Volleyball star @ebrarkarakurt18 found herself in a situation where she didn’t get what she was promised. 

We took the case to the CEV against Igor Volley Novara.
✅ All her claims accepted
❌ All counterclaims rejected

A clear win — but more importantly, a reminder: having a lawyer always at your side should be as normal as having an agent or a wealth manager.

Grateful for the trust, Ebrar. 🙏
