Top best Federal Lawyers in Grand Rapids | 54 available

I have 25+ years experience in estate planning and related/overlapping areas of law including wills & trusts, advanced estate/gift tax planning, asset protection, farm/business succession planning, charitable gift planning and post-death estate and trust administration.  I have an additional law degree (Ll.M. or Masters of Law) in taxation and with that have devoted my entire career to estate planning for high net worth situations (as well as more routine/basic situations).  I usually do not charge for a preliminary consultation so you can decide whether you would like to work with me "without the meter running".

Heath Lynch is an accomplished trial attorney and dynamic advocate who now defends the accused after spending nine years as an Assistant U.S. Attorney with the United States Department of Justice.  Mr. Lynch has defended and prosecuted hundreds of criminal cases, and uses his extensive experience in law enforcement to help his clients understand the charges and evidence against them, and to build the most effective possible defense against those charges.  Mr. Lynch helps his individual and business clients avoid criminal charges by negotiating with prosecuting attorneys before charging decisions are made.  Where charges cannot be avoided, Mr. Lynch assists clients through every step of the case process, with personal attention to their needs, careful evaluation of the evidence, and strategic acumen.  Mr. Lynch helps his clients weigh the decision to take a case to trial, and to understand the risks and benefits of the choices they face.  Unafraid to take any case to trial or to fight for his clients before a jury, Mr. Lynch has achieved a tremendous record of success against prosecuting attorneys, achieving acquittals in complex felony cases -- including charges which carried potential life sentences -- and in misdemeanor cases as well.  Mr. Lynch and his colleagues at Springstead Bartish Borgula & Lynch, PLLC, have built the most formidable team of trial attorneys and criminal defense specialists in Michigan.

Decades of success is not easily overlooked. I am focused on delivering results. I have been practicing law in State and Federal courts for more than 20 years and have obtained a vast amount of experience as a result of many courtroom battles. Recent victories include acquittals for possessing firearms in furtherance of drug trafficking (fed case#1:22-cr-169), retaliation against an informant causing injury (fed case#1:20-cr-009); reduced sentence sex trafficking, conspiracy to commit sex trafficking (state case#23-1409FC). You're innocent until proven guilty. It's not a crime to be accused of a crime - Don't Settle.. I've handled a wide array of criminal charges, including:. Firearm OffensesDrug distribution overdoseDrug conspiracyBank fraudArmed RobberyChild sexual abuseFelony drunk drivingMurderStalkingTerrorism-related chargesUttering and publishing. I grew up in Gary, Indiana (about 28 miles southeast of Chicago). Violent crime was commonplace in my childhood neighborhood. After graduating high school I left my old neighborhood and joined the U.S. Navy where I served six years on active duty. Afterward, I attended and graduated from the University of California, at Berkeley, Berkeley, California. From there it was on to Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Lansing, Michigan. My early life experiences have shaped my perspective of the criminal justice system. I have personally seen what it means to have a lawyer who (1) understands your family dynamics, (2) understands environmental barriers, and (3) will fight. I understand what it is like to be accused of a crime and to find yourself in the crosshairs of the police.. I've built a reputation for delivering results for my clients. I bring a disciplined approach and steadfast commitment to work each day.
