Criminal proceedings are one of the areas where legal assistance is most needed and also considered important in Turkish Law. If an individual is involved in a criminal investigation and prosecution, they have fundamental rights to protect during this process. These rights include the right to a fair and impartial trial, the right to defense, and the requirement for the trial process to be open and transparent.

​

However, if an active defense is not made during this process, an individual's freedom can be restricted or they can be punished for a crime they wouldn't normally be punished for. They can also face a higher penalty than they would normally receive. For this reason, protecting an individual's rights and opportunities provided by the law to the fullest extent becomes important in Turkish Law.

​

During criminal proceedings, the role of lawyers is significant. Lawyers are responsible for ensuring the protection of the individual's rights and that the punishment is fair. Furthermore, lawyers should also follow the trial process to determine whether the crime was committed and, if necessary, intervene against violations of rights during this process. In Turkish Law, the role and responsibilities of lawyers in criminal proceedings are clearly defined, and for this reason, obtaining legal assistance in criminal proceedings is important for protecting an individual's rights.
