A driving under the influence (DUI) conviction is a life-altering event. Under Massachusetts law, you face up to two and a half years in jail, thousands of dollars in fines, a mandatory license suspension, and a permanent criminal record. We will not let that happen without a fight. At Erkan & Sullivan, P.C., we start working the moment you call, dismantling the prosecution’s case piece by piece before it ever reaches trial.
We have over 42 years of combined experience in criminal law, and our reputation is built on being strategic, relentless, and honest. Other criminal defense attorneys talk about plea deals—we talk about winning. If you understand how a conviction could impact your future, you know the importance of hiring a Lawrence DUI lawyer who will go after every weakness in the case against you.
Most DUI arrests start with assumptions—a bad lane change, rolling through a stop, or driving late at night—and end with overreach. We dig into every detail:
We have the technical knowledge to challenge breath test results, the experience to effectively cross-examine officers, and the insight to spot procedural violations that can result in evidence being thrown out. We have seen the prosecution’s playbook, and we know where it fails.
Even if the evidence looks overwhelming—failed breath tests, video footage, or officer testimony—we do not back down. During a Lawrence DUI case, it is your attorney’s job to dismantle the prosecution’s version of events and replace it with the truth.
A first DUI conviction carries a one-year license suspension, though it can be mitigated under the so-called 24D program to a 45-day license loss. For a second offense, you face a two-year suspension, and for a third, you are looking at an eight-year suspension or longer. For some people, that is the same as losing their job, freedom, and independence. License suspension is only the start. You may also face:
We use every legal tool available to avoid these consequences. In most cases, we have secured outright acquittals or dismissals or have negotiated reductions that protect our clients’ records and keep them driving. We also know how to leverage pre-trial diversion programs when they align with your best interests. A knowledgeable defense attorney is crucial to fighting DUI charges in Lawrence.
We are not a high-volume, numbers game law office. We are a focused defense team that handles each DUI case in Lawrence with precision. Our size is intentional—we can devote the time and resources necessary to win tough cases. From day one, you will work directly with experienced lawyers, not a revolving door of junior staff.
We partner with toxicology experts, file motions early, and push back against prosecutors at every stage. We do not waste time with boilerplate legalese. You will know where your case stands, what the next step is, and how we plan to attack the evidence. That is how we have built our reputation as aggressive, meticulous, prepared, and persuasive attorneys.
