Wonderful

I can not thank and recommend Gary enough! I was facing very serious charges and a possibility of jail time. A lawyer friend highly recommended Gary and I am so grateful she did. In addition to a significant reduction of my charges, Gary and his team made the process incredibly easy. Never having... been to court before, I was apprehensive and did not know what to expect. Thankfully, Gary's team was quick to respond to all of my calls/emails/texts and walked me through the process. The team went above and beyond by proactively updating me and letting me know what to expect through the process. The team was also very accommodating to my travel and work schedule. I live out of state and I was worried I would have to travel for arraignments and court dates. Thankfully, the team collaborated with my schedule and I only had to appear in Michigan once. Overall, Gary is amazing. He gave me better results than I ever thought possible. Thanks Gary!

Great Counsel for DUI

Gary and team were wonderful to work with, set very realistic expectations early on, and provided great advice. They kept me out of jail while charged with High BAC with an accident, in my case that was by no means an easy task. I can't thank him and the firm enough.

Early release from HYDA probation for medical reasons

Gary Springstead just recently helped me get off of HYDA probation and the registry early so that I can get to a foreign country to receive extra care not available in the US for my cancer diagnosis. My probation and accompanying agent were being strict about allowing me to leave the country while on... probation, despite the worthy reasons, so I contacted Gary about the situation. He understood fully what I was asking, and explained to me our next steps in way I was able to understand. He was able to secure an early release from HYDA probation for me so that I am able to continue my treatments. He was my original attorney, as well -- and has been the most helpful and straightfoward attorney to deal with. If you need any help with any sort of criminal legal advice or representation, Gary Springstead is the only choice I would recommend. He and his team work incredibly hard to make sure that you get the best representation and best results possible. Thanks to him, I will now be able to get the care that I require -- and it wouldn't have been possible otherwise. Thank you, Gary!

Life Lessons 101

I recently had the misfortune of learning the following lessons the hard way. Had I been convicted I was facing Life plus 15 years and 93 days and a ton of fines. Luckily I found Gary K. Springstead just in the nick of time and he was able to advocate for me and get the charges reduced down to a plea... that puts me on 1 year of felony probation and 2 years of misdemeanor probation with felony being dismissed upon completion of probation. 1. Sometimes the people we love the most will hurt us the worst. 2. Do NOT ever under any circumstances talk to the cops about anything ever! 3. Local attorneys in small ponds can be a greater detriment than an asset. 4. When your life is one the line money doesn't matter. 5. The system is brutal and brutally unfair and biased. Once they get their teeth in you they won't just let go. 6. Very few people or attorneys really care about your plight. 7. You personally have no voice in the system 8. You need someone special with an extensive knowledge of the law that is willing to learn the details of your particular case and fight for you as you would for yourself. 9. Do not hesitate to call Gary. The minute you find out you have a problem, spare yourself the mistake of hiring a less competent attorney, hire Gary immediately and watch him start to use his extensive knowledge of the law to help undue your situation. I found him right here on AVVO after hiring a different attorney first. I'm really glad I did! I'm convinced that he did as good or better for me than anyone else could. The previous 102 reviews are accurate and truthful. As far as I'm concerned he is the BEST attorney around. He saved my life!!! Thank you very much Gary - I appreciate all you did for me.

Accidental illegal entry

Gary was actually my 3rd attorney in this matter. I felt the most comfortable talking with him. He was even kind enough to lower the price because I had let him know how much I had paid the other attorneys. What happened was I had been at the bar drinking. I left the bar to walk to my girlfriends hou...se which was only 7 blocks away, and I ended up walking into the wrong house due to my level of intoxication. The prosecutor wanted me to spend 60 days in jail, then then it was lowered to 30 with work release. I went to sentencing expecting to get 30 days in jail, but the judge gave me 90 days with and alcohol tether instead. Gary was able to convince them that it was alcohol thats was the issue not criminal intent. It was an honest mistake and he was able to prove it. He was able to keep me out of jail and I was happy with his service. Also we both drive Audis so I knew it was meant to be :)
