If you need representation look no further, Michael is a top notch attorney. He is experienced, knowledgeable, and confident in the courtroom. He responded quickly to any questions or concerns regarding my matter. I would highly recommend him to any friends or family in need of an attorney!
Mike is professional and pays attention to every detail. He came to my trial prepared and ready to defend my case. He did this with ease as the judge was obviously convinced within the first few minutes of my innocence. While I hope to never need you again, thanks for the outstanding service you provide Mike!
I devote all of my practice to those charged with crimes ranging from shoplifting to sexual assaults. I have significant experience in District, Superior & Juvenile Courts and was named Massachusetts Lawyer of the Year for a breakthrough Racial Profiling case invovling the Mass State Police. There are many lawyers out there that dabble in criminal defense. Whether you chose to have me represent you, please look for someone who devotes the majority of their practice to criminal defense.
I represent numerous OUI clients as you can see from my client reviews. Please read a few of them as a few of the most recent reviews deal with OUI's that I tried to jury verdicts in 4 different courts and two county's obtaining NOT GUILTY verdicts.You don't want a divorce lawyer in front of a jury for your OUI/DWI.
Not only do I defend domestic Assault & Battery and any other crimes involving violence to property but I will appear on your behalf for restraining orders whether your a defendant or a plaintiff.
I have tried over the last 3 years 2 separate cases involving rape to jury verdicts in Superior Court. I have significant experience in Superior Court and defend probation violations as well.
If you also have been arrested for weapons charges or have had your license to carry revoked by the Chief of Police in your town, I can help with that process.

I made a decision 24 years ago following an internship with the Dade County State's Attorney's Office in Miami that following my graduation from Law School that I would devote all of my practice to criminal defense. My father thought I was crazy and never thought I could sustain a practice like that but following my appearance on the O'Reilly Factor in September of 2003 for a racial-profiling case that received national attention, he looked at me and for the first time in his life, told me he was wrong.
I handle each client with professionalism & bring a vast amount of jury trial experience to the courtroom. I also pride myself on returning every call, text or email prior to leaving for the day.
Client's Choice is an Avvo award granted to attorneys with a significant number of client reviews over 4 stars in a given year.

Harassment prevention order
I consulted and hired Attorney Erlich to defend me against a harassment prevention order. I felt very confident after first meeting with him and he did an excellent job in representing me .The case against me was dismissed . I felt I was represented well by Attorney Erlich with his professionalism expertise and guidance.

Michael got me out of a very big traffic ticket. He was promising and very confident that my ticket would be dropped, and it was in less than 5 minutes! I definitely recommend him and will be recommending him to all of my friends and family.

Oui
The case stretched out over a yr. I was more confident in the beginning than the day of the trial. Mike did his job and provided the best defense he could for my situation. His knowledge and strategy was a success. The outcome was better than anticipated. The OUI was dropped without a trial. What more could you ask from your lawyer?

Excellent attorney.
I was referred to Mike by a close friend. Mike is a true and thorough professional. He is a savior, I was heartbroken, never done anything wrong or seen any court proceeding (except in movies). I was accused of some wrong doing. Mike helped me get an understanding of the court procedure and walked me through of what I should expect. Since all of this happened over the holiday season, unfortunately, Mike in-spite of being on vacation, stayed in touch with me and gave me the confidence needed to fight for what is true. He not only understood my case in the short timeframe, he had, but helped me to think about things differently, instilling confidence in me. Mike delivered the results at a superior level. Victory in my case was a rare and unheard of. I’m truly indebted to Mike for his services to humanity and his passion for doing the right! Thanks to Mike and to the universe for having lawyers like Mike!

Needed a lawyer for a court appearance the next day. Not many answered their lines on a Sunday but Michael responded right away. Great response time, very friendly, and overall a great experience. My case didn’t get pushed too far but Michael was a great help for what was needed. Really appreciated the response time on items. Thank you for your help!

A true legend
Michael is an Angel. Michael had the criminal case dismissed and expounded from my record in just less than 40 days . Very highly recommended and . I have been wrongly accused of criminal charges just before pandemic started , Initially I hired one of the best attorneys in the area to take over my case , after 14 months , that attorney did nothing ! I had to talk to many other attorneys to make decision right this time.Eventually , I switch to Michael and that was my best decision I ever made . There are a lot more details to Michael’s work which I cannot mention here . He is a legend.

Great Lawyer! Overall Excellent Experience
Michael was very helpful with walking me throughout the process of addressing a recent speeding citation. There was excellent communication leading up to the date of the court hearing with all my questions and concerns. Michael had me come into his office during the court hearing being that it was virtual. It was very impressive to see him handle multiple tasks (virtual court hearings) while dealing with my court hearing all at the same time. Seeing that my court hearing was virtual, Michael was able to walk me through what will happen prior to the virtual hearing, making the experience uncomplicated. Michael was able to resolve the citation, resulting in me not being at fault. This was my first time ever seeking legal council for this type of civil matter and Michael was definitely the individual for the job.
Thank You.

Attorney Michael Erlich is the best lawyer in MA. Trust him 100%
THANK YOU SO MUCH ATTORNEY MICHAEL ERLICH. If you’re looking for the best lawyer and you’re reading this review, just text or give Attorney Michael a call RIGHT NOW. I never had any recommendations from anyone about Attorney Michael but he was the first one I saw when I typed into the search bar on google AV. Immediately I read all his 325 reviews all night, I knew he was PERFECT. I guarantee you with my life he will take good care of your situation. This’s my first time ever writing a review. All I did was sent a text message to Attorney Michael at 4:28am and he replied at 6am. “RO CASE False accusations”. Attorney Michael goes above and beyond professionalism because he really cares about you during the most difficult moments in your life when the burden of stress is horrible. If he tells you he can handle your case, at that moment just know your case is in the greatest hands. I wish I could write an article about him. He deserves 10 STARS. My case was Dismissed within 10 minutes trust me, the time is accurate. I thought it was going to take months or years. His services is 10 times more than what he charges. He’s very honest with you, replies to text and calls immediately. Never seen or heard of anyone like him. I feel honored to ever choosing you to represent me. Thank you Attorney Michael Erlich. Stay blessed.

Highly recommend Michael!
Michael responded quickly when I reached him out. He has very positive and confident. If you are looking for a criminal defence lawyer, your search is over. Just trust him and he will take care of you! I would recommend Michael to anyone. I had to go to district court for A & B charge for the majesty’s hearing. The case was settled even before we went to hearing. Both parties agreed with Michael’s proposal. My case was dismissed.
Great lawyer, very nice person. Easy to deal with.

Mike gets it done
This is our first time needing a criminal defense attorney. Our son racked up a long list of charges involving domestic abuse, guns and alcohol all of which started with alcohol. I had to research and retain the right attorney ASAP. Lucky for me I deal with people all the time so I was quickly able to weed out all the attorneys that were not the right one for us. After a brief conversation with Michael Erlich in his office there was no doubt he was the right attorney. Court is not like what you see on TV so don’t expect to see loud and wild action. What you really get is someone who is human and compassionate, someone who will listen to your situation and give you honest advice on what to expect vs. telling you what you want to hear. He wont be visiting you or your loved one in jail much which is good because that means he working on getting you out of jail, besides he already knows how your days are going. When your in the court house he is that guy in the suit who stands out as being the most experienced well rounded attorney there. You can tell by watching his interaction with others that everyone knows him and respects him. There’s no substitute for experience and he’s got it. He knows how to get things done. Our case turned out better than expected. Im not sure that would have been the case if we went with another attorney. Without a doubt if me or my family ever needed an attorney Michael Erlich is on my speed dial. No need to look anywhere else.

Thank you for giving me a second chance in life!
Back in January 2019, I was charged with shoplifting. I’m not proud of it. It’s still one of my biggest regrets in life. I interviewed 4 attorneys and decided to move forward with Attorney Erlich. To be honest, he was on the more expensive side, however he seemed to be the best fit for me. I respected his confidence and credibility. Fast forward to a few weeks later, Attorney Erlich proved my decision right. He was able to have my case dismissed and I was granted the opportunity to rehabilitate myself through a highly life-changing Probation Program. I’m addition, attorney Erlich has promised to help me seal my CORI. He is worth every penny. Thank you again for saving my life!
