DO I HAVE TO HIRE LAWYER? AND LEGAL AID?
In Turkish law, there is no obligation to hire lawyer. However, remember that a lawyer will be very helpful to you when you consider that he / she has received years of legal education and has gained legal notion and professional experience. And he/she will also help you avoid procedural loss of rights in the cases. If you are not sure if you are familiar with the law and procedure, seek the help of a lawyer. If your financial situation is not appropriate to hire a lawyer, please note that you have the right to apply to your local provincial bar and ask for a lawyer to be appointed within the scope of “legal aid”.
