Melis says that the best way of working for her is: "In counsel-based works, you have to return to the client within the requested time. If there are any missing points, additional inquiries are made to the clients, and then comprehensive research is carried out within the framework of doctrine and judicial decisions. As a result of the research, we give our legal opinion in the most understandable and resolvable manner. As lawyers, we must always keep in mind that our mistakes risk great losses for our clients. In order to minimize these risks, I try to minimize the handicaps of our profession and overcome the problems by making my research comprehensive."
