Anasayfa / Makalelerimiz / Alanya Criminal Defense Lawyer: Police Investigation, Bail & Court Representation
An Alanya criminal lawyer can assist suspects, defendants, complainants and victims during investigations and criminal proceedings in Turkey. Early legal advice is particularly important after detention, a police interview, a search, seizure of property or receipt of a summons.
Attorney Enes Nergiz is registered with the Antalya Bar Association under registration number 6281 and provides legal assistance in English, Russian and Turkish. Each matter is assessed according to its facts, available evidence and procedural deadlines; no outcome can be guaranteed.
A criminal matter may begin with a complaint, a police operation or information received by the public prosecutor. The investigation stage is generally supervised by the prosecutor. Depending on the evidence, the matter may be closed or an indictment may be filed before the competent criminal court.
Legal assistance may include reviewing the file where access is permitted, attending interviews, preparing statements and petitions, challenging detention measures, requesting or contesting evidence, participating in hearings and assessing appeal options.
If a person has been detained or arrested, relatives should provide the lawyer with the person's full name, nationality, current location if known and any available incident or case reference. Do not send original documents unless specifically requested. Time limits can be short, especially for objections and appeals.
Foreign nationals may require an interpreter and may also face immigration consequences arising from a criminal investigation. Criminal and administrative procedures should therefore be considered together. For residence, deportation or entry-ban issues, see our Alanya immigration lawyer page.
Yes. A defence lawyer may attend the interview and advise the suspect on procedural rights under Turkish law.
Many preliminary steps can be handled remotely. Formal representation may require a notarised power of attorney, depending on the procedure.
Send the summons, police or prosecutor documents, court papers, identification details and a short chronological summary. Additional evidence can be requested after the initial assessment.

Yes. Foreign individuals and companies can execute a special Power of Attorney at any Turkish Consulate abroad or before a notary public in their home country with an Apostille certificate under the 1961 Hague Convention, allowing Attorney Enes Nergiz (Antalya Bar Association No. 6281) to handle title deed transfers, court filings, and administrative appeals without the client traveling to Turkey.
Under Article 706 of the Turkish Civil Code and Article 237 of the Turkish Code of Obligations, contracts transferring real estate ownership are only legally valid if executed officially before the Land Registry Directorate (Tapu) or as a notarized promise-to-sell agreement.
