Needed an experienced lawyer for driving under the influence case in worcester

About a year ago I had a car accident and I was arrested for oui. I have medical issues and on that day something medical happened to me to have a car accident. Unfortunately the police found something in the car and assumed I was under the influence. Mr. Erlich made me feel at ease when I thought I ...was looking at losing my privilege to drive forever. He listened and worked with me. He attacked the police officer at court. Not guilty! Thanks Mr. Erlich

Good Attorney

Michael was retained to assist me with several driving infractions including an alleged DUI, Driving w/suspended license, attaching M/V plates, Driving While Uninsured and several other motor vehicle infractions. The police officer was intent on building his case by adding as much as many violations... as he possibly could. Michael was able to successfully argue the case which resulted in a traffic misdemeanor plea with a only a fine and a continued without a finding on one other infraction. All other charges were dropped including the DUI. His ability to present a realistic account of the case was critical to the successful outcome. I would recommend Michael based on his expert knowledge and courtroom presentation among his other many legal skills.

OUI and Child Endangerment

I was arrested and child endangerment and also operating while under alcohol influence, I took breath test at time of arrest and had very high alcohol in me, twice the legal limits. Mike was very reassuring and did guide me through every step, He is highly respected in the court rooms, on final tri...al day, my child endangerment charge was dismissed and for the OUI i got a CWOF. Mike is a great lawyer, I highly recommend him.

Professional, courteous and Well Respected

My decision to hire Michael was almost immediate. I interviewed three other attorneys before meeting with him and made my decision after 30 minutes of conversation. He responded to my call personally and immediately. He is a straight shooter and knows the system well. The three prior attorneys I i...nterviewed were looking to book a trial out six months which wouldn't have worked for me. At the arraignment my pre- trial conference was scheduled for January 2014. I retained Michael and within 15 minutes he called me back and changed my pre trial date to December 2013 and my trial went forward in January 2014 with a Not Guilty verdict. So from the date of the offense to the date of the trial it was not even two months and I got my license back with no restrictions. Not to mention I refused the chemical test which is an automatic suspension of license for 180 days. This speaks volumes to me and confirms that Michael is well respected and knows how to get things done. This was my first offense and my life changed drastically for those two months I can't imagine waiting six months. Michael is a fair and honest man and I appreciate all the effort he put forth on my behalf. So I thank him and highly recommend him to anyone experiencing the same type of situation. One thing to remember even though you are found not guilty the process is not over. I still had to appear before a Hearing Officer at the Registry and in order to reinstate my license I had to pay $500.00 because I refused the chemical test. Michael does not handle that portion of the process. I was impressed with the obvious respect from his peers. He explained the two ways we could defend my case and it went exactly as he said. It is very difficult to put you trust and life in the hands of a complete stranger but I did and I was very happy with my choice. So if you need a trustworthy professional attorney you cannot go wrong. Thanks again.

Great lawyer

I hired mike to represent me for an oui case. Shortly after contacting him I was in his office for a free consultation. I was so impressed with his personality and confidence in my case I hired him on the spot. Mike was in constant contact with me and listened to my concerns especially when dates of... hearings were going to change. He definitely took my needs into consideration. I would recommend Mike to anyone facing an oui court case.
