to apply to your provincial bar association and request the appointment of a lawyer within the scope of “Legal Aid”.
