third offence DUI wrong way

I was on my way home from my girlfriends sisters house after having a meal and sharing a bottle of wine . We had started to watch a movie afterwards and fell asleep. I woke up startled as to what happened and being late for my overtime at work which was midnight. It was now around 1:am. I had stop...ped for gas in Webster and procceeded down RT 12 to Worcester. My regular shift time is 2:am so I had plenty of time to go home and change. As I drove along RT 12 in Oxford I was folllowed by a state trooper after exit 5. He followed me for over three miles before pulling me over. He got out and asked me what exit I had gotten off of ? puzzeled as to what he was asking me continued to accuse me of driving the wrong way on interstate 395. He said he was dispatched because of numerous calls of a wrong way driver on 395.Knowing I was being profiled when being followed and having two DUI's in the past did not make things pretty at that time of the morning. He asked if I had been drinking which I said yes earlier in the evening at dinner at around 7:pm. Then he asked if I was on 395 and I said yes on my way to Webster at 5:pm. He started to ask what exit I got off of again and that's when I new I was being accused of being the other guy. He asked if I would do a field sobriety and chemicai test which I refused. I was arrested for DUI , driving to endanger ,speeding , and marked lane violation. Wow what to do ? I was refferred to attorney Michael Erlich who I was told is one of the best at criminal law defence. I found attorney Michael Erlich to be friendly, personal, and understanding of your situation and of the law reguarding your case. I had numerous continuences two for me ,one for the trooper, and three for no courtroom availibility. Attorney Michael Erlich had put a lot of time into this case and after 19 months of waiting for my jury trial came out with a not guilty of third offence DUI. Guilty of the other charges with two years probation and classes to take . I found Michael to be well groomed and polished in his craft A great animated speaker in your defence and knowledgible of the laws and how both sides are played. I highly recomened this gentlemen to represent you. Thank you Michael for all you've done to help me ! Bravo !!! RMS

Jury trial 2nd offense oui NOT GUILTY on all charges

Michael Erlich is a extreemly good atturney, in the fact that he knows the laws as well as reading people. my case was not an easy one to fight seeing that i took a breathalizer with a .16 result. As the plea aggrements crossed the table i passed them up knowing that i had a good guy representing me.... Against the odds for succsess in this case we went ahead to jury trial. Waching and listening to atturny Erlich conduct himself as a true proffesional in front of the DA, Juge, and Jury was reasuring that i had made the right choice. thruout the trial mike had a calmness about him that was right for case. The opening and closing statements put every one at ease especially me, and the cross examination was done with pin point accuracy that made lite of the possitives during my arrest. When the jury came out from deliberating it was the most nerve rattling moment of my life. when the jurror started with the first not guilty it was hard to contain myself and apon leaving the courtroom atturny Erlich shook my hand and congradulated me, but not without me congradulating him. He won it he did all the work i just hired the best guy for the job. Thanks again

Finding the right lawyer

I was in some legal trouble with an O.U.I. 4th Offense. I had not been in any kegal trouble for more than 22 years. I needed a lawyer that would see my side of this legal issue. Things that happen in life are not always black and white. Just because you are arrested and charged, does not mean that y...ou are automatically guilty. Mike Erlich helped me prove that point. I was feeling like there was no one to turn to and my life was going to be dramatically changed forever. A friend of mine had recommended Mike to me while I was in search of an attorney. Mike helped me and my family through this time and treated me with all the care and respect you could ever ask for.Iowe my life to him.He is educated well in laws and cares about his clients as if it were himself on trial. Or his own family member.I would strongly recommend that anyone in need of an attorney, to give this gentleman a phone call..

Need a great DUI attorney? First, Second, or Third offense?

I can not thank Attorney Michael Erlich enough. I was arrested for what would have been my third Drunk driving and refused the chemical test. By refusing the test, it was automatic 5 year loss of license with no eligibility for a hardship license. Whether i was found inocent or guilty I was looking a...t no chance of getting my license back for 5 years. The case went to trial, I was found not guilty, and 2 years later I have my license back. Attorney Erlich's professionalism and prompt response time was second to none.

Easy to work with

I have worked with Michael on two occasions, with both of my cases he was very good. On my second case he had my OUI dismissed all together. He is easy to talk to, contact, and he explains clearly the pros and cons of going to trail with the case. And even through out the court process he explains... how the decisions made effect you. I would definitely recommend him to anyone going through this sort of situation.
