What Should You Consider When Choosing an Immigration Lawyer in Istanbul?
Work Directly With a Lawyer
When you work directly with a lawyer, you avoid intermediary commissions and receive legal advice directly from the source.
Avoid Intermediary Companies
Intermediary companies often focus more on commission income than on the legal aspects of your case. As a result, you may face higher costs and receive lower-quality service.
Obtain the Fee Information in Writing
Before starting any procedure, make sure you receive the service fee in writing. At a minimum, request written confirmation via WhatsApp or email.
Ask About Experience
The number of lawyers who actively work in the field of immigration and foreigners law is limited. Attorney Cihat BALTAŞ exclusively accepts cases related to foreigners law and has developed extensive experience in this field.
Ask Whether They Can File Lawsuits
Find out whether the person or institution you plan to work with has the authority to file administrative lawsuits. If litigation becomes necessary, continuing with the same professional can be a significant advantage.
