Testimonials

Today marks a day to remember… the words case dismiss were remarkable, and thanks to the Attorneys Erkan and Sullivan for taking a chance to prove the court Kelvin’s innocence! My husband Kelvin made a mistake in the past, and after going through many other attorneys, time and money waisted to get this case dismiss, then when we thought hope was lost The Law Office of Erkan and Sullivan was sent to us through a miracle! They did a great job proving to the court that an injustice was being made to Kelvin by no one wanting to take a chance to defend him. We will be forever grateful with Erkan and Sullivan, thanks for taking a chance and giving Kelvin an opportunity of full freedom!

If you’re looking for the best defense attorney in the state of Massachusetts, you’re gonna find it here with Attorney Sullivan. Attorney Sullivan has the unique ability to get to know a clients and present his case with every detail that he has seamlessly memorized. The confidence that he presents for his clients is unlike any other. I think that the piece that sets attorney Sullivan apart is his compassion and lack of judgment towards people in their time of need. I truly believe his ability to make a client feel comfortable, allows him the knowledge and understanding of a case that other attorneys just don’t have. Thank you for everything you do in keeping our system balanced.

We have had the misfortune to need a criminal defense attorney since January of 2020. Worked with Murat Erkan ever since and have also worked Ryan Sullivan since he joined the practice. It would be hard to imagine more caring and competent criminal defense attorneys. They have gone a above and beyond on many occasions. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of a criminal defense.

Erkan and Sullivan Deliver Results, Regardless of Your Past! I’ve been through a lot, including a serious federal drug case in the past. After doing my 13 year sentence, the government came after me again, claiming I was back in the game and charged me with conspiracy. I was looking at up to 20 years in prison—my future was on the line. Murat and Ryan stepped in and took control of the situation. They filed a motion to suppress evidence obtained through illegal surveillance, and it was clear the prosecution knew they were in trouble. Instead of going to a hearing, they rushed to offer a deal: one year of unsupervised probation. They knew they couldn't go against my team and were looking for a way to save face and close the case gracefully. If you need someone who knows how to fight and win, Murat and Ryan are the attorneys you want in your corner. They're smart, relentless, and know how to get results. I’m blessed for their expertise and dedication—they really came through for me.

Erkan & Sullivan gave me my life back after 30 years of injustice. I can’t begin to express the gratitude I have for Attorney Murat Erkan and the team at Erkan & Sullivan. For 30 years, I lived with the nightmare of a wrongful conviction that tore me away from my family and led to my deportation. I was betrayed by two unscrupulous lawyers before I found Murat. Those previous lawyers took my money, filed weak motions, and gave me nothing in return but more heartache and hopelessness. When I came to Erkan & Sullivan, I didn’t just find lawyers; I found people who truly cared about me and my family. Murat listened to my story and immediately saw how much I had been wronged. He didn’t just treat me like another case—he fought for me like he was fighting for his own family. His brilliant legal work completely dismantled the government’s case, and his motion was so powerful that the prosecutor admitted my guilty plea had been illegally obtained. Thanks to Murat, my conviction was overturned, and my case was dismissed. For the first time in decades, I can finally breathe again, knowing I have a real chance to reunite with my family and live without the fear of being ripped away from them. My wife and children have suffered for so long, and this result has given us all a chance to heal and move forward. If you are looking for a law firm that truly cares and will fight tirelessly for you, Erkan & Sullivan is the only choice. They don’t just promise results—they deliver them. Thank you for giving me and my family our lives back

Atty Ryan Sullivan did outstanding legal work for our 22 year old son facing criminal charges. Ryan was able to negotiate and settle without a trial and my son only had 6 months probation and then it will be dismissed. This was wonderful news for our son and for us and we are so grateful to have had Ryan represent him in court with ongoing clear legal guidance resulting in best outcome. Thanks Ryan! Chris and Elaine Madden.

Thank you Ryan Sullivan for representing my son I call a different lawyer and they recommend me to you I am grateful for your service.

I truly admired how calm Ryan was in court while hitting the nail on the head. Our two cases were dismissed on the first appearance. I highly recommend Ryan P.

Ryan was quick to return my call on a last minute request for his services. He was able to get my case resolved promptly with minimal stress around the issue. He put me at ease when I was feeling overwhelmed. He even took the time afterwards to meet with me to provide me future recommendations. He truly is kind! I highly recommend him and will absolutely use him if ever needed in the future.

Made a really dumb decision last year in the heat of the moment resulting in charges that could have cost me my career and livelihood. I hired Ryan to assist me, and it was pretty last minute. He was very knowledgeable and professional. He is also very knowledgeable and familiar with processes in the area he serves. Ryan was reliable, always on time and responsive to email and text. He contacted the town prosecutor right away. My case never made it past the magistrate. Ryan was honest and up front with fees, and I was charged exactly as agreed.

Attorney Ryan Sullivan represented me at a Magistrate Hearing. He was responsive and met with me immediately when I contacted him. He put me at ease with his professionalism and confidence .Thanks to him I had no charges filed against me and I would recommend him to anyone seeking for representation or advice. Very thankful for his help.

During my rather contentious divorce and some other matters that came along with that, I have had to meet with several attorneys. My last one picked up COVID19 and I had to get a new one. Long story short in just a few 10 mins phone calls Ryan got the concept and heart of my matter. Mr. Sullivan was not only able to explain to me what I have had struggles explaining and understanding but more importantly knew what the challenges of my case were. He knew what the battle was all about and honestly how difficult although with a winning argument and truthful evidence the case would be. I do not look for sugar coated answers but the truth. He is tremendous and worth every single penny of his valuable time.

ATTORNEY Sullivan is Definitely the attorney you want, he was there for me from the min I reached out to him, and still there for me today if I needed him. I have never in my life had any problems, but finally had a situation. Ryan was there for me the entire way and showed the truth, Thanks to Attorney Ryan's hard work my case was dismissed.!!!!

Outstanding lawyer. Professional and all around great person. He will treat you right and fair and always fight for the best outcome.

Ryan was supportive, calming, knowledgeable, and provided us information while being empathetic and honest.

Attorney Ryan Sullivan represented me in the Lowell District Court for 2 of my driving citations. And he won both of the cases in my favour. Which saved my driving license from being suspended because of my driving history. He was very professional and patient in listening to my side of the story and argued the case accordingly to my favour. I was 100% satisfied in the job he did. I would definitely recommend him for anyone who needs a good representation for their case.

Thanks Ryan for helping me out! Much respect to you ! Great lawyer!

I just want to say that attorney Ryan Sullivan Did a Great job in my case. He is very knowledgeable at what he does. Ryan is a very professional. Ryan guided me from the start to finish in my case. I would recommend Ryan to anyone.

Ryan has been an outstanding lawyer. After finding Attorney Sullivan online and reading many positive reviews, I contacted him in regards to a few criminal charges and a few civilian charges all due to a car accident. He was very quick to get back in contact with me and so knowledgeable. I contacted him a few weeks prior to my first hearing and he was willing to meet with me as soon as possible to hear me out and go over it all. Ryan is very well respected in court and has really walked me through the whole process step by step to help me better understand every possible outcome for my case. Though I did not believe I would have such a great outcome I did not lose faith that Ryan would help me through it all. He was able to get my charges dismissed in such a short amount of time. I truly could not thank him enough for all his help! I would definitely recommend Attorney Sullivan to anyone.

I saw Ryan on Super Lawyers about a year ago when I acquired my charges. Ryan met with me and went over the details of my case in a 2 hour free consultation that he definitely did not have to do. The case took quite some time due to the court system, I was not too upset because it was in line with some travelling i had planned. After all said and done he had an OUI charge dropped and I plead out to a lesser charge which allowed me to get my license back sooner and did not have nearly as many penalties. In my case this was totally worth it, other lawyers told me i should plea out early, not him. Ryan was honest and confident, especially with his experience prior as a Lowell DA. Ryan was definitely worth every penny.

We were referred to Ryan and am so grateful. My son made a stupid mistake. Ryan walked us through the process, which he knows very well. One of the most important things he advised us of was to learn patience. My son just wanted it finished. But some things take a long time and can't be rushed. He was there to advise him the whole way, and was very good about answering our questions (a lot of them). In the end we went to trial and my son's sentence was reduced. Ryan was extremely well prepared. We are very happy with the outcome and we can not thank Ryan enough. I would highly recommend him.

I have had the pleasure of working with Attorney Ryan Sullivan as a lead defense attorney on multiple occasions. I have never met or worked with an attorney who provides the integrity, dedication and talent of attorney Sullivan. Attorney Sullivan has experience from both sides of the legal system (prosecution/defense) which provides him with a unique skill set to represent his clients and provide them the appropriate defense based on their diverse set of charges. Attorney Sullivan truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond preparing for their defense as well as explaining the legal system pertinent to their individual situations. He is promt to return phone calls and texts. His ability to defend a client in trial is uncanny he has always been prepared for what direction the prosecution may decide to pursue during trial while having the talent to audible and "think on his feet" if necessary. I cannot say enough about what a great attorney Ryan Sullivan is - there are few attorneys in Massachusetts capable of providing the legal representation of Ryan Sullivan. I highly recommend him and if you have the opportunity to work with him I have no doubt you will be as satisfied and thankful as myself.

Friends with my boss and one great and smart lawyer. Best in the city.

First off, I would like to say that I deeply appreciate all of the help I received from Attorney Ryan Sullivan. Secondly, if youre looking for a defense attorney, seriously, look no further. Ryan sincerely cares and values being able to help his clients which is a lot to do with why he is such a great attorney. We won my case, but even if we would have lost, I would have still gone back to Ryan for representation because he is worth it. I can't say enough to show my appreciation for all his hard work and dedication. So once again I just want to say thank you Ryan!

I was referred to Ryan and am so grateful. Being a young male, I made a stupid mistake. Ryan walked me through the process, which he knows very well. One of the most important things he advised me of was to learn patience. I just wanted it finished. But some things take a long time and can't be rushed. He was there to advise me the whole way, and was very good about answering my parents questions (a lot of them). In the end we went to trial and my sentence was reduced. Ryan was extremely well prepared. I am very happy with the outcome and I can not thank Ryan enough. I would highly recommend him.

We found Ryan online, and after reading many positive reviews, we contacted him. Our initial meeting went well, he was knowledgeable and straight forward. During the process, we was upfront with information and responded quickly to emails and phone calls. He was respected in court and really came through on my case, even when I didn't think it was looking too good. I am thankful for his expertise and hard work. I would definitely recommend him as a lawyer to someone needing support during a driving offense.

Great lawyer he has helped my family immensely. Very capable and dedicated. A lawyer who actually cares and an all around good person.

Trustworthy, considerate and caring are the words I choose to describe attorney Ryan Sullivan. In a time period of 2014 / 2015 I was wrongfully accused of violating a restraining order on two occasions. The moment Attorney Sullivan took my case, I knew I could trust him. In the number of months attorney Sullivan helped me, I learned to know him as a professional and caring person at the same time. Though time has passed, the memories about his work ethic have urged me to write this review... At the beginning of our relationship, Attorney Sullivan told me, "I will do for you, whatever brings the best results." He remained true to this statement. He spent hours reviewing possible strategies and scenarios, never once staring at his watch. Attorney Sullivan was patient describing every detail to me. In the court room, Attorney Sullivan was focused, informed and in control. I never lost that feeling of being "in trustworthy hands" for a minute. I would highly recommend Attorney Sullivan to anybody.

July 2013, I was charged with 2 driving offenses and both had minimum jail time had I been found guilty. I was charged by 2 police officers. My primary goal in hiring an lawyer was that they would be thorough, caring, knowledgeable and respected. My first meeting with Ryan verified to me his knowledge and experience. The first time we appeared in court together, I could tell by the reaction of the court officers and judge, he was highly thought of and had total respect of his peers. Ryan worked diligently for over 30 months, using his legal prowess and experience to work my case thru to trial. One charged was dropped at a motion hearing that floored the D.A without any rebuttal. I felt like I was in the presence of Perry Mason..Eventually, the other charge went to trial with a non sympathetic judge and a jury of 6. After 2 days, I was found not guilty and left the court and went home to my family. I take great pride in my relationship with Ryan. He is a terrific human being and a great lawyer. If you need an attorney, hire Ryan Sullivan...

I am so grateful to have been referred to Ryan. I came to him with three separate driving-related incidents, all of which were causing me immense anxiety and potentially putting in jeopardy my ability to keep my driver's license. He is incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate, and the fact he is a former DA translates into invaluable experience that he puts to work in favor of clients. He explained to me exactly what to expect, the outcome we are striving for, and gave me the tools and information to feel at ease and in control while I navigate this ordeal. My cases are still ongoing, but I am so thankful to be working with him. He is incredibly responsive, and somehow seems to always be available to answer any questions! I drove an hour to see him, and I would recommend him to anyone in the state of MA; that's how much confidence I have in him and his resourcefulness.

Omg!!! This is just one of the best lawyers I have come across in Middlesex county. He is always responsive to any phone call at anytime,he knows how to advice his defendant and he has time to seek all information possible from all sides. He goes above and beyond for his client and is open to various ideas. He is respectful too and very optimistic. We need people like him to fight for justice and peace.I strongly recommend him to anybody who has criminal cases for real.

Ryan is an outstanding attorney and one of the nicest, thoughtful and most detail-oriented lawyers I have ever met. I was referred to him by another attorney who recommended Ryan could help me resolve a moving violation I received on Rt. 9 highway in Wellesley, MA heading to Boston. The police officers on that stretch of Rt. 9 can be particularly tough as they frequently pull people over. Ryan took the time to get to know me, understand every detail/aspect of the case, and put together an outstanding Defense argument for my hearing. Ryan was extremely organized and strategic in his approach and we won the case as the judge found me Not Responsible. I strongly recommend Ryan for anyone that needs a defense attorney for moving violations, motor vehicle offense, criminal defense for misdemeanor or felony offenses or even other general litigation. Ryan has a broad range of expertise and an impressive history of experience. Bottom line, he's FANTASTIC.

Attorney Ryan Sullivan successfully had a twenty year old restraining order against me vacated at the Concord District Court. Attorney Sullivan filed motions and affidavit's in my behalf before the court date, spoke clearly and professionally during my court hearing, and cross examined the accused without resorting to bully tactics. He also suggested that I get two letters from people that know me that would accurately describe my moral character. He said everything that was essential to the judge to get the restraining order against me vacated. Attorney Sullivan was a professional over the telephone, email, and in person. He is a former prosecutor and now a defense attorney. He is well known and respected at the Concord District Court. If you need a defense attorney in the Concord District Court area, then I highly recommend Attorney Ryan Sullivan.

Ryan Sullivan is a very knowledgeable attorney. He is one of my go-to professionals when I am seeking insight on more complicated criminal matters. Without any reservations, he has my vote of confidence.

Attorney Ryan Sullivan is professional, knowledgeable and compassionate.
