Expensive, but nice people

I couldn’t be happier with my outcome thanks to Heath Lynch and his colleagues. I was looking at a lengthy prison sentence and I am thankful to have been sentenced to probation only. My case took almost a year from start to finish and I was in constant communication with my attorney, Heath. He is very knowledgeable and always does what he says. Heath is great at his job and cares about his clients. If I could give him more stars I would, I highly recommend Heath and his firm.

We hired Bartish & Borgula Law, PLLC for one of our employee and had an exceptionally good experience. Heath Lynch's is an exceptional professional who knows how to easily handle cases from the simplest to the most complicated. Even for those who don’t speak a good English, for the language barrier we found a simple solution that brought good results in the end. Highly recommended, five stars, and thank you, Heath!

I never expected that we would need legal representation but I thank God that this firm was the first Google suggested. When I contacted them and they explained their experience with defending people. After talking to Heath Lynch and his experience on the prosecuting side, I knew he was the right person for our situation. He listened to us and gave guidance as needed. I was able to leave this in his hands and l feel that our voices were heard and our rights protected as much as possible in the situation. I can't recommend this firm enough.

I had a great experience working with Heath Lynch and his team. They were very responsive and always kept me updated on the status of my case. Heath is a genuine person and he truly wants the best for his clients. I was faced with two misdemeanor charges and Heath was able to get both of them dropped leaving me with 16 community service hours. This was the best case scenario for my situation and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. I initially reached out to Heath while he was on vacation. I was in need of a lawyer and time was not on my side. I called him on vacation and he answered my call with no hesitation, evaluated my case and I was able to acquire him within the next day. I am so grateful for the work Heath and his team put in to make sure I walked out with the best result possible.

On December 29th I was pulled over and charged with my first OWI. I knew I needed to find a lawyer to represent me. I was lucky enough to have Gary represent me in this case. Gary went above and beyond for me and worked super hard on my case. I was super nervous about the situation but his team and himself made me feel super confident that we were going to win this fight. After 5 months of fighting this we went to trial and the outcome of the trial was amazing. Gary fought all the way till the end and convinced the jury that I was not guilty. The jury said I was not guilty and o was completely out of the OWI. I highly recommend Gary and his team for anyone that is in a criminal case. They are super smart and know a lot about all the laws. Very impressed.

I hired Michael Bartish as my lawyer for an OWI third offense charge. He was very knowledgeable in all aspects of the law and especially with my case. He knew the ins and outs of the separate courts within the area and how the process would move forward. At any point I could reach out and Michael would respond in an appropriate manor with anything I needed. Michael and his Law-firm successfully got me through my process with the minimum charges for my offense. Also successfully got me into a program that could help reduce my charge to a lower offense moving forward. I would 100% endorse and work with Michael Bartish in the future.

My daughter is a GVSU student who was charged with a traffic offense on campus. It was a situation that was really blown out of proportion and she was charged with a misdemeanor and faced school sanctions. All of the friends and family that I spoke to about the situation were shocked at the charges, especially after reading the police report. I was out of town on business when she was charged, and I didn't realize the seriousness of the situation. Initially, I was going to consult a lawyer who was in Ottawa County, closer to home. However, after researching more about misdemeanors and their long term impact, I was greatly concerned for my daughter who is in the process of applying to graduate schools. At this point I started looking at online reviews of law firms to find a lawyer who could help my daughter. All but a couple of reviews of Springstead Bartish Borgula & Lynch were amazing. I called their firm and booked a consultation immediately. My daughter and I met with Mr. Heath Lynch for a consultation, and we were so impressed with his confidence, professionalism, and genuine concern that we hired him immediately. Neither of us had any experience with criminal proceedings, so he guided us step by step through the process. He let me know from the start that while my daughter was his client and he had to respect her confidentiality, that he would keep me informed during the process, too. Mr. Lynch met with my daughter and called her several times to prepare her for her court dates and also assisted with her school sanctions. His office staff were very prompt about sending out reminders and documentation to us via email. The process took approximately three months from start to finish. When we actually went to court, it was obvious that Mr. Lynch is a well respected counselor. We observed other attorneys at the courthouse, and we were very relieved to have Mr. Lynch assisting us. We knew we had made the right choice. There were many different outcomes that this case could have had, but we received the best possible outcome: a reduction to a civil infraction, a fine, and restitution. I know that without Mr. Lynch my daughter would have ended up with a misdemeanor charge that would have impacted her pursuit of a graduate degree and ultimately her career. Yes, this law firm is more expensive than the firm we were going to initially consult, but the quality of the representation and the outcome completely justified the cost. I highly recommend this firm, and Mr. Lynch in particular, to anyone who is facing a legal situation.

When I was charged with a misdemeanor, I immediately knew that I needed legal aid. A permanent criminal record would devastate my future academic and career plans. There were two lawyers I looked at, one of which was Mr. Lynch. The other lawyer I considered was more affordable, but had a less impressive history. I knew after my initial meeting with Mr. Lynch that he was the lawyer I was going to go with. He was incredibly professional, put together, and straight with me. Let's be clear, you don't want to bargain shop when it comes to choosing a lawyer; your future is on the line. I can honestly say that Mr. Lynch was worth every penny and more. For the months that it took to resolve my legal problems, Mr. Lynch was there every step of the way. He would consistently call, email, and text me details I needed to know, as well as checking in with me. I remember calling him in-between my classes when I had questions about school sanctions relating to my charges and he was very helpful in explaining the process to me. One time there was a miscommunication about what day we were supposed to meet to discuss my case; I showed up at his office and he didn't have a meeting with me in his schedule. Regardless, he still sat down and met with me anyway. Mr. Lynch never offered me false promises or was in anyway less than truthful with me, which I greatly appreciated. His competency was all the reassurance I needed. He was also remarkably detail oriented, remembering and bringing up personal details I had only briefly mentioned. I was so pleased when he came out of the final pretrial meeting to tell me he had gotten me a plea agreement for a civil infraction - it was the best possible outcome! I can honestly say that I would 100% recommend Mr. Lynch as a lawyer.
