Criminal law is a highly sensitive branch of law that directly affects individuals' freedom, fundamental rights, and reputation, with the potential for severe consequences. Facing a criminal accusation or being the victim of a crime can be one of the most challenging and stressful experiences in life. Every step taken during this critical process can have a decisive impact on your future. It is precisely at this point that we, at Yılmaz DERVİŞ Law Office, stand by your side with our in-depth knowledge, experience, and client-focused approach.
Criminal proceedings consist of two fundamental stages: the Investigation and the Prosecution, each with its own unique dynamics and legal procedures. We are here to guide you from the very beginning to the end of this process, to meticulously protect your rights, and to fight for justice to be served.
Our Legal Support During the Investigation Stage:
-
Are you under suspicion of a crime? Or have you been the victim of one? Taking the right steps from the very first moment is vital. With our service of preparing legally sound and robust Criminal Complaints and Petitions, we ensure the process starts correctly.
-
Having a professional lawyer by your side during statements before law enforcement (Police/Gendarmerie) and the Prosecutor's Office is critical to protecting your rights and ensuring your testimony is accurately recorded. We accompany you throughout these processes, providing you with legal assurance.
-
We challenge unjust or disproportionate measures by lodging legally robust objections to restrictive measures such as detention, arrest, or judicial control orders.
-
During hearings before the Criminal Peace Judgeships, we exercise your right to defense in the most effective manner, presenting favorable evidence and powerfully articulating our legal arguments.
Legal Representation During the Prosecution (Trial) Stage:
-
In the trial phase, which begins with the acceptance of the indictment, we represent you before the Basic Criminal and High Criminal Courts. Whether in the Defense of the Accused or the Representation of the Aggrieved Party (the victim of the crime), we meticulously examine every detail of your file, gather all favorable evidence, prepare witnesses, and defend you in the most robust manner before the court.
-
Should the court's decision be against you, we do not abandon the legal fight. We prepare applications for Appeal (to the Regional Court of Justice) and Cassation (to the Court of Cassation - Yargıtay), ensuring your file is reviewed by a higher court.
The criminal law process, due to its complexity and potentially severe outcomes, requires expertise and diligence. To avoid the loss of rights, to ensure a fair trial, and to protect your freedom or other legal rights, seeking professional legal assistance is your most fundamental right.
We, at Yılmaz DERVİŞ Law Office, are by your side to guide you through the criminal law challenges you face, to develop legal strategies, and to defend your rights at the highest level. Do not hesitate to contact us for reliable and effective legal representation.
