College is meant to be a time for building your future—not fighting to keep it from being erased. If you are a student facing criminal charges, you are not only dealing with the police. You are also at risk of facing suspension, academic probation, and a permanent mark on your future. At Erkan & Sullivan, PC, we understand how high the stakes are for students. We do not waste time lecturing. We get to work.
With over 42 years of combined experience, our defense attorneys know how to deal with campus hearings, criminal courtrooms, and anxious families. This is not just another case to us, it is your life—and we treat it that way. A Lowell student defense lawyer from our firm will fight fast and hard to keep you in school, out of jail, and to avoid any public record.
Most students are unaware that one night of poor decisions can lead to two separate fights. First, there is the criminal case—ranging from underage drinking to assault or drug dealing. Then, there is the university discipline hearing, where rules and rights can become confusing quickly.
We prepare for both. While other lawyers focus solely on court appearances, we represent students at disciplinary board hearings and help them navigate the school’s administrative process. Whether you are a student at UMass Lowell, Middlesex Community College, or another local institution, our lawyers will defend your record, your enrollment, and your future.
You are not the first student to be in this position, and you do not have to face it alone. Our attorneys in Lowell regularly handle student defense cases involving:
We do not hedge or presume guilt. We thoroughly investigate the facts, challenge the evidence, question authority, and prepare for trial from day one. Most cases do not go that far—but we are ready if they do. Our proactive preparation helps us arrive at better outcomes from the outset.
We are also experienced in working with your school’s administration to minimize academic consequences, keeping you in class and avoiding suspension when possible. One charge should not erase four years of effort, and we take steps to prevent that from happening.
There are many Lowell attorneys who take on defense cases, but not all of them understand how to defend students. We do. Our firm is known for its direct, strategic approach and respected reputation in the courts. Prosecutors know we do not back down, and universities know we do not yield to pressure.
We do not delegate your case to junior associates or interns. You will work directly with seasoned attorneys who have spent decades protecting people like you. This is your opportunity to fight back. Do not settle for someone who just sees you as a file number.
If you are facing criminal charges as a student, the consequences reach far beyond the courtroom. Do not risk your degree, your future job prospects, or your freedom. Call Erkan & Sullivan, PC today. Our Lowell student defense lawyer will provide the clarity, strategy, and aggressive defense you need—right now.
This is your future. Let us safeguard it together.
