Personal details: Duygu Altun-Turak, lawyer
I have been working as a lawyer since 2009 and during this time I have assisted clients in a wide variety of legal situations - from criminal proceedings threatening their existence to amicable divorces.
My focus today is on Criminal law. Here it is crucial to act with experience, assertiveness and strategic foresight. As a criminal defence lawyer, I support my clients in all phases of the proceedings - from the initial questioning to the main hearing.
In addition, I represent clients in Labour lawin particular in dismissal protection claims and severance negotiations, as well as in the Migration lawwhere I support people with residence and naturalisation issues. Also in the Family lawespecially in amicable divorces, I support clients with the aim of finding fair and viable solutions. My many years of experience in Insurance law complements this profile.
What sets me apart is the combination of legal expertise and authenticity. I act clearly, directly and with conviction - at the same time approachable and human. Particularly in situations that push people to their limits, my aim is to stand by your side with both legal excellence and personal reliability.
In my work, I am guided by values that go beyond everyday legal practice: Self-determination, strength and authenticity. These principles guide me - in the office, in the courtroom and in my public presence. This creates a unified image: a lawyer who not only speaks the law, but also shows attitude.

Strong in law - solutions for your future
Consistent criminal defence & amicable divorce - clear, efficient, humane.
Criminal law - consistent defence
In criminal law, every step counts. Whether in preliminary proceedings, in the main trial or in complex white-collar criminal proceedings - I represent you with experience, clear strategy and assertiveness. Your right to defence is non-negotiable - and I fight to ensure that it is upheld.
Amicable divorce - fair, fast, efficient
Not every separation has to end in a dispute. With a divorce by mutual consent, we create a solution that saves time, money and nerves. I will guide you through the entire process - in a legally sound, humanly fair and clearly structured.
Strong in law. Authentic in appearance.
Authenticity, strength and clarity characterise my work - in the courtroom as well as in personal counselling.
