At a time of desperate need, Gary Springstead took control of a particular legal affair and explained the process and potential outcomes with clarity, understanding, confidence and professionalism. The outcome was better than I had anticipated. Thanks to Springstead Bartish & Borgula Law, PLLC.

Gary Springstead saved my life! It was my first offence owi charge. I was sleeping in my car with the ignition on when the cops showed up and arrested me. I had no idea what to do, I've never been in a situation like this. So, I began to research different law firms around the area using the internet. The one law firm that stood out the most was Springstead Bartish and Borgula law. With there perfect 5 star ratings I kept researching. I kept reading and reading all these perfect 5 star reviews from past clients. I was convinced so I gave them a call and talked to Gary about my situation. After talking to him, my stress and anxiety level went down drastically. His confidence and honesty was what I liked about him, he was upfront about everything including what he charges and that's what made me hire him. BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE. The only time I appeared in court was for my arraignment, other than that Gary took care of everything with the prosecutor behind the scenes. If I had any questions they were quick to respond whether via email or phone call. His team was constantly updating me on the status of my case. There was never a time that I didn't know what was going on. Gary Springstead had my misdemeanor owi charge dropped to a civil infraction reckless driving charge with only a few points on my license and a ticket for reckless driving. He had my case dismissed and my implied consent refusal dropped. I can't thank Gary enough for what he did for me. I would recommend Gary Springstead to everybody whose in need of a criminal defence attorney. He is the best around. Thank you again Gary Springstead.

This law firm is a powerhouse that gets RESULTS. I cannot speak highly enough of them. I hired Mr Gary Springstead to defend me against 3 very serious felony drug charges. He looked at the evidence closely and was able to write up a compelling argument to the prosecutor on why my charges should be dropped, and was able to get all three felonies DROPPED to one single misdemeanor! I was just sentenced this week and did not receive a single day of jail time! Throughout the process, both Gary and his staff kept me aware of what was happening, and our court dates I was prepped thoroughly so I knew how to handle any questions.
Gary gets my highest recommendation both as a world-class attorney and as a human being.
Thank you my friend.

Hands down the best defense laywer around. I was being charged with a potential second owi that would have impacted my life severely... Losing my license for a year and loads of fines. Gary went to work for me, nailed down all the Information and got me a plea agreement. This agreement allowed me to keep my license No jail time. Without Gary no way this would have been possible. Definitely saved my life.

I was charged with a very serious crime that could have impacted my future detrimentally. I was unsure which criminal lawyer to contact as I had no experience working with lawyers in the past. However, I did my research and found Gary Springstead and his team. I felt like Gary and his entire legal team always kept me in the loop as far as what was going on with my case; I was able to have access to any new information/evidence that was presented to him. I was also able to contact Gary via my phone or email at any time if I had any questions or concerns about what was going on and he always responded in a timely manner. I felt like Gary was approachable and direct with what was going on. The best part of working with Gary was that I received absolutely no jail time or probation once my case was concluded. In addition, the other thing that was imperative to me was how I was in control of making all of the decisions in regard to my case. Gary did not make any decisions without consulting me first because he wanted to ensure that I was comfortable with the direction that we were going in. I recommend Gary Springstead and his legal team to anybody that is facing a difficult criminal situation in their life currently.

I highly recommend hiring Gary Springstead. I was arrested for a DUI charge because of Michigan's zero tolerance policy. Gary was quickly able to dismiss my case! Communication was always open and friendly. I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome of one of the worst situations I've had to deal with.

Springstead, Bartish, and Borgula are incredibly professional and get the job done for their clients. The organization I am head of ran into a small claims case and they cleared it up with no headache on our end. I highly recommend Springstead, Bartish, and Borgula for your legal needs. I will certainly give them a call if there is a need in the future.

Mike Bartish and Gary Springstead are the BEST!! I called and left a message to ask them about their services at about 10 p.m. and my call was returned by 9 a.m. the very next day. I was so relieved to hear the sincere concern and empathy for my case. That is what makes them special! Mike and Gary are both very heartfelt individuals and will do what ever it takes to assist you with your needs. In my case, I was needed someone who would be willing to go the extra mile and not to fear the judge involved. The judge we were dealing with is very difficult to come to any agreements with. Mike Bartish was very "real" with the judge and spoke about being humans and deserving another chance. The judge listened to him as he would when discussing a friend or family member.
I am so incredibly thankful I found them online and made the call. I will never use another legal service for anything. They are stuck with me for life!!

I was pulled over for window tint in Newaygo county north west of Grant MI in mid August and arrested for a DUI. At the time I currently had a bench warrant out for a DUI in Oakland county. My lawyer in Oakland county contacted Gary and together they devised a plan to keep me out of jail & with minimal penalties. I was skeptic at first if they would be able to make good on the best case scenarios they described, however during the pre to final sentencing Gary was able to adjust the court hearing dates and my requirements to be there to help my other case in Oakland county. I called him 2 weeks before my sentencing for my other DUI and he was able to move my court date up to accommodate my sentencing. When I arrived for final sentencing I was worried that I might be facing possible jail time and probation in Newaygo but Gary was able to persuade the judge to let me off with nothing more then paying my fines and putting my vehicle on lock down for 90 days. I highly recommend Gary if you are in any type of trouble in north western Michigan, Gary Springstead is a life saver!
