Being charged with a felony DUI is a life-altering event. You face potential jail time, steep fines, loss of your driver’s license, and a criminal record that could follow you for decades. You need a DUI defense attorney who knows the law, the courts, and aggressive tactics to fight back against prosecutors determined to use you as an example to others.
At Erkan & Sullivan, P.C., our defense team brings over 40 years of combined experience to the courtroom. We have earned our reputation for being strategic, relentless, and honest, and we are a firm that does not make excuses or take shortcuts. When you are facing harsh state penalties for a DUI, we are the team you want on your side. We do not back down, and we do not take your case lightly.
A Lowell felony DUI lawyer from our firm will provide the precision, preparation, and persistence your case demands.
Under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 90 § 24, an operating under the influence (OUI) charge becomes a felony DUI when certain aggravating factors are present, such as multiple prior offenses, serious bodily injury, or a DUI with a child in the car. Convictions can lead to mandatory minimum jail sentences, multi-year license suspensions, ignition interlock requirements, and permanent felony records.
The state takes these cases seriously, and so do our attorneys. From the moment you contact our office, we begin dissecting the prosecution’s evidence — breathalyzer results, field sobriety tests, police reports, and dashcam footage. Our goal is to find the weaknesses and use them to your advantage. Breath and blood tests are not infallible, and officers often make procedural errors during traffic stops. One mistake can change the entire case.
If your case involves an accident or injury, prosecutors will push hard for a conviction. Our lawyers know how to counter those tactics with factual, legal, and procedural defenses. Our Lowell attorneys also look for ways to challenge prior convictions that could elevate your DUI case to a felony level.
Our DUI defense attorneys understand how serious these cases are, and we fight them with the intensity they deserve.
At Erkan & Sullivan, P.C., our attorneys have handled hundreds of OUI and felony-level criminal cases in Lowell and across the state. We are meticulous litigators known for our rigor and performance in the courtroom.
Clients come to us because we:
Our firm knows what does and does not work. We do not rely on quick plea deals or unfulfilled promises. We prepare every case as if it is going to trial — because preparation is power.
If you are not a U.S. citizen, a felony conviction could also result in immigration consequences, including deportation. We take these additional risks seriously and develop strategies that protect your record, your license, and your future.
A felony DUI charge does not have to define your future — it is the start of your defense. The attorneys at Erkan & Sullivan, P.C. have decades of experience fighting complex DUI and felony cases across the state. We know the system, the law, and how to protect you from life-changing penalties.
