What Affects Legal Fees
How Much Does a Lawyer Cost in Turkey?
What actually drives legal fees in Turkey, and how to get a clear quote for your specific matter.
There is no single number that answers "how much does a lawyer cost in Turkey" honestly — a straightforward uncontested divorce and a multi-year commercial dispute are not priced the same way, and any site that gives you one flat figure before knowing your matter is guessing.
What we can tell you in general terms is what actually drives the fee: the complexity and expected duration of the matter, whether it is a fixed-scope task (like drafting a power of attorney) or an open-ended litigation, and whether court or enforcement fees are involved on top of legal fees.
- A written fee proposal provided after an initial review of your specific matter — not a generic price list
- Clear distinction between our legal fees and separate court, notary or enforcement costs set by law
- Fixed-scope pricing available for well-defined tasks such as a power of attorney or a document review
- No obligation to proceed after the initial evaluation

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a fee quote before committing to anything?
Yes — we review the specifics of your matter first and provide a written proposal; there's no obligation to proceed after that initial evaluation.
Are court fees and notary costs included in a lawyer's fee?
No — legal fees are separate from court fees, notary costs and other statutory charges, which are set independently and apply regardless of which lawyer you use.
