Tewksbury, Massachusetts, is a growing community in northern Essex and Middlesex Counties. With a population of just under 29,000 people, the town has seen a lot of new residential and commercial development in the past years, but has maintained a lot of its small-town feeling. Although the recent development has been an economic boom for the town, the residents have been able to avoid an over-commercialization of the new projects thanks to a thorough master plan designed to facilitate an increase in foot traffic and residences serviced by nearby commercial establishments.
Like any growing town, however, Tewksbury is not immune to criminal charges and court cases that disrupt the lives of its residents. Our firm regularly defends clients against charges, including OUI/DUI, drug possession and distribution, domestic assault, theft, weapons violations, and serious felonies. We understand the mandatory minimum sentences attached to certain crimes in our state and build defense strategies designed to protect your record and your future. Immigration consequences, license suspensions, and employment issues are always part of our analysis, because we know the wider effects a conviction can have. Schedule a consultation today and let us put our aggressive defense strategies to work for you.
As a result of the small-town feeling enjoyed by its residents, many people who are accused of crimes in Tewksbury are surprised when they find that they are required to attend the Lowell District Court for their arraignment and future court appearances. All criminal cases start off in the district court in Lowell, located at 41 Hurd Street. We have handled nearly every imaginable type of case in this busy and diverse court, from driving offenses, domestic assault and battery cases, and felony charges. Knowing the courthouse staff and developing professional relationships with the prosecutors and judges in Tewksbury has allowed us to make a name for ourselves as capable and knowledgeable local criminal defense attorneys.
Attorney Ryan Sullivan grew up in town and went through the Tewksbury public school system. While attending TMHS, Attorney Sullivan was a member of the track and field program from 1997-2001. Attorney Sullivan comes from a family that settled in Tewksbury in the early 20th Century. His grandfather was a state representative for the area, his father was a Tewksbury selectman, and his great-uncle was the former Chief of Police (who the new police station is named after). At Erkan & Sullivan, P.C., our defense team is proud to carry this deep local connection forward.
In addition to Attorney Sullivan’s individual experience, our clients also benefit from Attorney Murat Erkan’s extensive trial experience. He is widely regarded as one of Massachusetts’s most accomplished criminal defense lawyers. His ability to handle high-stakes charges, from serious drug offenses to violent crimes, brings another level of strength to the firm.
With more than forty years of collective experience, our lawyers have built a reputation for being aggressive, strategic, and honest. We do not back down when prosecutors push for maximum penalties, and we never treat cases as routine or disposable. Every client receives individualized attention, detailed preparation, and the confidence that comes from knowing their legal representative understands the law and local courts.
While Attorney Sullivan’s ties to his hometown are long-standing, our firm now operates from our new office at 300 High Street in Andover, Massachusetts. This central location allows our criminal defense attorneys to serve clients not only from Tewksbury but also from Lowell, Lawrence, and communities across Essex and Middlesex Counties. With this expansion, we have positioned ourselves to better meet the needs of clients who want local representation with the strength and resources of a seasoned criminal defense team.
Our office is located in downtown Lowell, within walking distance of the courthouse. To travel to the office from Tewksbury, it is just a short drive down Main Street, taking a left on Andover Street, and then a right on Central Street. Our building is at the corner of the next intersection on the right. If you are coming from Route 495, take the Lowell connector all the way to the end, turning left onto Gorham Street, which turns into Central Street. Again, our office is located on the right-hand side.
With our new office, clients also have another convenient option for in-person consultations. The office is easily accessible from I-93 and I-495, making it a practical choice for clients coming from both Essex and Middlesex Counties. Whether you want to meet close to the courthouse or in a quieter suburban environment, our firm can accommodate your needs.
If you or a loved one is in legal trouble, whether cited with a traffic ticket, charged with a misdemeanor, accused of drug theft, gun crime, or facing another serious criminal charge, defense attorneys Murat Erkan and Ryan Sullivan can assist you. Knowing the court, the police, and the courthouse staff can be an invaluable asset to have in your defense.
