Your matter is here.
You needn’t be.
All of that law sits in one country, in one language, under one set of rules — and you are reading this from somewhere else. Here is how that distance stops being your problem.
Where you stand
You’re abroad. The matter is in Türkiye. You don’t speak the language, the courts keep their own hours, and every form seems to ask for one more. What you need is not advice from a distance — it’s someone already on the ground.
That person shouldn’t need you to fly in, learn the system, or wait on a translation to understand your own case. It should run while you live your life.

Onur Çalışıcı · Beyaz TVReal-Estate Investment Scams in Türkiye
On TV100, founding partner Att. Oruç Aygün breaks down the property-investment scams that target foreign buyers — and how to avoid them.
Oruç Aygün · TV100I found Mr. Onur when I searched for lawyers with experience in debt collection in Turkey. My company's sales team had tried to collect the payment for 1.5 years unsuccessfully — he resolved our issue within 3 weeks. Perfect English, immense experience; I would strongly recommend him for all legal matters in Turkey.
Very professional, they helped me perfectly with my case. Available and very competent, definitely recommended.
Highly recommended. They are serious and professional. This is what we could witness. All the best.
