*Former prosecutor | Incomparable results.*
Most lawyers are long on promises, but short on results. We prefer to let our results do the talking. Check out our most recent case results on our website, https://www.erkanlaw.com/case-results. You will see that the vast majority of our cases result in dismissal, acquittal, or exoneration. Stated simply, our record of success is unmatched.
*The intersection of experience and innovation.*
Attorney Murat Erkan, principal at Erkan & Associates, LLC, is a veteran trial lawyer nearing a quarter century of criminal law experience. Fresh out of law school in 1998, Attorney Erkan accepted a position with the Essex County District Attorney's Office, performing most of his work in Lawrence. There, Attorney Erkan took on positions of increasing responsibility, first supervising the domestic violence team, then the Lawrence District Court trial team, then joining the felony division of the DA's office. He has handled every type of case imaginable - from drunk driving to murder. Building off his years in law enforcement, Attorney Erkan developed an intuitive understanding of how criminal cases are put together, and, consequently, how best to take those cases apart.
But Attorney Erkan offers much more than experience. Attorney Erkan recognizes that every case must be evaluated and handled on its own merits. While experience informs his choices, Attorney Erkan constructs his defense strategy from the ground up, identifying and pursuing the innovative strategies and solutions uniquely tailored to each case. Many lawyers stay within their comfort zone, sticking to the same tired cookie cutter strategies that may (or may not) have succeeded in the past. Attorney Erkan recognizes that his clients deserve much more than this. When his clients' freedom is on the line, Attorney Erkan chooses the path to victory over the path of least resistance. Every time. Though this level of discipline is hard work, the results he obtains through this process truly speak for themselves.
*High professional standing, five star service.*
One of the strongest indicators of an effective attorney is their standing in the eyes of their peers and their clients. At Erkan & Associates, we are proud to say that our clients have, without exception, given us perfect 5 star ratings on all available review platforms. Check out our reviews at avvo.com, on Google, and on our website to see our firm through the eyes of our existing clients.
Similarly, our firm has received impressive accolades from fellow attorneys in the legal community. Importantly, we have received a rating of "AV Preeminent" on Martindale Hubbell. This is the highest ranking available for attorneys and is awarded to the less than 10% of attorneys across the country who, in the eyes of their peers, demonstrate the highest level of professional competence and ethical standing in the profession. Check out our peer reviews on martindale.com, avvo.com, and on our website.
*Your case, your defense team.*
The experience many clients have with their lawyers is one of diminishing returns. While the lawyer is happy to talk to land a case, things change once money has changed hands. Phone calls end up in voice mails; emails remain unanswered. At my office, we understand that our clients are the beating heart of our practice. It is their lives on the line, and their lawyers are their lifeline. That is why when you call our office during business hours, you will always speak to a member of our team. There are no voice menus to navigate. We have carefully selected a group of like-minded people who know who you are, understand your situation, and care about what happens to you. If you have an emergency situation and call after hours, you can leave us a message which will be transmitted instantly to our personal phones for rapid response time. Similarly, your emails will go directly to the attorneys who will provide detailed and timely responses.
*Your most important choice.*
When you are charged with a crime, the single most important thing you can do to protect yourself is to retain an effective attorney. Contact our office to discuss your case for free and find out the difference the right attorney can make.
