Legal notice for the Fethiye Lawyer website

Who operates yanatmalaw.com?

This website is operated for Av. Seyfullah Yanatma, an independent avukat (lawyer) registered with the Muğla Bar Association. The operator’s office is at Akarca Mah. 878. Sk. No:55/1/2, 48300 Fethiye/Muğla, Türkiye. The published telephone and WhatsApp number is +90 531 507 41 44, and the e-mail address is info@yanatmalaw.com. Published office hours are Monday to Friday, 09:00–17:00.

The About page gives professional background. Current contact routes and the information useful for an initial enquiry are available on the contact page.

Is this website’s content legal advice?

The pages are written as general information about Turkish law, procedure and local legal terminology for foreign readers and others trying to understand a subject. A page cannot examine every fact, document, deadline, authority decision or later change in legislation. Examples, explanations and links to official sources are not a legal opinion about a particular person’s circumstances.

The reader remains responsible for checking the current law and the requirements of the competent authority before signing, paying, travelling, filing or making another decision. A search result, page summary or general explanation must not replace advice based on the relevant documents. Information can become outdated when legislation, administrative practice, court interpretation or a published service changes.

When does a lawyer-client relationship begin?

Visiting the site, reading a guide, clicking a phone or WhatsApp button, opening an e-mail draft or sending an initial enquiry does not by itself create a lawyer-client relationship. A professional relationship begins only when Av. Yanatma and the person concerned separately agree to undertake the relevant legal work and the required terms and authority are settled. Sending information before that point does not mean that representation has been accepted.

An initial message should therefore contain enough information to identify the broad issue and any urgent date, but no unnecessary passport number, health record, criminal detail, financial record or other sensitive material. A person should not assume that a message has been reviewed, that a deadline has been protected or that any filing has been made until this has been expressly arranged.

What happens if you act on website information?

The site is provided for general educational and orientation purposes. Av. Yanatma does not accept responsibility for a decision made solely from a page, an external source linked from a page or an incomplete description of a legal matter. This statement does not remove any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded; it explains why a reader must obtain matter-specific advice before acting.

Deadlines can be short, and the correct route may depend on service of a decision, the location of property, the type of court, a person’s status or the wording of a contract. The foreign-client page gives practical context for instructing a Turkish lawyer from abroad, but it also does not replace advice on an individual file.

How are enquiries and technical requests handled?

The site is a static Cloudflare Pages site. Its public pages have no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies. The public website uses self-hosted fonts. Cloudflare can process technical request information, such as IP address and browser or system data, to deliver and protect the site; Cloudflare’s own Privacy Policy governs that provider’s processing.

The browser form does not post information to this website or store it in a site database. It prepares a message and opens WhatsApp, a Meta service, or the visitor’s e-mail programme. If the visitor sends the message, it reaches Av. Yanatma by WhatsApp or e-mail, and the relevant provider may process it under its own terms. A telephone call reaches the published number directly. The /admin/ editor is a private owner-only content editor, not a public client portal; its GitHub sign-in uses a short-lived security cookie. The privacy notice describes these routes and data matters in detail.

What copyright rules apply?

Unless a page identifies material as belonging to another source, the original text, selection and arrangement of content, site design, logos and other site material are protected by applicable intellectual-property rules. Copying, republishing, adapting, selling, framing or distributing substantial material without permission is not authorised. A reader may refer to a page by linking to the relevant URL, but a link does not transfer ownership or grant a licence to reuse the material.

Official legislation and third-party material remain subject to their own rights and terms. Nothing here claims ownership of an external authority’s legislation, logo, service or publication. Mandatory rights and permitted uses under applicable law remain unaffected.

What should you know about external links?

The site may link to official Turkish institutions, Cloudflare, WhatsApp or other third-party services. External sites operate independently and can change their content, availability, security and privacy practices without notice. A link is provided to help a reader locate a resource; it is not a guarantee of the external site, a statement that its content is complete or an endorsement of a third party.

Before submitting information to WhatsApp, an e-mail provider, GitHub or another external service, review that service’s current terms and privacy information. Use the official source and current competent authority for a legal deadline or filing requirement.

The privacy notice and the contact page explain the available communication routes. The site’s legal information may be updated when its operator, technology or the relevant law changes.
