A Life Devoted to Justice, Honor, and Service. Beginning with his service in the United States Army Judge Advocate General Corps, where he defended those who defend America, Mike Bartish has always been a force to be reckoned with. A criminal defense attorney whose compassion for his clients is as fierce as his courtroom skills, Mike has been an unwavering advocate for justice and the accused for nearly two decades. His story is not just about legal triumphs but a dedication to service that transcends professional boundaries.. Early Life and Education. Mike Bartish's journey in the realm of law began at the University of Notre Dame, where he attended on a U.S. Army R.O.T.C. scholarship. Yet it was at the University of Cincinnati College of Law where he honed his legal skills, setting the stage for a remarkable career that would extend far beyond the confines of the courtroom.. A Lawyer's Mind, a Soldier's Soul: The Army Years. After graduating from law school, Mike joined the United States Army Judge Advocate General Corps, where he took his first steps in criminal law. Stationed at Fort Hood, Texas, and serving in the First Cavalry Division and the Trial Defense Services, Mike navigated the intricacies of over 100 cases and 15 jury trials, including high-profile murder and attempted murder cases. His four-year tenure in active duty honed not just his legal skills but also instilled an unbreakable sense of duty, honor, and service.. A New Chapter: The Birth of SBBL Law, PLLC. Leaving active duty after four years, Mike moved to Grand Rapids and worked for two renowned law firms before joining forces with Gary Springstead to create Springstead & Bartish Law, PLLC in 2011. What began as a modest, three-person operation quickly established itself by turning seemingly indefensible cases into trial successes. As the firm’s reputation grew, so did the size of the firm until it evolved into SBBL Law, PLLC, - West Michigan’s premier criminal defense firm.. A Lawyer With a Heart. Mike has a reputation for taking his cases personally. Some might see this as a weakness; for him, it's an unmatched strength. Specializing in defending clients charged with some of the most serious criminal offenses imaginable, Mike's numerous acquittals in both state and federal courts speak volumes about his commitment to his clients—whom he defends as passionately as if they were family. Mike also understands, however, that sometimes clients need more than just a defense in the courtroom. Mike has a unique ability to fashion resolutions for his clients in lieu of trial that address the client’s circumstances and treat the underlying cause of uncharacteristic actions. Mike’s reputation for honesty, honor, and ethical behavior has allowed him to cultivate trustworthy relationships with prosecuting attorneys and courts throughout the state to benefit his clients.. Mike’s advocacy is not limited to trials. Mike has also established himself as a formidable advocate for his clients in the appellate courts. With extensive experience in the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals and Michigan appellate courts, his record includes numerous victories and precedent-setting published decisions.. A Lasting Legacy. In addition to his civilian practice, Mike dedicated his life to the United States Army. Mike served on active duty in the Army Reserves and the Michigan National Guard for 26 years, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel in May 2023. He spent most of his career as a trial defense attorney and defense appellate counsel defending those defending America.. Beyond Legal Briefs and Courtrooms. His service didn't stop at the courtroom or the military. It extends to shaping future legal minds as a West Catholic High School Mock Trial Team volunteer coach. What spare time Mike does have, he spends with his wife Anne (an accomplished attorney in her own right) and his four children. On weekends, Mike can usually be found on the sideline of an athletic field (often multiple fields), cheering on his children or immersed in a spirited yard or board game with his family.
