Short questions and answers about Turkish Law and Lawyer Cetin Gurcan
Why should you choose Attorney Cetin Gurcan?
Finding a lawyer has become increasingly challenging due to the overwhelming number of lawsuits and daily pressures. Adding to this difficulty, living in Australia, which is far from Turkey in both time zone and location, exacerbates the issue. As a lawyer specializing in Turkish law residing in Australia, I am your ideal choice for accessible and accurate legal information at any time.
What are the advantages I offer you? Let's look at them in 7 points.
Since I live in Australia, I follow the local time zone, making me easily reachable during Australian working hours.
You don't need to use WhatsApp or other internet-based apps to contact me. Instead, you can reach me directly via my Australian number at any time by message or call.
I consider face-to-face meetings crucial. Although the legal profession increasingly relies on digital communication, it remains a solo practice that benefits from personal interaction and mutual negotiation. Therefore, I prioritize meeting with clients throughout Australia to share my legal expertise effectively.
As I mentioned earlier, one of the biggest benefits of face-to-face meetings is establishing a relationship of mutual trust. Since the legal profession relies heavily on trust, meeting in person allows me to share my legal knowledge and introduce myself directly. Online meetings can sometimes make it challenging to build faith, especially with individuals who are far away. In this regard, face-to-face interactions and a mutually trusting attorney-client relationship will give you and me great peace of mind while practicing law.
Additionally, I maintain an active law firm in Turkey, where I continue to handle cases remotely. I regularly meet with my lawyers and clients in Turkey, which keeps my legal knowledge current and enables me to provide the most relevant information on ongoing legal issues.
I am a lawyer who understands and communicates effectively in English. Years of speaking another language have influenced my way of thinking. Even when discussing cases related to Turkey, it is often necessary to explain things in English. Thanks to my legal education and current legal terminology, I can provide clear explanations in English, even if you haven't been to Turkey recently or have forgotten basic Turkish terms.
Although life in Australia might seem appealing from Turkey, I understand the challenges of being an expatriate and addressing issues in a distant country. For nearly two years, I have been navigating these difficulties firsthand. I recognize that individuals with problems often seek emotional support counting practical solutions. Many clients appreciate that I am not just like any Australian advocate, but a bit of someone available and supportive in every way. I firmly believe that a lawyer must carry the psychological and legal burdens of their clients, and I am committed to providing exceptional support in both areas.
How to initiate a lawsuit in Turkey from Australia?
First, I need to accurately assess your needs. Not every issue or dispute requires litigation. If we determine that a lawsuit is necessary, I will ask you to provide a power of attorney to my legal representative. Once you complete this process through our consulates, you will authorize me to start the legal proceedings. After finalizing these steps, I can prepare and file your case using the judicial network platform available to lawyers in Turkey.
How do we conduct our case from Australia?
Of course, I can easily share my legal knowledge, prepare legal petitions, design your case, and outline the strategy. However, accessing judicial networks, courts, judges, or clerks and representing you in court poses a challenge for me. To address this, I collaborate with my lawyer colleagues, friends, and partners throughout Turkey who can handle these tasks on my behalf and provide their support.
Can you contact me to file a lawsuit in Australia concerning Australian law?
I practiced law in Turkey until 2020 and remain registered with the Turkish Bar Association, continuing to provide services in that capacity. However, over the past two years, I have focused extensively on Australian law. Australian courts frequently turn to me for information about Turkish law, and I have even submitted petitions on comparative law to Australian judicial authorities. My strong connections with legal experts and lawyers in Australia enable me to refer you to the right person and remain actively involved in your legal process.
